Hello everybody, I have made a new thread please put in your scan date, hopefully we hear some good news this month. please be kind and feel free to share scan date, entitlement award and what child is diagnosed with as others in similar position can feel uplifted in these stressful times. 💐

New claims (NC) are taking ‘around’ 20 weeks.

Renewals between 15-20 weeks approx

scan date (SD) date form was scanned on the system and counting weeks for decision

original claim date: date you called up for the forms and you will be backdated

Hi, see when people are saying to select option 4 on the phone - is it at the initial part of the menu when it starts off with help with funeral costs?

SHE COULDNT PUT ME THROUGH HER SYSTEM WAS DOWN 😭😭

Ring back👀👀😂

Ring again and hopefully you’ll get a different person who is able to put you through!

I'm going to I think. But my belly won't let me 😭😭

oh no! Definitely ring back I hope they went with your original scan date 🤞🤞 xxx

I'm on hold again, haven't spoken to anyone at all yet. Wish my boy luck 🤞

Good luck xxx

Longest hold of my life. Sorry to be spamming the thread I just started to feel like it would never be me. I'm fully expecting a decline so am almost already crying

I’ve just rang and apparently an email has been sent to a case manager to look at it but no decision has been made ring back in a few days 🤦‍♀️

Keep positive hun hoping for you so much! Xxx

What’s your scan date and are you new claim etc? X

Your 1/3 scan date aren’t you? That’s so frustrating 🤦🏻‍♀️ just keep fobbing you off. I’m 20 weeks today so will be calling later but I feel I will be in a similar situation to you

Whats your scan date hun x

I called while stuck in snow traffic on my way to work. Still no decision. Still saying I should have one by Monday but it seems unlikely at this point. Especially if I'm in the pile behind those still waiting from dates before mine x
