My scan date is 24/12 and I’ve heard nothing yet either. I know it won’t be looked at yet but I just feel so stressed not knowing!! When I ring I worry I’ll get someone really horrible and that will put me off ringing again. Maybe that’s why they do it 😂. Fingers crossed we hear soon and you get a positive outcome to relieve some pressure xx

It's ridiculous all this waiting

Didn’t know that! 🤣 really hoping any time soon then and with a favourable decision at that. This wait is killing me and I can’t shake this paranoia if I have written something wrong on my application. I’ve sent in all the evidence so hopefully thy backs it up.

Really, good luck to all of us. This wait is hard.

Mine’s NC SD 16/12 but have not heard from them and when I called this morning it’s not even with a decision maker yet. Hope you hear from them again with good news 😊

Someone on Facebook has just been declined even though she had so much evidence.. not holding out much hope now. 😩

Our renewal date was first week of Feb and we had our decision start of Feb... so I don't know why they've said that x

That’s the scary part. I see some with less evidence that was approved and others with loads of evidence and was denied. I can’t help but feel anxious.

Did MR request in July, didnt even provide any extra evidence, but I've just checked my bank today and there's a big DLA payment.

@honeyrosesandwich can I ask what was ur scan date?

I thought that as ive seen quite a few with similar dates be renewed way before

original scan date was 08/01/25

@honeyrosesandwich i meant ur mr

Me too. I hate waiting too. I suffer with anxiety and ocd so this doesn't help at all.

Ive been completely paranoid that i havent got across good enough the needs of my twins. Ive been waiting since august for their new claims and the paranoia and everything has been debilitating! I hate waiting too which is a killer, plus seeing countless people being awarded after my scan date feels like punch to the gut.
Their claims have been with a decision maker two weeks tomorrow and still no decision has been made. On a plus note though i managed to get the last bit of evidence i had recieved to them to go along with the huge amount they have already got!

Best of luck to you and your child. I hope you get a favourable outcome! X

@Red1991 you heard anything? X

I'm going to ring tomorrow for an update. I could really use some good news and to be done with this. I hate that there's nothing else I can do

I’m waiting for MR which was sent 11/07, anyone know how much longer it will be?

It is roughly taking around 30 weeks for a MR x

Thank you!

mines pending tomorrow, I believe I called up for MR on 04/07 @Lonnie1423

Hey guys I haven't been on here in awhile, i just want to ask WTH is going on with people's MR??

I did my sons last July and haven't heard anything in 25 weeks... there's people on FB shocked that they've got their MR awarded from December... there is about 3 or 4 of them I've seen. I'm happy for them but what is going on?!! Are they just picking us out of a pile now?

@MrsBoo8888 honestly it's a joke. All they say is it's done in date order which is not true. I let rip and made a complaint if they read the claim and evidence properly they wouldnt have so many Mrs.

Sent off a COC Nov 24 and got a no change to claim response in June - it’s just taking forever now I’ve been resisting phoning up but the wait is getting to me

That's so true! They didn't contact my sons school or anything they just declined him. What's the point in putting down professionals if they arnt going to connect them? Then they moan about all the money they have to pay people after waiting a year for the right result!
Argh they need a better system

Well I called, extra evidence has now been scanned but no decision. She said she can't see if it's a priority as that would have been done via an internal email. Now I'll try to hold off phoning for another week.
