Anyone had any decisions today? And what date was scan please? X

BecLew97 · 02/11/2022 12:53

Good idea we have also had to do that. We received a file off our portage worker last week that stated everything I’ve said in my form about my son, but I knew it would delay the decision especially with the postal strikes so we have decided to keep it Incase we need it for an appeal. Good luck hopefully we hear something soon!

@BecLew97 thanks, was wondering if when they look up NHS number it would be on her file as was an NHS assessment? The assessment report was great as backed up what I'd identified as her struggles and care needs, but know will be too late to send in. The waiting is dreadful, isn't it? Think I'll wait in case I need the diagnosis and report to appeal a decision. Hoping it won't be long now!

BecLew97 · 02/11/2022 12:23

@EstJac76 Ring and let them know. The only way they’d find out is if they rang the professional that gave the diagnosis, however they may not call them. It’s worth letting them know but it would be too late to send any evidence of it now. Judging by what you’ve gave them it certainly sounds enough anyways but it’s worth letting them know.

My scan date for daughter's (13) DLA application was 1st August. When submitted we were about to start ASD assessment (waiting since Nov 2019). I included all evidence I had from past such as SALT diagnosis, support worker and her letter accepting her onto ASD pathway. Since submitting the application we have received her diagnosis of ASD Level 2. My question is....will the DM see that her diagnosis has been made? I made it clear we were about to start assessment. Or, do I need to contact them to let them know?

Kas76 · 02/11/2022 12:07

I completely agree. I said to the lady that other ppl with scan date for 1st have had awards or some sort of confirmation, all she said was it depends on how many files the dm has. X

BecLew97 · 02/11/2022 11:59

That’s ridiculous to be honest, every time I ring they remind me I’m down for a text so it’s abit cheeky considering I might not even get one. They wonder why they’re constantly getting phone calls aswell

Kas76 · 02/11/2022 11:55

That's what she said to me also , but she also added that some dms don't have the text facility so I may not get one 🙄

BecLew97 · 02/11/2022 11:51

I’ve just rang up scan date August 1st, it’s been with the decision maker since Monday but still no decision been made. The woman I spoke to did say the text I receive won’t tell me my decision it’ll just say a decision has been made. Does anyone know if this is true cause I’m sure I’ve seen people say they had texts to say their claim was accepted?

Kas76 · 02/11/2022 11:04

Scan date was the 1st. X

Gemma96x · 02/11/2022 10:56
