I’ve just phoned. My son has been declined. He has hyper mobility and is currently under paediatrics for ? Sensory processing/ASD. I’m going straight in for an MR once I receive my letter stating why he was declined.

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

Lysha1988 · 03/11/2022 11:06

I’ve written to my mp, as I don’t feel being left in the dark like this is fair. I don’t understand why there is such a backlog. I’ve applied twice in 2020 and 2021 and it was really straightforward. This time it’s been a nightmare and they don’t seem to have any answers as to why there is so many people waiting.

BecLew97 · 03/11/2022 10:43

@Kas76 We feel the exact same way, we’ve waited so long and now even longer with the decision maker. Sick of calling every single day to be told there’s no update, it’s extremely deflating

Kas76 · 03/11/2022 10:33

I'm literally just deflated now. Kind of at that point of if it happens then it happens. Mines been with dm since Monday.

Gemma96x · 03/11/2022 09:17

I still got no update thinking next week or 2 now xx

Xoxdrew · 03/11/2022 09:10

I sent my application on the 5th of aug, I’ve rang this morning and they’ve said it’s in a holding que for a decision maker to pick it up.

Kas76 · 03/11/2022 09:02

Let us know if anyone gets any updates today.. im not going to call again as I feel like I'm stalking them. 🤣

Laurahxx · 02/11/2022 19:01

Thank you @Shellbod81 good luck to everyone else waiting. I also didn’t get a text I just rang up to chase it up. I was with a DM from Friday until Tuesday xx

Shellbod81 · 02/11/2022 17:50

@Laurahxx glad your wait is finally over and your dc can get the extra support they need x

Laurahxx · 02/11/2022 17:38

Good luck to you @Kas76 hope you find out soon. X

Shellbel10 · 02/11/2022 17:35

Kas76 · 02/11/2022 17:27

Laurahxx · 02/11/2022 16:32
