Hi,

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

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

I’m just praying for Monday this whole waiting game is stressful between checking phone and jumping on the postman it’s hard to concentrate on other things as they just leave dyou completely in the dark

Yea they do when I last phoned them I was told they working over the weekend a overtime team and that mine should be looked at over this weekend but not giving it much hope to be honest as I'm 3rd Aug so 14 weeks now also I worried with the lack of evidence coz I only sent my sons autism diagnosis report and nothing else. When your scan date and did u sent evidence in x

Yeah I'm 3rd august so I just hope I get a text xx

MissEllie2 · 05/11/2022 10:11

I’ve just been to the post office to post more evidence! I didn’t have it all because I’m still waiting for something from his OT and the GP but they are taking a very long time and I wanted to submit what I have incase I don’t get the others on time! 22nd of august is my scan date 😣. If I receive the other evidence next week I will post that separately asap.x

Gemma96x · 05/11/2022 09:58

Anyone had any updates over weekend x

Shellbel10 · 05/11/2022 09:48

Thank you very much for that

Shellbod81 · 05/11/2022 09:29

@Shellbel10 you have 1 month from receiving the decline letter to do an MR ….this gives you the chance to send in more evidence and do a report stating why you disagree with decisions made on the letter …someone different will look at your claim (so a 2nd opinion really) …the MR will take approx 4-5 weeks at present ….failing this it will then go to an appeal which are taking at least 6 months right now 😭……fingers crossed to anyone waiting on a decision from the weekend team today if anyone gets a txt can you let us know please this wait is making me so anxious! Xx

Shellbel10 · 05/11/2022 08:46

Does anyone know what the mandatory reconsideration process is and how long it takes. I feel we’re not going to be awarded

Claire288 · 05/11/2022 08:35

It's frustrating having to start the wait time again. I'm anxious as I didn't send any evidence. If they contact the school my dc SEN teacher can back up what I've put down on the form. X

Shellbel10 · 05/11/2022 08:30

I’m sure I’ve seen people on here get texts at the weekend

Hayhoarematthews · 05/11/2022 06:56

MissEllie2 · 04/11/2022 21:26

Oh @Claire288 that must be so upsetting for you 😣!! The wait is horrendous x

Claire288 · 04/11/2022 20:05

I sent my first form off on the 3rd August. It got lost, my second form was scanned 11th September. The wait feels like forever.

AandTsmum · 04/11/2022 15:31

Ahh my scan date is 12th September so feel like I’m not going to have an answer until after Christmas!😭 I have applied and been successful twice for my eldest but he had his first paediatrician letter to send as evidence and more the second time but my youngest is still on the waiting list to see his paediatrician so I had no evidence other than he’s on the waiting list but his needs are so much more than my eldests ever was. The anxiety is a lot! You guys are keeping me sane!
