I’m just over 24weeks but it seems everyone around my scan date has been awarded. I’ve sent in loads of evidence I just hope they read it all.

It feels like we’ve been waiting on here together forever!!!! Hopefully we won’t be waiting for to much longer 🤞

Me too! When I call they say “oh yes you are the lady that sent 38pages of evidence” 🤣🤣🤣 x

Mine 10th of July and been with a DC for over 2 weeks at the min not really giving me much information just to wait

🤞🏻🤞🏻 we wont be much longer. I dont think people(who arent waiting) realise just how stressful the wait actually is, its not just money but a life line for support and therapeutic support

I know they contacted my aunties kids school as they referred him for autism and majority of her evidence was from school X

I'm still waiting as well, 27 weeks now. I called this afternoon and was told its still in the holding queue and I should have a decision by 20th October, which ive never had before, he also said they are taking around 30 weeks, but whether that is right or not is anyone's guess, I get told different things each time I call

MR 21/03 - 27 weeks tomorrow

I’ve been calling probably once a week - to check extra evidence has been received and to check the progress of the claim. As of today, still not assigned to a case worker.

What’s the difference between holding queue and waiting to be allocated to a dm? It’s the first time they’ve actually told me anything today they usually say they can’t tell me information for a COC

I guess we have another 11 weeks then if taking 30 weeks :-/

Just called up nc 24th June. Absolutely nothing. Its shocking that they claim its in date order. It Absolutely is not

Im march 17th called today still in que

Hi sorry me again. Phoned again to double check that the first lady was telling the truth and apparently my sons coc went to a dm on the 22nd September x

What’s your scan date?

7th may coc

I didn’t realise they was getting to May, are you doing a COC for just mobility or care aswell?

Just motability x

First may I have seen, mine is 6/5 so I’ll call tomorrow to see if there’s any update X

They really are all over the place with COC claims 😵‍💫 from 20/3 onwards they seemed to be getting decisions at 21 weeks I wonder if that has carried on but they’ve missed me out, I have a feeling they’ve called the paediatrician for my claim and that’s what the delay is. Good luck with your decision, keep us updated if you hear anything ☺️

I think if you and kitty receive a decision next week then they must have carried on with making decisions at 21 weeks and there is a delay with mine somewhere, they’ve mentioned the paediatrician a few times when I’ve called so I don’t know if they have either contacted her or waited for my paediatrician report and it’s caused a delay. Keep us posted 🤞good luck

I will be calling them next fri (20wks coc for both) to check they recieved extra evidence ...will update when I spk to them

Yes please do it’s helpful to know where they are up to with COC claims and how others are getting on, hopefully we all get the right award for our kiddies 😂 at this point I think everyone in May will be done before me.

Its frustrating
Im hoping I have sent enough evidence but who knows... I have sent three lots now of extra evidence and I only just fitted the first lot of evidence in the envelope with taping all the sides lol

My sis been with DM over 4 weeks now 20/6 still nothing

After advice. If I send in evidence of new medication do I send it to the same address I sent the form, also how to I make sure it gets put with my claim form because it could end up sat in different piles at different people's desks?
