Thank youuu and Yes fingers crossed and I will do I’ll still be on here been nosey anyway lool xx @Princessmom222

I was just coming to ask about UC 🤣 can I ask when you notified them off the change? Last time my first child's took a week and my seconds child was done in a day which would be lovely but I doubt that will happen again this time.

Manager can't give me an answer why everyone else is being done and July mr are still waiting. It was like a battle

I know it’s very weird! A decision maker phoned me today regarding her medication for night time, I don’t understand as I logged it the 29dec. But my other child’s 24october and not even allocated. They only thing I can think that’s diff and why it was quicker is because I challenged a renewal choice. And the October one was for a NC MR? But fingers crossed your goes through any day now x

I sent it friday evening and was done monday morning and sent to a decision maker. But im sure it takes a while from this point for a decision maker to work out backpay etc and it then hit your bank account! Hope this helps xx

That could be the difference then im not sure, the whole system doesnt make much sense they should 100% do all claims in date order. But im glad your decemember one is getting done quicker. Ive been waiting nearly a year for my NC MR x

NC SD 26/11
I rang at the beginning of January because I saw alot of claims for my sons scan date being awarded. Got told it was forwarded to the medical team and that I should hear in 2 weeks. I haven't but I also haven't had time to call again.
But now I see a few people are still getting decisions from October.
Just posting this to keep upto date on everyone commenting.

Hoping everyone gets the right decisions for their children

Fingers crossed yours isn’t too long either x

That’s what I was told 1st December and still waiting x

What is your scan date?

Hopefully we get the decision our children deserve x

New claim forms received 29/10
rang me 1st dec said sent to the medical team it’ll be a couple more weeks then had a few issues regarding his surname.
been with dm 3 weeks today xx

Just seen a 24july mr has been contacted wt the hell

After being awarded MRC & LRC do my daughter last April her condition has worsened so I’ve got reports together to back this up
COC forms sent 18/12/25 returned 31/12 SD 7/1
When I did my daughters original claim my son was declined due to age at the time I’ve now put in a NC for my son forms sent 22/12 returned recorded 28/1 due to deadline being 02/2 but was awaiting his senco to complete her section & a copy of his perscription my son also an issues with his legs which he is now under Paediatrics & physio after he had x rays we had been previously been waiting from July but glad they’ve now picked this up & he is being treated properly through all the right channels and we have the evidence to support. He is under Senco at school and awaiting ASD assessment but getting support put in place for him.
so stressful doing all the does and evidence again but glad we had more to provide them with. I wish everyone the best on here it’s not an easy journey but keep fighting & keep your chins up

That’s great news for you, I’ve just sent mine off and had text today to say it had been received so presuming today is my scan date! Renewal not due until 05/06 but I wasn’t sure what processing times were these days- it was 6 months 2 years ago and I doubt that’s got any better! X

I saw this too.. hopefully next week for us

@Gemini000 i hope so am so fed up with there lies

I’m sure I remember you from last time! I had my other daughter’s renewal last year and that came through 3 days before it was due. The decision was made on the 21st Jan and was due 27th Feb so 5 weeks before this time. Thank god because I was starting to get stressed! Good luck! Both my renewals now have stayed the same.

I cant bring myself to phone em again.. nearly 27 weeks.. and your longer.. I just don't get it.. x

Im 27 weeks too for my MR and when i rang yesterday its still in a holding que!

I might give em a call inabit.. its just draining isn't it x
