Hi,

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

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

Oh no that's not good can I ask you what evidence you sent it and when was your scan date you should definitely do a Mr xx

I sent in his IMP for nursery and they also done a report. We were awaiting referral to peads and physio which we have now had so I’m going to request reports from them to send in too. Always a battle isn’t it. Scan date 27th July. I am most definitely doing a MR x

Shellbod81 · 03/11/2022 14:25

Is anyone having trouble getting through to DLA? I’ve called 5 times and keeps cutting out!
i have also seen people on the Facebook group being approved within a month of sending forms. It’s crazy and unfair.

I think the people who are getting awarded within a month are living in Northern Ireland. But yes just seen 3rd / 4th August now being awarded in the UK.

Nillica · 03/11/2022 12:37

I actually thought it would be declined because I only sent in his diagnosis report but it had everything in that and also what I filled in on the form, was shocked and pleased at the same time, fingers crossed for you x x

Ok thank you I didn't even have the school fill in there section so it was just me and his report from when he was diagnosed with autism dsm-5 I don't even know what dsm-5 means but I tried my best in filing the form out xx
