29/1 but in I’m Northern Ireland though I think it’s a bit quicker here usually, not the norm to even wait so long x

Wait times seem a bit quicker down there, have you called up since it being with a DM to see if they’ve decided? I’ve seen a couple people in previous threads also saying there’s had been with a DM weeks x

Gemini000 · 03/06/2025 15:56

Congratulations all

Boymama831 · 03/06/2025 16:02

I ring them every day lol no harm asking😂 I’m prob slowing it down them making a decision. They all say something diff so never sure how long it usually takes. It’s driving me nuts now because I’d asked them to contact school and they didn’t. He got awarded MRC but due to the fact he’s up from 3.30am bouncing off the walls and I have stayed at school the whole year with him due to them not able to meet his needs and his extreme separation anxiety I put in MR but I feel sick thinking about it incase they give less or take award away completely.x
