I'm still having to ring today again even though my son was awarded Friday . The DM sometimes has checks on them so the back money hasn't been generated on our claim . Was told to call back today if I hadn't received it and I havnt. It's a nightmare to be honest . Sick of calling now

Happy90 · 10/11/2022 16:06

Yeah it’s a new claim. I sent diagnosis letter and copy of a letter from a counsellor that was sent to school.
I have claimed for my other 2 children and did not send any evidence with those as I did not have any at the time and both was awarded previously.

I just sent my son autism diagnosis report and told them over phone school senco contact details and my sons next peadatric appointment to talk about possibly medication for sleep time and nothing else. I spoke to a lady yesterday on the phone and asked if u have anymore info which I don't have anything else so with her saying that over the phone it don't look great the xx

Hi girls scan date 8th august just got my text saying my girl qualifies !! On the phone now to try find out what rates she's got she has autism only evidence I sent in was a letter from her nursery and put down health visitors details was worried because she's not been diagnosed yet and hasn't had much help so didn't think it was enough evidence but must have been fine so good luck girls x

That's good news for you. I hope my evidence is enough x

Luly78 · 10/11/2022 18:12

I got cut off twice after waiting 40
mins each time. Will try again in the morning

Momto3smalls · 10/11/2022 16:52

I just got off the phone. No update for me yet other than will have a decision by end of next week.... he said there is no overtime staff this weekend so it will most likely be next week! Fingers crossed this waiting is driving me insane ! People that have heard from the 10th is giving me hope next week is accurate!

Gemma96x · 10/11/2022 16:47

Mumknowsbest7777 · 10/11/2022 16:39

I phoned to see if my extra evidence was received, as I sent it in yesterday next day delivery. The Evidence was confirmed AC diogenes.

Momto3smalls · 10/11/2022 16:18

@Domimo79 congratulations! Gives me
Hope mine will be soon I'm the 11th!
Ringing now to see if any updates Grin

Domimo79 · 10/11/2022 16:08

This is the first time posting after following this thread for a while. My scan date is 10th august. Today I called for an update and was told that a decision had been made but the system hadn’t updated with the result and promised to give me a ring once it had. True to his word he rang and told me that my grandson ( he lives with me ) had been awarded HRC and LRM for ADHD.. other than the claim forms I sent absolutely no evidence whatsoever. I did however give contact information for his paediatrician and school for confirmation of diagnosis and EHCP. Hope this is a bit of clarification and hope for others still waiting
