@Momto3smalls I am struggling to not call back again first thing tomorrow morning 😂😅

Mummytolucia · 14/11/2022 19:58

Hi all been lurking a while our scan date is 21st September. Hoping its not much longer than January as I see there's a huge backlog :( we applied for our 10 year old daughter she's got severe adhd and autism with PDA profile and also Sensory processing disorder.

Momto3smalls · 14/11/2022 19:31

Does anyone know how long it's usually with case manager for ? I kind of wanna ring every day to see if any updates but I'm unsure if they have already had enough of me BlushGrin

Fingers crossed for everyone 🤞 x

Can someone tell the address to send extra evidence to please? Xx

ChocolateSundayGirl · 14/11/2022 15:51

@Luly78 oh no! I’m so sorry xx

Wonermamma222 · 14/11/2022 15:49

Long time lurker! Scan date the 12th August was told not allocated to a decision maker this morning. Going to an MP puts everyone before me to the back of the queue. They are really behind and it's terrible to wait this long but so does everyone. Hope u all get the answers u hope for soon. Xx

AandTsmum · 14/11/2022 15:32

I just got off the phone with them. Scan date 12 September and he said it hadn’t been allocated to a CM yet, and said I should, should not definitely, have a decision by middle of December.. but no guarantee..

Sevenwolf · 14/11/2022 14:41

Thank you and the same to you!!

Claire288 · 14/11/2022 14:40

Good luck I hope your child gets what they deserve.

Sevenwolf · 14/11/2022 14:38

Thank you for your peace of mind the school senco helped me fill out the form and added all the reports they have really hope it’s enough.

Claire288 · 14/11/2022 14:37

@Lysha1988 your scan date is the same as mine.

Claire288 · 14/11/2022 14:35

From what I've seen on this thread they go with your child's needs not diagnosis, hopefully you will have a desicion soon. They don't always text and let you know. So might be worth ringing.

Sevenwolf · 14/11/2022 14:31

Hmmm I’ve just had a catch up with my sons senco she will ring them for me if that dosent work I’ll try the mp. I just need to know either way and don’t have my hopes up too much as he is undiagnosed currently awaiting asd assessment

Claire288 · 14/11/2022 14:28

@Sevenwolf apparently the can speed the waiting process up. Further up the thread someone posted to say their scan date was September, they contacted their local mp who spoke with dla and they are now waiting for a payment.

Sevenwolf · 14/11/2022 14:23

What does emailing you local mp do? My new claim scan 5th augst still hasn’t been looked at and my son really needs new special furniture I just can’t afford without it

sadiekt21 · 14/11/2022 14:22

No he has nothing as his asd ADHD referral has been sent about two weeks ago. I included what the health visitor has put in it. Also diagnosis report and hospital letters for seizures and also he's deaf, put in reports and diagnosis and nothing.

Going to get the teacher of the deaf to send something. I think they just want me to be able to explain how he's different with him being 4. I think If he was 5, he would be accepted.

Claire288 · 14/11/2022 14:14

Hi I've just emailed my local mp. As I sent my first form off on 3rd August and it got lost, I had to then fill out another form which was scanned 13th September. The wait really is frustrating. Good luck to everyone still waiting.

georgiesmuma · 14/11/2022 14:08

Oh my god all these refusals are making me nervous! It’s so awful as id anyone would put themselves through that form and stress to hit feel like they were right to get it

Luly78 · 14/11/2022 14:01

Just spoke to them and when’ve been refused. Absolutely livid. Diagnosis since 3 but doesn’t bloody qualify. Absolute joke
