Been on hold for 20 mins now definitely better to phone at 9am on the dot I got through straight away didn’t even get a dial tone xx

@TashaxJ i don’t blame you calling back youre early Jan! I am 22/01 and I am so fed up! I rang yesterday and said I’m seeing dates a month after me go through but they wasn’t bothered just kept saying they’ve got 25 weeks. Maybe we’ve got the same case manager. Although every time I call I get told different things about whether it’s even with a DM or not!

So when they say “your claim is open “ what is it they actually mean because they don’t like to explain themselves

I think it means not allocated yet x

TashaxJ · 29/05/2025 09:59

@Lmtab I am the only early Jan that I know of from these groups it’s a joke. Really getting under my skin now lol xx

Did they say it was with decision maker, tbh they are just telling us anything

I don't think it's even worth phoning tbh as they just tell you anything to get you off the phone. About 5 weeks ago I was told my case was with a decision maker and I should hear very soon. Last week I called again and was told it was in a holding pot to go to a decision maker and should hear by 6 June. Currently on 28 weeks MR

Londongirl8922 · 29/05/2025 10:11

12 weeks tomorrow for my SD but I know I’m in for a long wait …I’ve called once so far and that’s all I’m going to do now…does anyone know how I go about sending extra evidence in please

TashaxJ · 29/05/2025 10:13

I’ve just got off the phone to a lovely lady she looked on the system and she said my claim actually went to a decision maker on 02/05 not 09/05 so she emailed him for me to chase it up as to why it’s taking so long. Definitely glad I phoned back xx
