MR 22/07 in northern irelans which are apparently taking around 15 weeks here so hopefully not much longer for me. Ive said it before but ive no idea hoe you guys on the mainland cope woth such horrendous waiting times, im losing my mind 😂

I think you may have put the wrong scan date. Im 15 weeks soon for coc, and the thought of it being another 10-15 weeks is so draining 😞

Has anyone sent in a walking diary? And a sleep diary?

I did 😂 its 22/04

NC , SD was 01/04

I rang last week and was told wasn’t with a decision maker but back pay went in that night at midnight. MRC for my 2 year old, suspected ASD, global development delay and sensory processing disorder.

so either they’re fobbing people off on the phone or they made my decision mega quick but don’t think back pay would go in that quick. Also got my letter on the Thursday 2 days after the backpay which seemed quick.

so don’t be disheartened if they say it’s not with a dm as it could be x
