No i know it's awful! But how do they make such a mistake to say you owe that much money😐 its so bad and yeah I think i will I'm going to wait it out till about 2ish then if I don't hear anything I'll phone them then, rather get it done before the kids are back from school so I can actually hear them😂x

I just phoned and they said oh just leave a journal message...

I ended up phoning aswell they said they would leave a message on my account for the payment team and as soon as I got off the phone there was a message on my journal saying they've looked at it and it's still with a dm and there's no time frame and to just wait for a decision! I thought it was very coincidental that it was the exact second I put the phone down a message came up literally to the second! I wonder how long they'll keep us waiting!

They answered the phone quick as well, are they feeling okay? lol 😂

the woman was lovely, gone from MRC to HRC as I thought, reward extended until 2033 she said I can bin the renewal forms and relax! Hopefully yours gets seen before renewal as well, fingers crossed for you.

well not much relaxing in this house I must say, but at least that’s one thing I can remove off my long to do list 😅😂

Wow a 7 year award aswell that’s amazing! I hope I get something like that I’m so fed up of filling forms out and waiting for decisions. I was thinking I would get a decision about October time but you have given me abit of hope it may get done in 3 weeks time now, well here’s to hoping 😂

Any Feb/early March dates still out there? I’m SD 13/03 and getting more and more nervous seeing Facebook posts after our SD.

Im worried it’s going to be a decline. I sent loads of evidence. DS has a diagnosis of autism and dyspraxia, but the diagnosis for dyspraxia was only in May and the paediatrician still hasn’t signed off the report so it hasn’t yet been sent to me. I did ring them a couple of weeks ago and the person on the phone wrote a note on my claim of the new diagnosis and I also sent a copy of the melatonin prescription given at the same appointment, but I only sent that this week so it may have been too late :( I darent ring!

06/03 here. still waiting. getting more impatient but I have to remind myself that some are waiting longer than us. Hopefully we'll get decisions and hopefully a good one too. Good luck to everyone waiting and Congratulations to everyone awarded xx

Sunflower1650 · 27/06/2025 14:23

I’m currently on hold waiting for someone to answer! My son’s dyspraxia diagnosis report has arrived on email today. I want to know if I’ve still got time to send it in especially as it’s £5.50 each time for recorded delivery, or if it’s already with a decision maker eek - NC SD 13/03

Super quick, 10 weeks!!!.
So so pleased for my child especially as I made a claim a year ago and both that claim and my MR were declined. Decided to reapply and just wow.

Good luck everyone
