MR update. DM phoned this morning as I needed to give school permission to discuss my son. Just waiting on him to phone school again and can make a decision. Just hope it's done before Friday

Boymumma97 · 16/07/2025 10:14

I rang up sd 19th March and she said some details with names didn't match she's corrected it and will now process the claim does that mean the sd has changed to today or is it still same im confused🫣🫣

This is positive! At least you know it is definitely with a DM did you ask about any time scale for them to decide. Fingers crossed! What date was you again as I think you are around same as me? I am 13th Jan x

Scc1991 · 16/07/2025 10:48

I didn't ask too much to be honest as I was on the school run as he phoned but I recognised the number and knew I had to answer it. He said he didn't need anything from me just to speak to the school which he will contact today or tomorrow. So hopefully once he speaks to them he can make a decision. My scan date was 14/01 so hopefully yours is in the process also

There has been someone with a scan date of 10/1 for coc awarded this morning, it’s such a long wait 😣

Ecgx · 16/07/2025 11:06

I wonder why that is, that seems an odd request I’ve not seen before. I’ve heard of them asking for child’s birth certificate I did that originally but not the parents marriage cert and passport. So you have to wait for them to recieve that now?

The backdated payment came through just after midnight. Pleased is an understatement. Thank you God.

This will be going towards her shoes, her travel, her holidays her days out and so much more.
Scan date 01/04
I called the forms mid Feb after her surgery and diagnosis. This little girl has been through so much I'm so happy.

Did they call you or contact school or anything? My scan date is 2/4 and yesterday when I called it’s still with DM. Has been since 10/7

congratulations on your award amazing news xx

i got no text or no letter, nothing just a suprise this morining after midnight. I dont know who they called. My dc doesnt attend school as shes only just 4, but they might have phoned her consultant and surgeon, but maybe the evidence from all the hopsitals and clinics were suffice. I still cant believe it. Im planning now for beach trips, zoo, shopping trips, double buggy and so much more,.

Wish everyone the best. im just so pleased and relieved it was over with at 15w +1

I was 26 weeks yesterday and a DM phoned me today as needed to give school authorisation to speak about my son so they seem to be running over the 25 week mark
