Hi, I created a new thread as the old one is reaching its limit.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

My scan date is 10th too. Hoping for an update soon

Mumknowsbest7777 · 09/11/2022 14:36

Hi,

I'm just of the phone to them, as I have sent my child's private diagnosis today. Which confirms autisum. I sent to day next day delivery. They said it is with the DM. After waiting so long I'm not sure if I would like a extra day or 2 now. So they have more evidence.

My Scan date is the 10th August

Gemma96x · 09/11/2022 14:24

RunPamRun · 09/11/2022 12:16

So I've just called to see if it's worth adding to my son's record that we've heard from the triage panel and been accepted for an adhd assessment by the local authority (he already has a private diagnosis and medication) and a really lovely, helpful lady told me that he's been awarded today, MRC, LRM, for two years! I'm so happy! Fingers crossed for you all that you get your own good news soon! xx

Hi did.you get a text message xx

How long after receiving the text confirming your child qualifies for Dla so people get their payment please x

Shellbel10 · 09/11/2022 12:43

How old is he

sadiekt21 · 09/11/2022 12:31

I am going to do, how long did it take to get a mandatory reconsideration decision?
They seem to be blaming his behaviours on his age and haven't taken any notice of the evidence the health visitor has sent in x

georgiesmuma · 09/11/2022 11:53

I’m the 19th and they said call after 2 but more likely 4-6 weeks 😳

Shellbel10 · 09/11/2022 11:39

That’s ridiculous I’m 16 august I thought it would be looked at late next week maybe early the following

Acappuchinoplease · 09/11/2022 10:48

I’ve just called up again. I was told last week it would be looked at this week - scanned 10/8 and now been told it could be another 2 weeks before it’s looked at. So stressful waiting and not knowing

RunPamRun · 09/11/2022 10:40

@Shannon1995x I think it's like asking how long is a piece of string. I think it depends on the DM, their work rate, what mix of cases they have, how complex they are, how much evidence there is to go through, assess, verify etc. I've seen one comment where the decision was made same day as going to DM, others have apparently taken over a week. Our scan date is 8th August too. I expect most cases, unless complicated, reams of documents or borderline, are reviewed and decided within a few days. But then you've always got things like individual employee sickness, holidays, training etc that might throw a curveball into the mix. When I called Monday morning they said ours had gone to a DM too, but I don't know when. I would imagine we'll both hear before the end of the week (or at least a decision will be made by the end of the week 🤞🏻). x

barnsleylass86 · 09/11/2022 10:14

Hi all I rang again this morning and he definatley has been awarded . The technical glitch is about the back money. Apparently it hasnt been sent as sometimes the DM has checks on them to make sure they have done things properly and has now got to be signed off by a manager. Has anyone else experienced this ? They said to call back Friday as she was going to send an email to get it sorted

Lor39 · 09/11/2022 10:03

What evidence did you send in? X

Gemma96x · 09/11/2022 10:00

Shannon1995x · 09/11/2022 09:48

First time posting on here but been checking for a while now My scan dates 8th august I just ring a minute ago been told it's been with decision maker for a few days now does anyone know how long roughly before I'll know then ? Xx

Really hope you hear soon and good luck, hope you get your award. I think I’ll leave it until the end of the week now if I haven’t heard anything.
He doesn’t smash things up but he’s massively struggled with the transition, for example he lost his PE kit last week and he has a locker to use! It’s all got to be school logo, football boots, trainers, 3 PE tops, bottoms the list goes on. It’s £200 to replace it. Absolute nightmare.
We don’t claim any benefits so this is the first time I’ve been through this kind of process and it’s an eye opener into the system. Think I was told up to 8 weeks to start yet here we are 14 weeks this week and still no confirmation either way x
