I’m Jan 31st- called up last week and they said no decision however it was with decision maker and then when I called up on Tuesday they said it’s open not with a decision maker- they are just telling ppl whatever they want to get them off the phone.

wow did she not even check nothing, I would call back and either do option 2 or 4. Not the same has what you just pressed and hopefully someone new will answer.

TashaxJ · 29/05/2025 09:09

If I thought it wouldn’t affect my claim I would make a complaint right now I’ve had enough!! I mean I’ve seen people with Scan Dates of 24/02 get awarded which is almost 7 weeks past my Scan Date it’s an absolute joke. I’m on a war path today 🤣🤣 xx

Mommaof2babas · 29/05/2025 09:09
