    The timescales of MR decisions can be anything up to 12 weeks. Once a decision is made you will be contacted. Sometimes a decision maker will ring if they have any questions to ask.

    Does this phone call I had normally come from a case worker/decision maker?

    Technically they are both the same thing. As i advised, a decision maker can sometimes ring if they have any questions to ask. Unfortuantely, we can tell you exactly who it was that rang you.

    When you start thinking about it, which is only natural, 'distraction is your friend' do things that make you happy, watch tv, listen to radio, a hobby etc so you aren't dwelling on it.  Also you have options if the decision isn't favourable, Appeal etc. 73% Appeals succeed.
