I'm so sorry you've been declined! Makes you wonder if they've read through the forms properly!

Have you called, closely watching you being the same date lol

No not called, I'm currently waiting on a letter coming which if it does in time I'll be sending as referral proof so I get an excuse to ring without asking for an update, I've only rang that once for an update Wednesday, didn't want to annoy them lol x

Boymama831 · 30/05/2025 12:10

I must b the only one who rings every day 🤣 they do actually know I have rang at times as when in main queue they said no change from last time you called. MR has been with decision maker 10days today. Yesterday I got a grumpy one who said 11weeks once with the decision maker and today the guy said usually 2weeks.

I’m hoping that some case workers have been off this week ( booked leave for kids holidays) and they get through them quicker next couple weeks xx
