July 16th mr done today. I’m feeling positive and thinking maybe I’ll have an outcome next week🤞🏽🤞🏽

New claim 06/08 awarded on Wednesday. It looks like the Facebook group is just catching up with posts for the day. End of july/ early August new claims youse are all next!!!

Hi new waiting friend 🤣 I really hope it's early Jan but I know they saying end Feb 😫

When’s your scan date

Hi love think i replied to wrong post if I replied to yours , my sd is 9/9/24 in for the long run 😅

Yes I think we are likely to be towards the end of Feb. Hopefully it's sooner.

no My bad I reply to most on here anyways lol😂 if you’re responding to a particular person you’re better off clicking on “quote” and it’ll attach their post to yours if that makes sense. And never say never someone had theirs done from like October. DLA work in weird ways

I've been watching these threads for weeks but never wrote on them. My scan date is 06/08 and my son was awarded this week 😊 apparently it was a very straight forward claim as the evidence i had was good. My son has been awarded hrc and lrm. I had a universal credit appointment call this morning, so I asked what I needed to declare etc. She went through it on the phone with me, an hour later someone else called to say they have issued a backpayment today for carers element and disability child payment too!! All within an hour. 😊
Hopefully this gives everyone some hope 😊 x

Would be great to hear. I’m really hoping the new timeframe of 35 weeks given to some of the members isn’t right

Wish it was a MR 06/08!! 😆

That would be great. I’m rooting for you and your boy 🤞🤞

M/R 26/7 and still no progress. Not even with DM according to my phone call today. I really don’t get it. 🥴

You can’t be far off. I think they’ll get all Julys done before Christmas shut down and then August when they reopen well that’s what I’m hoping for

I really hope so. 🤞🏻

Congratulations to our newest awards. I hope tomorrow brings more good news

Sd 26th july!! (Not December)🙈🤣 and finally got to speak to someone this evening who confirmed HRC & LRM

🙏 that the rest of u guys still waiting for decisions with the same sd hear soon.

Aww that’s great news congratulations x
Give us in Aug abit of hope SD 12/8

Tbf I reckon that person misheard 25 for 35 and panicked because everyone else has been told 25

Routing for you also! I think you’ll be sooner than you think

I’m 18/07 and not with a decision maker yet. I feel you😂

Congrats!!!

go you!!! Congrats

Please update us when you hear anything. It seems us July ones are causing all the problems 😂

It was one of the things I would’ve asked had they called today. Will find out on Monday what happened to the call

Fingers crossed. Goodness me August seems like a lifetime away. This has been a hell of a learning curve!
