Hi,

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

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

Do you get back dated from the time you apply or from the scan date? X

I think the lady said I will receive a back payement from about a week before my scan date. X

Has anyone got a scan date that falls on a weekend? X

I’ve phoned today scan date 27th July, the lady was lovely although not all that helpful. She explained they’re taking 13-14 weeks at present, we’re 14 weeks on Wednesday. She couldn’t really offer any other advice other than it shouldn’t be to much longer.

@Shaimummy the diagnosis report from the paediatrician was all I sent in as evidence but I did outline the struggles as well, the report was balanced and says how academically able my DC is but also the difficulties

Thanks again you have given me some hope ! And congratulations on your award , so happy you have got the award that your DC truly deserves 😊. How old is your DC if you don't mind ? My son is 4.

@Shaimummy my DC is similar and we were awarded last week. Higher care and lower mobility.

Hi Thank you so much for letting me know 🙏. Can I please ask what evidence you sent in? Was there lots of positives on the evidence ? Thanks again x

Hi Kmcx93 sorry I am new to Mumsnet it is not letting me directly reply back, . The facebook group Is called DLA for children, advice and support. Yes I agree with u totally. These reports come from Doctors and Nurses Who have met my son once and from education staff who see a totally different side. Defo keeping fingers crossed and wishing you the best.

Hi have just seen on a DLA Facebook group that they are working up to the 3rd August this week. My scan date is 9th of August so hopefully next week. I am very nervous that we will be turned down . My son has been diagnosed with Autism band has a EHCP but he he is high functioning ( I know we shouldn't say this anymore but I don't know how else to describe it) . on all his reports they state the many negatives and hardships but also the many positives and things that he is great at. He has perfect behavior in school not not so great at home!
I feel like the positives will outshine the negatives and he won't be awarded 😒.

Good luck everyone !

@Shaimummy thanks hun, what group is that please?
i know it’s nerve racking the wait, I too had evidence that pointed out his problems but some were to say how well he was doing. Makes it difficult because nobody really sees the day to day life just what’s written in paper from a doctor that spends 20 mins with them!
m it fingers crossed either way x

Shellbel10 · 31/10/2022 12:16

Only evidence I’ve sent is ieps and copy of sleep meds prescription. Scan date not until 16 aug so few more weeks

Shaimummy · 31/10/2022 12:15

Kmcx93 · 31/10/2022 11:03

Anyone who has called today have they said what date they are working up to?

Do they normally ask for sort code for security question , I've never had that before, they've asked for the bank I bank with but never the sort code.

Yes they have asked me this before x
