NC SD 22/01

im not calling anymore and took a weekend break from the forums because the anxiety was getting a bit much. I don’t mind waiting so much it’s more the thought of being declined after all the build up that gets to me and last week seeing all the Feb dates coming through was a killer.

good luck everyone still waiting and the best advice I can give is try and call as little as possible as it really is pointless and if you are getting stressed take a little break from the threads xx

I hope they catch up with the mr soon, seems so unfair to have to wait longer than the new claims, would be nice if it was all in order xx

Mommaof2babas · 02/06/2025 09:04

Good luck everyone phoning hopefully some good news!

Did they give you a reason/explanation as to why they've allowed it to run out and not checked it beforehand? Also what's the next step you have to take?

MR 20/11 27weeks 5 days! Rang this morning and is with a decision maker! She said it could still take up to 2 weeks 😩

Londongirl8922 · 02/06/2025 09:21

There should be a online portal where you can check the status of your application once it’s been scanned in, I think it would definitely help everyone’s anxiety

Omg! Thats a pisstake! This is what I ment by moving the goal post each time from 25 weeks to 30!!!

Senmummy1234 · 02/06/2025 09:24

I went through to this other line as claim has run out, apparently a renewal decision maker is looking at it and is aware it has run out and I just have to wait!! Who knows I don’t get it!!!

Hopefully will get a decision by the end of the day 🤞🏼

Sausagedogtoddles · 02/06/2025 09:28

I think its going to be a waste of time but I'm currently on hold, bet they say the wait time is 25 weeks

I pray for you all. Not holding out through as I don’t know what system they use 😂😂😂 if I didn’t get it in on time would have been my fault. Put it in with lots of time and and still not done 😂

Sausagedogtoddles · 02/06/2025 09:43

@Kirstylou91 they said to me, apparently the people that are saying they've been awarded are trolls and it is taking up to 25 weeks. What shit!!

Mum2allgirls · 02/06/2025 09:44

@Sausagedogtoddles why would people troll and say they been awarded and they haven't , I've heard it all now 🤣 what aload of crap 🙈

Senmummy1234 · 02/06/2025 09:49

And there is me my award has ended and still no decision 😂😂😂. I have my other sons to do but I’m not rushing it this time round it makes no difference what so ever

When I was around 20weeks in, people were awarded around the 25week mark. Since then it’s gradually been getting longer and longer! On the last thread someone waited 31weeks for a MR decision! If they’re so behind why are we not all sharing the same decision makers! NC are hearing much quicker and COC are even longer than MRs, it’s crazy how they’re doing it!
