NC - NEW CLAIM
COC - CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
MR - MANDATORY RECONSIDERATION
SD - SCAN DATE

Yes still no decision x

I did press option 4.. she wasn't all that nice.. she was very blunt very quick..
Still with decision maker..and we will text with outcome.

I thought yea we will c.. about a week now..so they say x

Is that COC? X

Just checked and they have said that it’s for a new claim x

Hi is it a new claim or mr

Mine is mr same date is yours

it’s for a new claim x

Just rang and my little ones claim is with the decision maker I’ve asked if can receive a text to let me know and he’s name was Kyle who I spoke to and he was lovely but said that it’s not always possible but he will put a note on today I’ve requested a text but to be prepared I might not get one

Oh that's crazy! Your son clearly as you've stated needs additional help, I really feel for you, I know it's hard I've been here myself but do if you feel strong enough to put in the MR because don't let them away with it, an ECHP itself is a lot of evidence in itself, ultimately it's your choice but if it was me I would most certainly put in a MR, i also do think it depends on the DM a lot of the time too which is wrong, I've also heard ( not sure how true ) that they only get like 1 hour to look through a claim which is not long enough imo just such a long and draining wait. I wish you all the best. Take care x

@Lmtab I wonder if we had the same decision maker mine was very harsh like this too and in reasons for declining were that my sons refusals to walk are because he does not want to walk rather than he cannot walk, he has no diagnosis from health professional (He is on the pathway currently waiting for an appointment for an assessment) no EHCP, IEP or IDP in place (when I clearly stated numerous times throughout the form we are having a meeting with his school next month about an IDP) his night times needs can be prevented with simple aids (but doesn’t say what simple aids I mean if she could let me know so I could get some sleep that be brill 🤣🤣) I’m currently going through MR process xx

I called back, they said it went to decision maker on 9/6 so 5 days today and still no decision he was calling the decision maker an him x well it’s weekend now hopefully we all hear some good news next week x

Decisions been made, on hold now doubt I’m going to get through before 5. Have a feeling it’s a decline feel physically sick!

How long does it normally take to get through on enquires line? I’ve been on hold 10 minutes and it’s 16:38😩

Go through options 2 and ask them to put you through to someone cx

Good luck xx

Good luck!
I’m unsure if to call back to see if the decision has been made yet or wait it to until Monday the wait is draining me 😬

They said no one can take my call and the earliest they can call me back Tuesday so I had to ring though to option 4 x

I’d call back, I had no decision a hour ago it can change very quickly. Thank you! Good luck to you too x

oh no good luck ❤️

Did they text you xx

No text, we was awarded last year but I did a MR, they said I wouldn’t receive a text as I already receive x

Good luck!!!

Still on hold and 5 minutes left, it’s looking like Monday before I find out feel so frustrated as I know they’ll probably cut lines off at 5 x

Just rang and got a decision. SD 27/02. My son has been awarded HRC until September 2028 no mobility as hes under the age of 5. Really wasn’t expecting HRC. Good luck to all of you waiting I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you all x

Omgggggg did u get through xx
