Good luck

19/3 and 26/3 nc here. It's stressful seeing dates close to yours 🙈 I keep checking my phone for texts an jumping at calls incase. I've still got a week or so yet 14 weeks tomorrow argh. Most awards are 15/16 weeks

MrsBoo8888 · 24/06/2025 13:19

FB MR, I've never seen one done so quick

Had a missed call today , called them back and they said a decision has been made on my MR - SD 31.3.25. Wouldn’t tell me over the phone. I called back asking when my next payment will be and for how much and was told I’ve been awarded HRC HRM today. So happy. No idea why they even looked at my MR yet but I’m very happy
