@Lifeiswhatyoumakeit9124 just phoned, lady said it's still with a dm and to phone back Friday should have a decision by then, if not it'll be done on friday/over the weekend definitely before Monday! She sounded quite positive! Are you calling today?x

I'm.19.02.. I don't no what to say when I phone ..coz they seem to just fob me off xx

I’d ring xxxx

Gd luck xxxx

Good luck x

Gd luck 💛

@Mum2allgirls Are you calling today xx

What did u say.. I don't think I'm.pushy enough x

Just called aswell , been told it is with DM and will have decision by the end date... so pretty much same as what you were told. I will call again Friday xx

So I just rang back again as I feel I got fobbed off earlier and made a point of asking if i could please speak to someone who actually knows whats going on as ive been told different things. She said I have been assigned a decision maker as her name is there and looked in it but no decision has been made yet she said it can take up to 2 weeks but I should know soon 🤞 x

Ah good! Glad yours is now with a dm aswell! Hopefully we'll both have our decisions Friday! Then no worrying over the weekend!x

I'll call again Friday but ill keep you updated aswell xx

@Kirstylou91 congrats so happy for you, ❤️

Been on hold 25 mins feel physically sick x

MR 02/12, told me no point in calling back for another few weeks as no progress really and still on dates 21/22nd November. 26 weeks and 2 days today kind of looking around 29 weeks now really🙄 x

Fingers crossed for you all xx

Yeah I rang at 9 and was told the same thing working on 22nd November. Was told to call back next week to see where we are with dates. Was told should have a decision within the next week or 2. Sent final evidence of EHCP today so kind of grateful for the delay. Even though it’s stressing me MR 03/12 originally awarded HRC but trying to get HRM under SMI SO FINGERS CROSSED X Hope you hear something soon x

I’m trying to get HRM under smi too, what evidence have you sent in?

Congratulations to everyone been awarded. Can’t stop the fight for our babies 🩷
