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

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Trustynickname · 17/11/2022 11:13

@Gemma96x when do they backdate from? Do you need the letter to have come through to let them know about it? Son has been awarded but no letter yet

Hill1991 · 17/11/2022 11:04

Scan date of 11 aug rang this morning and was told my ds got high rate care they made the decision on the 15th of this month good luck to everyone on their decisions

MissEllie2 · 17/11/2022 10:48

Completely right, the fight never ends! I’ve heard of so many people taking it tribunal and having it over turned. I’d be so heartbroken too if it was to happen with my Son, really praying I don’t have to do these things but if I do I’ll definitely go for it x

Kirsty111 · 17/11/2022 10:36

I’m so sorry to hear this hun I really do hope your child get what they deserve. The fighting never ends does it just remember you are stronger than you think you xx

MichelleG78 · 17/11/2022 09:50

@MissEllie2 thank you so much, I will carry on fighting for what my son deserves xx

@Gemma96x I sent his latest audiology report, a supporting letter from his teacher of the deaf, his provision map for school, proof of ELSA sessions in school, a letter from his paediatrician. A closing letter from the parenting practitioner from the parenting programme I have just completed stating that they feel I need further support. I also wrote pages of extra evidence highlighting the struggles I have at home with him with his behaviour and told them he has been referred to CAHMs for self harming. Yet they do not feel that he is any different to a child of the same age and does not require any more care or supervision. Previous to this I had been awarded MRC for him in 2016 for 2 years, then it was renewed in 2018 for 4 years up until May this year. I was late sending his renewal form back so they classed it as a new claim and have declined him which I can not understand because if anything I feel his needs have increased xx

Thought I would just leave a little update here before I leave this thread for a while. I rang up today to find out the progress of my MR and found out a decision was made last Wednesday and they haven’t changed their mind about their decision for my son. I’m absolutely heartbroken and now trying to find some strength for the whole appeal process. I wish you all the best of luck and am so happy for all who’ve been awarded x

Hi can I ask what evidence you sent in x

MissEllie2 · 17/11/2022 07:08

@MichelleG78 I am so sorry! Please do not give up ❤️. Fight the entire way, you know your child deserves this. Sending you strength and keep that chin up. You’ve got this 🙏🏼🙏🏼 xx

Mrsamandac · 16/11/2022 20:01

I had a letter dated 14/08 saying they got my application 10/08, then a second letter 27/09 saying sorry it’s taking so long. I’ve not heard anything or received anything :( this wait is unbearable. DS 9 has diagnosed asd and adhd, I sent in the two letters confirming this along with his ehcp, ot report and educational psychologist report.

Sammi85 · 16/11/2022 19:14

Just his diagnosis of autism and his ehcp x

Jas9 · 16/11/2022 19:09

You too! As much as all of our kids need and deserve the support its just frustrating seeing later scan dates awarded before ours. Ive only called up 3 times but feel like im mithering them for an update 😩x

Navigatormum · 16/11/2022 18:35

@Jas9 Everything crossed, stay strong 💕

Jas9 · 16/11/2022 18:00

Mine is 10th august still waiting. Did call on monday she said it had gone to a Dm over the weekend but still not heard anything. X

Navigatormum · 16/11/2022 17:25

Scan date August 11th.
I spoke with a lovely DLA customer handler, who advised that my renewal which was two days late is being treated as a new claim only went to the decision-maker on Sunday 12th of November and I should have a decision by next week at the latest.

Hang on in there lovelies, this entire process has been emotionally taxing but made easier with this groups support and information sharing. 💜

Shellbel10 · 16/11/2022 16:14

What evidence had you sent @Sammi85

Shellbel10 · 16/11/2022 16:12

Brilliant news

Sammi85 · 16/11/2022 16:06

Amymoody · 16/11/2022 15:33

It should be done now i would have said. I rung today and a decision was made yesterday - scan date 12th August

Hill1991 · 16/11/2022 12:19
