Awarded MRC, no mobility, very happy to have been awarded, but feel he should be entitled to more so on to MR we go 😭

Aww I'm happy for you ❤️ I know its not the result you hoped for but it's, in part at least, acknowledgement of your struggles. Good luck with MR xx

No, I m really happy he’s been awarded but I was just hopeful we wouldn’t have to do the MR, and they agreed to back date to when we originally requested the form even though it was quite late due to very complex personal issues.

This is me currently with my MR. Ringing up every day🤦🏽‍♀️😂 too many people with dates after mine have been awarded for them to give me the talk of 25 weeks🙄

Chels2020 · 25/11/2024 11:04

I said this to the gentleman on the phone told them we have a group and are seeing people from 21/07 awarded he went silent?? Fingers crossed but not holding much hope @Kc1999x @Kimh95

I reckon this is the same man I spoke to Friday who told me he's never heard of any award going through before 20 weeks even though we know that to be a lie. I'm 17/7, going to ring this afternoon. Fingers crossed for everyone x

Kc1999x · 25/11/2024 11:10

waited on the fudging phone to be told to ring back in 2hours because they are having system updates

Kc1999x · 25/11/2024 11:11

I am fumingggg

PollyH3 · 25/11/2024 11:14

Well if anything my breakdown on the phone to the school has helped as I've had an email that my son will be doing intervention sessions, so at least I know they'll be putting something on the report. Given me a tiny glimmer of hope again

Hopefully with this “system update” there able to award people quicker😂

hopefully when you call back you go straight through🤞 it is all so draining! 😖

i highly doubt it🙄 surely they would just shut the phone lines rather than have people sat waiting for god knows how long. Can’t cope anymore, gonna rip my hair out

Kc1999x · 25/11/2024 11:20

Just tried ringing universal credit aswell and they have told me to call back in two hours because the system is down. Must be the whole dwp

Kc1999x · 25/11/2024 11:20

Just a heads up to everyone that’s thinking of calling

PollyH3 · 25/11/2024 11:21

@MrsW12 can you remember what questions were on the form they sent to the school? Seems like I'm finally getting somewhere with the senco and the old sen is stepping up to take over again and says she will happily fill the forms out, and if it's just the "someone who knows your child" section like from the application she can download it and I can collect on Wednesday. If they can't find the form I will get her to do that, but I'm guessing the report has actual questions?
