MR WON!!!!!

The best Christmas present ever. I can’t tell you how emotional I am right now. Made up for my son. I really thought it was going to be a decline. Thank you so much to this group. To everyone waiting for their decisions hang in there and keep up the fight for your babies. I’m sticking around to share your good news too.

We won it I’m shaking so so happy this torture is over and I can have the best Christmas with my kids x

Thank you so much. We’ve won our MR wasn’t even with a decision maker yesterday I was expecting it to be in the new year. Made up for you too xx

I'm all emotional, honestly congratulations you have fought so hard and it's so deserved ❤️ ahhhhhh can't believe we'll done you 💪💪💪

Thank you so much can’t believe we won it. I really hope you win yours too x

Amazing hun we made it through Christmas!!!

I know I was fully expecting it to be next year! It wasn’t even assigned yesterday. Merry Christmas I can’t think of a better present x

Hoping to see lots more positive decisions today. Good luck guys 🤞🤞

Honestly so made up for all of the awards over Christmas and the wait for all of us is finally over bet your dead chuffed xx

Shouldn't have called, the guy read a script off, it's not with a DM, it's up to 25 weeks, I don't need to call 😫 on to next week now. It's worse the closer it gets the wait is killing me 🤦🏼‍♀️

23/7 coc 22 weeks tomorrow
Yesterday was in a queue
Today it's finally with the dm
Most probably wont no until they are back in work but it's moved on so that's something

Congratulations xx

Call back! They said exactly the same to me and I called back and got through to a lovely lady. Keeping fingers crossed for you xx

Ohh amazing! Congrats! I’m so pleased you got to hear just in time for Christmas!

That’s what they said to me yesterday so you could well have a decision when they open on 28th. I agree I was hoping they’d wrap up all waiting from July and on to August for the new year

Thank you. I’m in disbelief. I was all set to take them to tribunal. The call handed on option 4 was so lovely and wished us a Merry Christmas too 😭

YOU GUYS IM CRYING! I'm so happy right now I just called up and selected option 4, was put through to a really lovely call handler & been told and my son's been awarded mrc and Lrm I so thought we'd get a decline with him being home educated and not having much parer evidence but I'm so so happy for him 🙏🏻 this was the best Christmas present we could have gotten! I can finally breathe! I hope you all receive good news soon too!!!

NC 07/08

Good luck. Hope they give you a decision soon 🤞

Congratulations on your award 🎉

Congratulations on your award sooo happy for your child and you. Merry Christmas 🎉🎉🎉

So good to see so many awards this morning
Good luck to everyone waiting hang in there looks like they moving through Aug quiet fast x

The bloke was so disinterested, I just didn't have enough the energy to ask any questions just let him finish his "speech" then said bye 🙄 between dla and UC just fed up with call and being told BS. I'm going to enjoy christmas and maybe call next week
