Thank you, I will do that today

Morning all! Has anyone had any recent MR decisions or contact from a DM... wondering where we are at, date wise.

Okay thank you I phoned last Monday too and they said it’s been sent to get a ni number and they couldn’t find my sons claim initially either they had to get someone else to find it. Then they gave me a temporary reference number beginning with CL1 so it’s easier to chase when I phone up.
Fingers crossed their decision goes the way we want to 🤞

Have you heard anything about your renewal yet? X

Hey no still nuffin I seen ppl with date after 14th bin done have you? I’m scard to ring again xx

I'm too scared to ring too that's why I asked you if you'd heard 😂! Xx

😂 I am going to ring Friday because I got to update my number so good excuse to ring 😂 then I’ll just say by the way is there any update with my renewal xx

I feel like I’ve been on here forever too, I waited for my son’s renewal before this COC and it’s nearly 7 months waiting for this. Hopefully it won’t go much over 30 weeks 🤞 it’s this long wait stressing us out because we could be waiting all this time to get a negative decision, hopefully not but it’s always a possibility 😞

Have you called this week or you waiting til next week ? (Sure you said u wasn't cos its your half term)

Morning guys. Can somebody help me. I’ve woken up to a payment in my bank this morning of £927.90 from dla. I posted my forms on the 19th August. Scan date was 22nd August. Could anybody work out the rates please x

No I’ve not called this week I’m going to wait til Tuesday when I will be 30weeks but the person the day after me called yesterday and theirs hasn’t been assigned to anyone yet and there is someone 5 days before me still waiting.

Congratulations it’s 9 weeks of MRC and LRM

I gave in and rang, they've done the decision and i asked to to be told and the woman told me on the phone, it's been renewed at the same rates as before. Gotta wait for the letter to come but I'm chuffed with that! Xx

Well done I’m so glad ur mind will be at rest now and your child getting what they deserve I’m still scard cuz ppl with no ehcp and in mainstream have bin turned down and I don’t have ehcp the wait continues I hope there will be done by Friday xxx

So can somebody help me. I don’t know if I’m being stupid ha but I can’t figure it out. My other childs dla I’m due a payment on tuesday the 4th. So the four weeks after that the 2nd December will I get both payments for both boys?

Haven’t caught up in here for a while but just called re COC 23:4 STILL not allocated and deffo gonna go over 30 week mark :(((( my SIL has had a decision from COC 2/6 and our claims are exactly the same claiming mobility for a child same age pretty much same circumstances so it’s frustrating me when they say it’s in date order it’s clearly not!!! What’s more frustrating is the forms should’ve automatically been sent out to me a year ago as my son was 5 in no November and I called Dec, Jan and March and finally got them in April! Sorry for the rant it’s just annoying:(

My child's in mainstream with no ehcp. Only evidence i sent off was one educatuon psychologist report from a year ago as the appointments take forever to come through.

If a dm was to call would they call off an actual number or a no caller id? Surely they would leave a voice mail?

I’m on phone now to them on hold I let you no what they say still don’t think it gonna have bin done xxx

Well you're a day after mine and they said my decision was made last week. Let me know. Fingers crossed for you xx

False alarm it was the health visitor

Still not bin seen at this point no think it going to be done be4 renewal end xxx

I didn't think mine would've been done this soon to be honest. I've seen people's get done the day before! Xx

I think I’ll try again Friday then maybe Wednesday next week and if still not done by then I ring day it ends I’ll let you know once it’s done xxx
