With me she said we are not really allowed to say but yes it’s with a DM and will have a decision very soon. She said could be made today or next week as he has up until 29th to make the decision as that’s 20 weeks.

When done the form was in last year at primary and asked if he was in his secondary school. Then I said is it with a DM and they said yeah should get an answer very soon but could take the full week til next Friday (20 weeks) or could be done today. They also do make decisions on weekends but obviously can’t ring to check xx

Thank you! And good luck! Fingers crossed it’s good news 🤞🏼 xx

Ceb2018 · 22/11/2024 10:26

@Carson2504 same! I was so unbothered about ringing I was just telling my self I would wait until the 29th. I phoned to double check they had all the information I sent and then she told me it was with the DM. I hope you find out today! Fingers crossed

When did they tell you was with DM? I was just told this morning but she couldn’t tell me when it was to DM. Said not allowed! But said would have a decision very soon.. I may call at 4pm or so and see if there’s a decision. If not I’ll prob just wait it out as at work Monday Tuesday and don’t get in til nearly 5 xx

@Carson2504 yesterday around lunch time she said it had just been sent to DM but they say so many different things I never know what to believe but because I’ve seen awards for the 12th I thought well it would make sense if it had gone to a DM as we only have until the 29th until we land on 20 weeks! This last week is actually the worse

I will call next week to see if they’ve changed the scan date. On one system it shows as 06/08 which is correct and on DMs one it was showing as 14/08 no idea why but with wait times as they are I want to ensure it’s been amended

Yeah it feels a lifetime now. Obsessed with these threads and seeing everyone’s decisions. Hopefully it’s our turn. I’ve seen loads for the 12/07 been done. Give them a ring. You never know decision could have been made now xxx

Fingers crossed for you. I know they are doing 12/07 at moment. Seen a lot of awards for this date but still a few of us waiting for decision. Xxx

Tashanddaryn · 22/11/2024 10:49

Scan date 4/7 coc and still no decision over the 20 weeks now

Kc1999x · 22/11/2024 10:48

Have you heard anything?

Nope. I’m going to ‘try’ to not call until Thursday so they can’t pull the “wait until 20 weeks” card 😂 last phone call I had the man pretty much confirmed it is genuinely a 25 week wait. But given the fact they all say different, I’m going to try my luck at 20 weeks anyway!

There was someone further up with scan date 23/07 that’s been awarded. Definitely not taking 20-25weeks🙄 I think we have the slow decision maker😂 I’m 18/07 so a week behind you

Kc1999x · 22/11/2024 11:03

Mum21056 · 22/11/2024 11:17

I rang at bang on18 weeks to add some info to mine cause I’d sent extra evidence, mines 15/07 nc sd, im really hoping to hear soon it’s draining now. Only this last week have I obsessed over something so out of my control, I think if it wasn’t such a long wait it wouldn’t be as much on the mind as it is
