Hoping that you hear soon :)

How long are peoples claims with DM for feel like mines the last one in January at the moment NC

🤞 you get a text soon!

Think I’m not gonna phone till Friday PM now it’s frustrating seeing claims months after mine being awarded (happy for them of course) it’s not even a complicated one

I hope it gets looked at and sorted for you xx

Thank you

No the 26/3 isn't with anyone yet. The 19/3 one took 14 weeks 3 days for a decision. It was a , on the notes they didn't even bother contacting his school. They just said there's no medical evidence then went onto the next claim. I sent his jades pathway acceptance letter with along with his reduced timetable from school with my other sons BC that they requested. That's why it was with my others sons claim. Hopefully they will look at it properly now. I asked him tonput a note on the email asking them to also contact my sons school for verification as his on a reduced time table and is in special Ed class most of the time due to getting over stimulated.

Oh ok. Hopefully all will be sorted by the end of next week.🤞

I want to try as well to write my mp and dont know how to procede

Does anyone know the wait time for coc? Seen people write 25+ weeks but ive just got a letter saying its taking 11 weeks.

NC SD 20/03 - declined yesterday. One of the reasons was because my son is polite! I then asked to do a MR and they said I had to wait until I got my letter. So thats me in for the long haul. There are things that have been said in their statement of reasons that completely contradict what I have written. Its like they havent read the form at all.

Where in the UK are you? Its quicker in northern ireland compared to the rest of uk

Im in Newcastle 🤔

Too polite?! How ridiculous. Did you send in a lot of evidence?

Not really - only had his ASD report but they have ignored things I said in my forms. He has been referred to a sleep clinic now so at least I will have more evidence to send with my MR

hi I phoned this afternoon noon , they told me they had made a decision on the 30th May… I spoke to a case worker and he said they could tell me as they was locked out as they’re finalising it. He told me he couldn’t say if she was awarded or not but to check the bank in 3-5 days if nothings there than most likely she hasn’t. It seems strange it’s been a whole month? But he did say it’s normal and there’s lots of stages to go through. Has anyone else had this ? They received it end of February

Oh I’m sorry that’s so frustrating. I’m the same scan date - 20/3 and the only thing I sent in was his ADHD referral. I’m not feeling too optimistic. Don’t know whether to call tomorrow.

Worth a call. If it is a no then at least you know and if its positive than thats even better :) good luck!!!

This is the letter I recieved today for coc

Someone with 27th Dec MR SD awarded today on Facebook

I received that letter first then another letter saying 15 weeks a few weeks later. I’m 12 weeks into a COC

Hi ladies, can anyone help, my son receives DLA middle rate since then he has had an echp and an supporting letter from his portage worker, is it worth putting in a coc as he has now seen the pedtrtion aswell. Thanks x

I dont think they do even read the forms, they just skim through the evidence. MRs were introduced so that when they decline them (or give the wrong awards) once they then decline the MR (which something like 70% of people wont succed with an MR) the claimant will be drained and not bring it to tribunal because something like 80% win at tribunal. That was there whole point in introducing MRs and I think its absolutely disgusting and shouldn't be allowed at all
