I contacted them on the 21/09/2017 and they said it's being considered and awaiting a decision. They said I should get a decision by 12 weeks and I was thinking how can he say that, but he seemed very confident. Then again they are just call centre representatives so they don't have any proper info.

I asked about the backlog and she avoided the question, obviously they're not allowed to say anything.

Inshallah we will get a decision soon.

25/8/17 Been 13 weeks no reply. Email sent chasing update and got the generic reply that it is awaiting decision. Online status check never recognises my gwf number don't know how people manage to get any update on there! It's always unrecognised for me. looks like it's going to be a long waiting game :/

Emailed my local MP and asked them for their assistance in this .

*update* Recieved an email on 25/9/17 stating that they aim to make a decision before 31st October.

Fingers crossed🤞🏼

The MM et al case is the worst thing to happen to all of us still waiting. It is the reason all cases were put on hold and now there is a big backlog of cases just starting to be processed.
