It took 25 mins in the end, that annoying music tone 🤯 he’s put a note of my tracking number incase my claim gets picked up before the evidence gets scanned on, probably still a long wait no doubt but I’m just relieved they have all my evidence now

Oh yeah, that music drives me mad. At least play a few different songs lol

Mine has been done Coc Scan date 21/3/25
phoned up this morning

Wow my COC is SD 24/2 and I called up Friday and was told not with DM. maybe they've whizzed thru them over the weekend haha

Oilytoe90 · 08/09/2025 12:21

ZedKhan · 08/09/2025 12:15

As I expected, they said our COC SD from 24/2 still in a "holding queue" not been looked at by anyone yet and it's week 28.

They are doing them in date order so cannot escalate anything to anyone as they do not give a date

She said I should call back on the 24th of Sept where it will hit 7 months waiting, even then all they can say is still in the holding queue and they are doing them in date order 😔

I'm same SD as u for COC for HRM and im so over it now, it's ridiculous. 🤞 we both hear good news soon

Lion10 · 08/09/2025 12:21

Anyone doing/done a renewal recently and have any advice? Not don't one before x

My advice would be to send in everything that’s still relevant now even if you have sent it in before and because the boxes are so small I printed out and attached the answers to the relevant sheet, I don’t see how we are supposed to fit enough into those small boxes.

Emmy990 · 08/09/2025 13:31

Found out my scan date is actually 04/03 not 11/03 as they scanned it in the date they received but it had not been assigned to anybody yet

Warmlilac · 08/09/2025 14:32

Once you have had a call from DM how soon do you get decision for M/R

xxstac3yxx · 08/09/2025 15:05

Sorry if this is a dumb question! Just got my last extra evidence for my little boy, whats the address I need to send it too? I forgot 🤦🏻‍♀️

Singlemummy17 · 08/09/2025 15:09

Differences are in dates are crazy! I rang today SD 04/03 for COC and it hasn’t even been assigned to anyone!
that being said, Congrats!!! Must be such a weight off! x

No way! Congratulations I’m so happy for you, I see you didn’t get to send in the extra evidence in the end but still received Hrm well done you. You’re the only other April coc on here with me, I called this morning and he said they was working on Feb 🤦‍♀️ did you just ring to find out the decision?

After I asked for the address on here I decided to ring them to get it, and he said no need they have made a decision! I said to him what the man the other day said to me about it being January time when I should hear back! He said he doesn’t know why I was told that because the last time I rang it was with a decision maker, even though they said on the phone it wasn’t!

Did he say when the decision had been made? I’m so happy your child has got what they deserve. I bet you was holding back the tears on the phone. I wonder if mine is actually with a dm cus he asked for the tracking number for my evidence they received today so the dm could call through to get it then said they are working on Feb dates 🤦‍♀️

Thank you! No I didn't, I called as i knew from last week it was with a dm and they said a decision had been made today.

Irongirl71 · 08/09/2025 16:38

I've just called up regarding n/c sd 24th June.

Its not even allocated to anyone and the bs they give on the phone is ridiculous. Saying its in date order. Which i challenged her on. Anyway back to waiting.

I never asked, I should have! And I really was my boys been through so much, I am just happy they have awarded him, it will help him out so much. I am assuming with him saying it was with a dm when I last called, that they made the decision today? Because the last time I called was friday and they said there was no decision and not with a dm. They can’t seem to get there information correct from call to call though.

There's absolutely no way they're in date order

xxstac3yxx · 08/09/2025 18:11

They definitely did reach a decision today Curly, recieved this text not long ago. So things aren’t done in date order, as my SD is 14/04 for COC. Good luck to everyone waiting.
