Well I still have the tiniest bit of hope that a decision was made over the weekend and that I don't need to escalate it further but I also know that will absolutely be the case. I can't get over how unfairly the system is ran. Like my mind boggles how some can be awarded so much earlier than others, with others left to chase and take it further as its been over 20 weeks. Good luck everybody. Really hope there's lots of awards this week x

This is what I said on the phone last week. “You’re telling me 25weeks yet multiple people have had decision back after my date” she didn’t really have an answer. Probs why I was in a mood all weekend

I need to just try and keep busy today. Will call around half 4 and desperately hope for a positive decision, although I'm now resigned to the fact it'll probably be next week 😭 was really hoping I'd have had a decision by now. Don't think many are waiting from before me now, sd 8/7

Seen a date for the 26/07 this morning just ring then love.. xx

Good luck to everyone and hope to see many awards today!! Fingers crossed for everyone waiting !

sjay1017 · 25/11/2024 08:57

I was speaking to someone last night and she put her new claim in at the end of July, I said when were you awarded she said like 6 weeks ago.
I don’t put up with the bs I ring everyday until it’s dealt with, I never waited 20 weeks for any of my kids, she now has 3 on dla. brave I suppose lol x

zoeybrooks45 · 25/11/2024 09:09

Jeez I hope not! Sd 17/7 and a W surname for my boy 🤦‍♀️ I'm beginning to feel like our decision maker is on a 6mth holiday or it's a decline 😫 19wks on Wednesday, I'll be so peed off if we've waited all this time to be told no and have to do it all again

Surname doesn’t make sense as my boys are A so I don’t put any weight on that at all, we shall see I guess…

Definitely highlights the amount of absolute nonsense we are told on the phone though doesn't it xx

Hanacrusis · 25/11/2024 09:19

I’m sitting here contemplating calling and feeling quite sick, I really need to know now as financial situation is dire but it’s not like they care about that…

I'm 20 weeks today for new claim 😭 my dm is either the slowest person ever or just not there. On hold to get through now and praying there's a decision, although I doubt it.

When did you last call? I hope they’ve got a decision for you and they are happy to tell you without too much stress.

I dont think i have the energy for them today. We've had a particularly challenging weekend 😫 I really wish they saw the kids rather than bits of paper so they genuinely understand what we go through daily.

Hanacrusis · 25/11/2024 09:28

Well it’s just cutting off straight away when I go through option 2.

4.30pm Friday and there was still no decision.
@Katie1906 so have we and I know its only going to get worse and worse in the run up to Xmas

Watching this group for a while sd 29/7. My daughter has high functioning autism, adhd, social anxiety and sensitive processing disorder aswell as urology issues! This wait is driving my own anxiety through the roof! We need the money scared they will say no! And been ringing once a week for update with no update! 17 weeks today! Urh how can they think this is far for any of us?
