Wow they’re on Nov already. My son got awarded MRC March 2025, took till Aug to receive it, MR done sept 2025 & I’m still waiting, as of Monday this week it was still with DM, been with them since 5th April, they told me it could be with a DM for 5-6 weeks. The wait is painful

That's insane it's mad how long the wait is I rang today still not allocated to anyone

Oh no, when my boy first got dla a couple years ago they took 1 day to verify! I only did mine on the 16th april 🙈 hopefully you wont be waiting too much longer! At least i know mine isnt anywhere near being verified yet 😅

Everything crossed for us 🙏 i seen a few April dates on FB! So annoying you would think it went in date order wouldn't you, one person said they had a decision within a week its bizarre! Surely we cant be too much longer, I will be sure to keep you updated if and when I hear anything 🤞
