    You can do :) All you can ask is Has a decision been made yet? If not then check for an update again maybe next week if no luck.

    I'm really hard of hearing ,,,last time got a friend to call and they would not ever listen they wanted to talk to me but my friend told them I can't hear and we communicate by written they just hung up the call which I found very rude

    I'm deaf too, it took them ages to accept that my mum had to speak on my behalf, be persistent :)

    Hello @fridayfeeling38   Sorry what has happened. I am partial deafness and have nominated a friend to help with my calls.

    I found that often helps and then he can relay anything to me. 

    Also when I was in a mental health charity. Support worker did it. Which was great. Now trying to cope on my own. Even so still ask a friend to be nominated.

    Could be a solution.

    Hope that helps.

    You need to be respected and treated right.  Please take care
