hi if u ring and choose option 1514 they tell you instead of 1512 x

@Mylittleones2Ah perfect thank you!

No worries hope it good news x

MR 15/9, and renewal 11/06 called today and no decision made on either claim.

Same date as me still in holding Que when I phoned yesterday x

Hi hope everyone is okay. I applied for an MR week of 15th September and still not heard nothing back. Anyone with an MR date the same time and heard anything. I have rung several times over the 30

Hi, is your MR on the back of a COC or a renewal or new claim? Wondering if they are all dealt with the same or if they're split into categories! Thanks x

I also got a MR 15/09 for a COC 11/03 and a renewal sent for 11/06. I was told I might hear back about both at the same time and not to call again.

Called this morning NC SD 06/03 didn't give me anything apart from they've received it and no decision has been made yet

I am SD NC 20th March so thinking its going to be another 4-5 weeks at least before I hear anything. Hope you get your decision soon!

How long do decision letters take to come through?
I know I can ring but honestly I’m scared to haha

Hey all - how long after being told your MR is with a DM do people usually hear? :)

So my MR date was 5/9 they did call me 3 weeks ago now saying they have looked at it all and passed it onto a medical team who now want a report from the consultant (for context my child has a physical disability) when I tell you I have sent in numerous consultant letters, occupational therapy reports, xray reports, hospital discharge letters from surgery, proof of blue badge & disability grant for home adaptations, care diaries, risk assessment from school, the list goes on … after waiting all these months for the MR for them to ring me and say ‘we now what a consultant report’ this was 3 weeks ago and not heard a thing since. I wrote in a formal complaint 10 days ago now, asking them to make a decision without the report because I said how long am I suppose to wait until the consultant responds!? They said could be months 🫠 I’ve had enough! May 2025 we started this it’s been nearly a whole year! They have so much evidence I’m in disbelief that they called me 3 weeks ago saying sorry still can’t make a decision can’t believe it I’ve truly had enough!

A renewal. I rang up yesterday and does seem like they’re reading off a script. Same think gets said each time that it could take up to a year and there’s no time frame.

Called for an update today on Mr for the 27th October 23 weeks and said still in queue this wait is mad I think It will be another 6 to 7 weeks wait if lucky

I've rung today and been told a decision has been made and a letter was sent on 3rd April but couldn't tell me on the phone what the decision was... There's nothing in my bank account, is that an indication it wasn't successful?

Oh scratch that I've just seen a pending payment on my bank account for just over £500. SD was 3rd march so looks like we have been awarded middle rate? Very pleased and will make a big difference to the private meds whilst waiting for NHS to take over care

Hi everyone anyone heard anything from scan dates 10/03 for NC

NC SD 03/03 phoned today for an update decision made 06/04 we’ve been awarded middle rate care. Good luck everyone ☺️ xxx

Mr 29/9/25 just been accepted for high rate care I'm very relieved I don't have to go to tribunal and glad the 1 year wait is finally over 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

TashaxJ. Thank you so not long hopefully

SD 03/03 for MR and COC
Decision was made on the 01/04 ,awarded MRC/LRM
DS was sent a mobility form when he turned 5 years old couple with a request we made for a mandatory reconsideration same time, for HRC.I believe the mobility part made the decision came fast .
Fingers crossed for everyone waiting.Hope you hear soon.x

Congrats! Did they call or did you hear by letter/back payment first? :)

Hi, haven’t been on here for a while.
i did a MR for COC on 18/12/25 haven’t bothered calling cause I know nothings going to come of it just wondering if anyone has same/similar date and has heard anything or what month they are at, I have a few more documents to send from school and health visitor so hoping that will help the case x

Just had the back payment In my bank yesterday from them I'm glad this fight is over now it's a big weight off my shoulders :)
