currently we are in July/August for decisions! xx

You might be next week 17/07 MRs been worked on. One here 18/07 with a DM. Mine is 06/08 so no chance and if it’s bad news I want it after Christmas 🙃

Oh do we not get a text?

Yeah I’m starting to feel that way too, if bad news might be best to sort after Xmas. Honestly it’s like lucky dip. Good luck and I hope yours is sorted before Xmas. 🎄 ☺️ xx

With the kids at home, I’d rather not be in a bad mood and stressing over a tribunal so I would now prefer to hear after as there’s no guarantee of a good outcome. I think with your date there’s a good chance of hearing next week. They’ve spent all of December so far on July claims, pretty shocking

this month has been horrendous I think we’ve seen 2/3 August claims get done still a few In July waiting for nc and mrs fingers crossed for everyone this week! Xx

Seems to be a fair few with a DM which is good 🤞

Ah okay x hopefully we hear something before Xmas xx

Thank you

So tempted to call again😂

Ring it wont hurt 😂

I'm hoping they go through all of July before they close then January can be for August claims 😂

Yeah fingers crossed been a slow month there probably on go slow ready for Christmas (all year round 🤣🤣) I’m gunna phone Wednesday possibly if not Thursday see what they say then forget about it till new year x

I might uno😂 for all I know my sons could be top of that decision makers pile this morning

Anyone else waiting on a decision for a new claim in July? I’m 26/07, still no decision but was told on Friday it’s with a decision maker. 20 + 3 days today x

Mines with a DM too. It's killing me 😭

It’s horrible cause we could be top of the pile or bottom😬😬 I just want to know😂

WHERE AM I!!! 😂 I think I preferred it when they just told me not assigned at least I knew where I stood

12/08 still in a holding queue

How long are cases usually with DM ? I know they say it can be a couple of weeks but is that true?

So before mine rang me I rang in a morning to get an update they said it’s with a dm and then the dm
rang me the same day so can literally vary a few hours to a few days I think xx

I am x

This!! However I’d be fuming if it wasn’t assigned today 😂😂

I will keep you updated. 🥴🤞🏻

I was wondering that too. I'm going to want to ring everyday at this rate

You still none the wiser hun 😬
