@Mkd1322 23 weeks oh my god i cant wait another 4 we will crack up lol x

alwaysonthegomum · 27/10/2022 19:27

@Nillica im same date as you, be nice if it was tomorrow. My guess is be beginning of next week though x

Mkd1322 · 27/10/2022 19:26

@Cass29 @OKJ on another thread I'm following a lady just commented saying she has been waiting 23 weeks and been told could take another 2 🙈 x

Mkd1322 · 27/10/2022 19:19

@OKJ i no, it's ridiculous. Surely one of them was telling porkies unless they really are that far behind. But i dont see how they can go up 1 day in over a week x

Nillica · 27/10/2022 19:09

My scan date is 27 July, I rang them this morning the lady was really nice, she said they were working on dates up to the 26th this week so should be either tomorrow next week and to ring next Friday if I’ve not heard anything, hope this helps x

I am also waiting for a decision scan date 5/8. Being told it’s 13 weeks now. I am slightly worried I’ve not submitted enough evidence. Can anyone point me in the direction of how to submit additional assessments and reports before they look at the case? I’m hoping for an email address but also realise this is unlikely but with RM strikes it’s going to be tricky.

Thanks in advance

georgiesmuma · 27/10/2022 18:28

They said more than likely 4-6 weeks but call up if you haven’t heard in 4 weeks which is about the 23rd ish of November

Cass29 · 27/10/2022 18:04

@OKJ yeah i remember what they told u thats why it doesn't add up xx

OKJ · 27/10/2022 18:03

@Mkd1322 @Cass29 Wow, I can't believe they are saying they are only on June 7th. It was June 6th when I phone on the 18th. I'm going to phone tomorrow, this is driving me nuts.

Shellbel10 · 27/10/2022 17:58

@georgiesmuma i have the same scan date as you. Cannot believe another 4/6 weeks

Cass29 · 27/10/2022 16:56

@Mkd1322 i just cant see how they were on the 6th last monday and the 7th today makes no sense does it . However i have seen on here people been told it wasn't with a dm then been awarded 2 days later x

Mkd1322 · 27/10/2022 16:53

@Cass29 If you ring ask them the dates because surely someone is getting it wrong some where or they are generally taking that long. I thought would of been with a decision maker by now obviously not x

Cass29 · 27/10/2022 16:20

@Mkd1322 wow they were on the 6th last week i think so its took them over a week to do 1 day wow that cant be right . It should at least be with a dm x

Mkd1322 · 27/10/2022 16:18

@Cass29 just got off the phone to them 😐 they said its taking 20 weeks, i said it's been 20weeks on monday. Its still not with a decision maker and they are working on the 7th of june. Wish i never called they have really annoyed me. X

Cass29 · 27/10/2022 15:25

@Mkd1322 im nervous for you lol x

Mkd1322 · 27/10/2022 15:23

WhatArentWeGoingToDo · 27/10/2022 15:13

@Shellbel10 Thank you! I sent in her ASD & SM assessment/diagnosis forms. That's literally it, there was no school report or anything because I home ed my daughter. I was called on Tuesday by a lady at the DWP and told her that my daughter has just been referred to community paediatrics recently (that wasn't mentioned on the application form). Hope this helps :)

alwaysonthegomum · 27/10/2022 15:06
