I don’t even have a bank where I can see payments pending that would have been nice. I’m going to wait till Wed before calling looks like we should hear by end of the week going by some posts and dates of others 😭

Yeah I called up said the same, don’t need to do anything blah blah blah. It’s such a long wait of course we are calling so often as we anxious to know what’s going on. I don’t want to call up and they tell me they can’t tell me over the phone il feel more sick about it.

hopefully my last thread too! I called up Friday and they said basically there is no time frame now and to just wait, mine was still in a queue so I guess nowhere close to getting a decision? xx

Oh wow😳 My son’s MR is 26/02 and I was hoping we’d hear back by the end of July, I guess not then!

My daughter’s claim ends today. I called last Wednesday and Friday and no decision had been made yet. Hopefully by tomorrow I’ll receive some sort of update. Good luck everyone🤞

Chloedan98 · 20/07/2025 17:40

I've just recieved text today saying we've made a decision I'm so nervous I feel like its going to be a decline I've seen others get texts saying we've decided your child qualifies

Loz21biu · 20/07/2025 17:51

@Chloedan98 what was your SD - fingers crossed!!!

Chloedan98 · 20/07/2025 17:56

Loz21biu · 20/07/2025 17:51

@Chloedan98 what was your SD - fingers crossed!!!

LMIAE · 20/07/2025 18:14

NC SD 11/04

hoping I’m not here for the long haul 🤣🫠

Loz21biu · 20/07/2025 18:17

@Chloedan98 make sure you let us know! Fingers crossed - I bet it will be fine! Annoying the stress these forms and waiting times give us though. Thinking of you!!

Curlycookie5 · 20/07/2025 18:19

Chloedan98 · 20/07/2025 17:56

Amazing news for a Sunday. I hope you get the award you was hoping for. It seems the wait times are coming down slowly. Did you do a COC for just mobility or both?

I wasn't expecting a text for at least another 5 weeks especially on a Sunday and just for mobility my son is 3 and a bit so trying to get HRM he is unable to walk just worried incase I havent sent enough evidence it was that long ago i can't even remember what I sent in now

Yes I will let you know and I know dont know why they can't just tell us on text if he qualifies its more stress that there is different texts so makes you think its a decline

LocoCoco13 · 20/07/2025 19:40
