This is a page where we are all in the same boat, trying to win what our children deserve, please be kind and support one another, we all have enough stress without adding to it 😁

Thank you. You too. No idea why the post is slow. They do seem to prioritise the parcels at the minute. 🙄

My scan date for COC was 17/02. Backpay recieved 15/04 so 8 weeks. I also seen just before I recieved my backpay that someone elses on here took 8 weeks too

hopefully it’s the same for me then, his renewal is due in october i’m hoping they accept the change of circumstances and extend his award so i don’t have to do the renewal x

Hi all. Joining as i put in my daughters MR 13/03. Declined HRM despite her being a wheelchair user and being prescribed a wheelchair for indoor and outdoor use. Very frustrating. Long wait ahead for us.

Mines with decision maker yesterday after 26 week wait MR hope it's not tribunal as I can see that been a massive wait hope to hear something soon stated claim 4th of August

Oh amazing!! I’m so happy for you!
yes fingers crossed for mine! Still nothing yet but I am staying as patient as I can hahaha!

I've got everything crossed for you 🤞 if nothing by Friday I would deffo give them a call to chase it up!🙏

Morning all. Anyone know what SD they are on for new claims? My SD is the 30/03/26 . Not heard anything yet hoping its not long

Missed a call from decision maker MR October said. Will call back is this a bad sign thank you I'm new to all of this

Just rung and a decision was made on 24th April. Can’t say the decision over the phone so fingers crossed. SD was 20/10/25 such a nerve racking feeling. Hope everyone hears soon and gets the decision they want. Anyone know how long the letter takes to arrive or back payment if decision is accepted.

I have the same scan date and it’s still not with a decision maker….. but my friend whose scan was done the 13th April has received her back pay today. Seems to be random xx

My SD26-03-2026 phone last week wasn’t even with any one yet I shouldn’t have been a new claim but they lost my review paper work so gotta to start all over last time keep being trun down after 9 months on last claim was awarded mrc for 1 year run out in November so back to square one x

Hi the SD are random they just pick a pile up and work from them they don’t do date order
my claim was NC SD 09/03 decision was made 20/03 back payment received 24/03

hope this helps, it’s very frustrating however NC are really fast this year 💛

Wow its crazy ! Hopefully not too long to wait for us.
Wow that was really quick my daughters NC last febuary took 26 weeks . glad they are getting through them quickly. I imagine they have a good few centers that deal with them? So i guess it just depends on the area and fast they are.

I have a SD for MR 28.11.2025. Yet to hear anything but finally received reports from educational psychologist, a report from his school counselling and updated risk assessments from school. I’ve sent all in and hoping they’ll look at this evidence to change original decision

I sent mine on the 15th April paid for it to be tracked an it said it was delivered on 17th April via Royal Mail ?

Hi all,

First of all apologies if I've messed up this post, new here. I just wanted to get an idea of wait times for a NC, if anyone knows?

I snet a NC on 20th Feb recorded etc and got a receipt that they'd received it a day or two after.

Biting nails waiting. I'm guessing there's no way to find out progress/updates, right? I tried calling but the automated message said they couldn't say.

TIA for your help

Hi NC vary some take 15 weeks 5 weeks I was very lucky last month mine took 11 days, u can ring and ask for an update, they will tell u if it’s in a holding Q or assigned to a case manager / decision maker . Hope this helps 💛

Thanks so much for your reply. If it is assigned to a case manager / decision maker I'm guessing it shouldn't be too long? Sorry, the process is so confusing :). I feel like it'd save them a lot of time if they just updated people, haha.

Will definiely give them a call tomorrow and perserve.

Ur very welcome, when assigned to a case manager/ desicion maker it can take a day a few hours or weeks I think it depends how complex the disability is. Deffo ring ur allowed to Ring and ask where ur claim is 💛

Perfect, thanks again.

Ur very welcome 💛

Decision made 24th and still no letter or back pay so I’m taking it as my MR was declined. So gutting!

Mine as been with a decision maker nearly a week still. Don't no the outcome stressing me out as if it's a decline I need to go to tribunal
