Hi I sent my sons autism dsm-5 report also gave my sons appointment woth the peadatrics and gave senco contact details and been told mine was looked at then put aside so no decision been made yet so not sure if they need more info from school but the school isn't very helpful x

Shannon1995x · 10/11/2022 10:59

Also I literally rung up an hour ago got told with decision maker still could be up to a week to be told but got my text after that so if your told it's with a decision maker might not be as long as you think

Shannon1995x · 10/11/2022 10:54

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

Sharna123 · 10/11/2022 10:49

Still awaiting a decision scan date 9th August, apparently it's with a DM. The evidence I sent in was EHCP, Adhd diagnosis, Occupational therapy assessment, speech and language assessment, behaviour reports from school, camhs referral etc.

Boymumxx · 10/11/2022 10:27

Momto3smalls · 10/11/2022 06:44

@Colettet my scan date is the 11/08 !! I rang Monday and was told I would be one of the next decisions they make so I'm assuming that means with the decision maker ? But then reading everything here I'm not sure they know what they are doing ConfusedGrin

Thanks, fingers crossed you get some news very soon?!

Shaimummy · 10/11/2022 09:42

Please don't give hope Gemma I was so sure my son was not going to be awarded as his reports had a lot of positive things on it and I thought they would just use that to decline him.
His autism diagnosis report should hopefully have all The info they need x

Gemma96x · 10/11/2022 09:39

Shaimummy · 10/11/2022 09:21

Hi Gemma I sent in his Autism Diagnosis Report , His Speech Therapy and Occupational Therapy Reports and EHCP x

That's good I really don't think I have enough evidence x

Gemma96x · 10/11/2022 09:25

Lor39 · 10/11/2022 09:22

I’m just off the phone decision yesterday we haven’t been awarded. Not enough evidence to suggest my son needs enough extra support to justify a claim. Sent evidence from diagnosis and care plan in school. Will be doing an MR within the month. Scan date 5th Aug

Oh no I think I will be told the same xx
