Okay thats fine. I just wanted to know as ive seen a couple of dates after my scan date been awarded. I did ask if it was with a DM and he said not yet!

My scan dates for my twins are 24th and 25th June abd when I called on Thursday they told me it had been moved to the twin que. I dont believe them as they told me it would be in the twin que on 26th June when they called me to verify the twins. So mine has been waiting to be picked up for a while.

That’s fantastic. So glad you got the award you wanted for your child. I’m mobility only COC with SD of 12/05 but am yet to hear anything.

Have you called recently?

I wonder if your decision has been made if the other person is after your scan date and just changed the mobility too?

I’m honestly too scared to know 😂. We’ve gone for HRM under VUW rules. Shes 3 and a half. Autistic with GDD. I’ve sent as much evidence as I had and two walking diaries but I just know it will be declined!

Hopefully not, hopefully you get the right award. You sound like me, Ive put in everything I have to prove my daughter should get HRC and HRM, there is nothing more I can send, but it’s the not knowing that puts doubts in our heads 😵‍💫

Fingers crossed for us both! I’ve applied for a blue badge for her too. Not sure how long that takes

Thats not good at all! Wonder why its taking so long for your twins NC to get done! I really hope they get done soon for you. I am going to ring back in a couple of weeks if i havent heard anything. Let me know as soon as you hear something!

I didnt get a phone call with my oldest daughters. But my cousin got a phone call just before she was awarded.

Hopefully some good news soon 🤞 When I applied for a blue badge for my daughter it took 2 weeks for a decision then about 10 days for the blue badge to come, but i suppose it depends on councils and how quickly they work

I think they very rarely ring tbh. My MR was just awarded and they didnt ring me, but my friends coc a few minths ago DM rang her.

I am hoping to get awarded for my MR as it was a straight decline. I was waiting on evidence for a while and school was not helping me. However since i got a disability worker they are more than happy to help now! I will keep you updated as i go along. Thank you! X
