Amazing, fingers crossed for you! What’s your scan date?

Thats great i hope your hear back soon🥰 . Im going to try and forget about it for a couple of months🙈 but the last time i applied for my eldest it felt like time dragged whilst waiting x

Just an update.
Sons original claim was November 2024 was awarded HRC no mobility he was 3
Put for MR for mobility was declined August 2025.
Put in for a tribunal September
DLA missed first notice
And was over due on the second. But had a phone call monday from DLA to ask a few questions.
I was told at the end of the call my son was being awarded HRM and that i didnt need to go to a tribunal.

Still in shock as I wasnt expecting them to respond at all and.
Only downer is that I will have to go through it all again as the claim was only for a year.

I constantly sent in evidence to the tribunal as and when I got it. I would be surprised If they actually read it all as I sent in so many reports from specialists. Aswell as my own written up letters.

I do still currently have an MR for my other child end of August.

I wish everyone good luck.

I’m still waiting to hear bk from UC, reported coc on 20th, son was verified on 29th, had a note from decision maker saying the agree to backpay on 4th and nothing since, the waiting never seems to end

Last time I applied for my eldest was 17 weeks 🙈 the wait does get harder as the time goes on 😵‍💫 x

Haha I will. I called yesterday too, my anxiety needs to know I'm going mad 🙈

My eldests first claim also took just over 17 weeks, then on his renewal 2 years later he got awarded 8 days before his claim was due to end x

Ladies. My daughter has been awarded after 54 weeks 😢 I am crying so happy for her

Congratulations was this nc or mr what was your scan date if u don’t mind me asking xx

Nc was jan 2025... mr July 2025 x thank u

Oh wow thats great, congratulations! Happy for you that the wait is finally over! Xx

Oh that’s fabulous hopefully the award is for a good amount of time I’m mr for August xx

Sent renewal paperwork in December. Current award expires 4th April. Called yesterday and they said it is 'with someone'. So nervous. Does this mean it is with a case worker, or a decision maker? Are they different people. I'm just so anxious!

I’m just waiting on backpay now after a 20month fight, dla were pretty quick sorting it but UC is another story

Ahhh congratulations hun!!! That's amazing I'm so pleased for her!
Do you know how long it was with the DM for?

It.must have been 2.days hun x

Thanks all.. good luck to everyone x

That's quick! I'm on 7 days 🙈 did you get a text or call? X

Waiting on renewal 2nd April, they only received my form a week ago and my anxiety is off the scale already. Anyone heard for renewals in April yet?

Hi everyone, I’m currently waiting for a MR 15/09. However, my claim ends on 11/06. Does anyone know if I need to call to request a renewal pack, or how this works when waiting for reconsideration? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

My sons first claim was ending april 2025, and he got re-awarded 8 days before his claim was due to end. Hopefully you hear back sooner as i have seen people have decisions months before claims are due to end x

Called this morning as mr 15th July still not with a decision maker 🙄 hopefully will be this month been seeing alot of July mr being done

That's rubbish their doing the end of July now, I'm 28th July and mines been with a dm for a week! Maybe yours is in a que of a dm that's got a bigger back log 😔

MrsBoo8888 I know it's awful 😖 they said this morning it's in a holding que still, i had to put in a coc in December for mobility and they said last week my mr was submitted December said no 15th July 2025 then I was advised there be done together depending on what one is picked up first I don't know if this is true, im just hoping the wait is worth it 😢

Oh that's so frustrating! I have read ones waiting on coc and mr seem to be taking longer, I've seen afew moaning on fb groups about it. Yours should of been done you've been waiting long enough. In 2 days it'll be a year since I called for the forms it's madness
