My SD was 31/07. Got the text to say my child qualifies last Thursday. So 🤞🏼 for you this week!

That's great!! 😃

If my little one was at school I’d be calling every hour😂

It’s rather quiet over on Facebook this morning

I dunno what I should call again 🙈🙈 it’s already with a dm and evidence is there not hopefully it’s looked at today but depending if she’s on other claims might take a while again x

Haha! You should get a text or told your son's been awarded, in the next few days!

I just called again. Mine with DM too sd02/08. Woman more bothered about her feeling poorly than helping. No decision yet 🥺

I don’t think I’ll get a text as it is a MR.

Definitely this week for a decision🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

It’s like they can’t be bothered with the run up to Christmas

I seriously hope so probably call back Wednesday and see if there is anything on the system yet the end is in sight hun! Xx

9th august was done Friday x

Very true and so ignorant. I feel for you hon. I'm not coping at nearly 20 weeks it makes you feel ill with anxiety x

I’m routing for you and your child!

Yes the person I spoke to couldn’t be arsed I could tell but it was short and sweet. Cheered me up that mines finally been allocated🤞🏽 nearly at 22weeks, so not been waiting much longer than you! Hopefully you have a decision soon

And you! Finally with a dm fingers crossed we’re both this week! 🤞🤞

I think you could say you don’t want to proceed with the change. You are the same scan date as me but mine is a MR. January 28th is the latest I’ve been told I would have a decision by but I think it’ll be around first to second week of January hopefully

I’m sure you’ll both hear this week. July has been horrendous

PIP MRs are only taking 15 weeks and so far haven’t increased their timeframes 🤞

Just called. With a decision maker... Hopefully getting somewhere 🎉 so nice to have a different conversation at least

I think that too but with only 3 days of closure it’ll all be waiting on their return

Congratulations I’m SD 12/8 gives me a little hope x

SC 26/7 MR - rang this Morning and it’s still not even with DM. Think I may miss it being sorted for Xmas. Fantastic news for everyone getting good results ☺️🎉 xx

Oh sorry I ment a claim was done for the 9th on fb. I’m 12/08 same as you x

Nope she stated only that it could’ve been escalated due to financial hardship only if their awards were lowered which doesn’t apply to mine
