of course! i’m getting so impatient now🤣 we were hoping it would be quicker, when we first applied they said 16 weeks and it was only 12+3 but seems its taking longer than what they say this time xxx

Ahhh yes I so agree! I think I’m more nervous and impatient this time around with a COC than I was with a NC 😫 I was 16+2 with the NC, 19 weeks today and I feel like it’s another 5-6 if not more xx

I’m 20/11 MR, they seem to be still looking at October dates although I saw on Facebook yesterday someone was awarded with either 08/09 November date! Hopefully just another couple of weeks wait 🤞

Have you tried calling back at choosing option 4? When i had my renewal decision he put me through to someone who could tell me!

Motheroffour4 · 01/05/2025 10:35

Called back fibbed and said I was just about to be told and it cut off and they told me over phone they rejected it again even though they had up to date medical reports from my sons paediatric epilepsy specialist etc I’m livid they told me I have to wait for letter and request to take it to tribunal that it will go back to dLA to see if they would change it again if not goes to court I’m in a process of nearly a year now I’m so stressed out I can’t even tell you

NC 31/12/24

So tempted to ring, but think I will hold out until next week as I think that’s more realistic.

Hello! I'm NC with S/D of 31/12 too! :D I was toying wjth ringing today 🙄 the wait is killing me ha.
My sister was NC S/D of 17/12 and she's received her award last week so I've been impatient since! Ha

staybyyou · 01/05/2025 12:12

Let me know what they say if you do phone @WaryPoet

Im going to try and hold off until Tuesday next week. It’s so hard though!

MrsB113 · 01/05/2025 12:14

I've just called to update some information and the lady I spoke with was unable to access the system. She couldn't see anything related to my child's claim. Not sure if it's just me or if there is an issue with the systems today.

WaryPoet · 01/05/2025 12:26

When we ring on option 4, is that the pip line?

Mummyof4children · 01/05/2025 12:29

What sort of claim is yours? Can I suggest that you call back, maybe there is a system error but I’ve also seen someone in a previous post say there claim had been closed, just to be on the safe side so you know what’s going on

staybyyou · 01/05/2025 12:40

@WaryPoetjust seen someone on FB be awarded from the 31/12, now I want to phone!!!

I'm on hold currently! I got through but the computer died so they hung up and I've just rung back. But 13 minutes on hold for this time of day is cracking. Hoping it's a good omen! I'll let you know how I get on... but maybe you should!
