OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Hi everyone. I posted my form 11th October and haven’t had any notification that they’ve received it yet. Are the notifications also taking longer than usual, does anyone know? I can’t easily spare 40mins on hold to check …

Hi I got a letter back after 2 weeks to say they received it

@Leah041196 thank you so much, I’m glad the wait is over for you x

@Leah041196 am so pleased for you! I’m currently 3 weeks into waiting for outcome of an MR. Got declined in September after waiting since June. All this waiting is making me so anxious and I’m preparing myself for another no. But you’ve given me hope so thank you :)

The waiting is the worst part! The process is so long in itself but I’m so glad I went through with the MR I almost lost hope to fingers crossed it’s not long for you and your child gets what they deserve :)

Does it depend what area you live in aswell as someone on 4th Aug been awarded so it doesn't seem to make any sense x

My scan date is the 5th of Aug.
ive just been awarded HRC AND LCM. It went to the decision maker this morning and was awarded at 11am

Luly78 · 07/11/2022 17:07

I’m just off the phone to them. My scan date is 10th august. The lady was lovely and said that the norm is 14 weeks at the mo so she would have expected ours to be with a DM at the mo…. But she thinks that they may have fallen further behind than they’re admitting as some others she’s looked at today she’s have expected a decision to have been made on but it wasn’t the case. So fingers crossed

Gemma96x · 07/11/2022 16:47

Any1 3rd aug that's been awarded? x

Been a long wait but finally called today and was told great news my son was awarded mrc and lrm it has been a tough fight as we was declined end of august after waiting since may! It was only supposed to be a renewal, but it appeared they messed up the paperwork and had been looking at a total different child, mandatory reconsideration went through and I waited patiently took 6 weeks in all to get that back but happy news today :) also whilst on the phone I asked them to check my other sons claim he was awarded mrc and his scan date was 6 august hopefully everybody gets what there children deserve and remember to not give up without a fight :)

@Gemma96x Well I thought I sent in my sons letter of autism diagnosis,but they rang me last Monday to ask what school my son goes because I forgot to fill that part out ( I have baby brain) and she told me I didn't send any letters in so they only went off what I wrote down and what ever the school SENCO have said to her x

That's good 👍 xx
