How long did your mr took.i am in 15 weeks 4 days should i call for an update

Mine took 28 weeks and 5 days! Unfortunately I think you’ve still got a long wait ahead! Hopefully they’ll start getting through them quicker and you won’t have to wait as long as I did 🤞

Tbh it’s made me worse knowing it’s with a decision maker, has now I can’t get it out my head. At first they wouldn’t tell me when it went, then I got told it got sent to him on 9/6. This morning still in dm que and can’t say how long this will take 😭 with my other child it always been just a couple days with dm so I’m starting to get more worried it’s going to be declined xx

hiya love
scan date is 01/04 ,.....11w tomorrow , new claim for lifelong disease sadly
sent bc off wednesday, phone handler said it can take up to 2 weeks to upload on to the system and to ring back next week which I will do first thing in the morning when back from school run but if i get it back in the post this week, then i know for sure they will have got it. when i told them the other stuff i sent (prescription, clinical letter, consultant report with diagnosis)

please keep me posted, when did they recieve it literally 2 days after
i sent it back in the envelope they gave me which had a free postage 2nd class stamp on, i would have sent it signed but my husband said they wanted that specific envelope sent back so they know its directly from us.

I recieved mine back 2 days after I sent it, they also sent it back to me signed delivery. I sent it off in the envelope they sent us but just took it to the post office and asked them to do it recorded.

I called last Thursday and they said it was all scanned onto the system and In a que
