Hi,

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

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

@sadiekt21 does he have a EHCP or IEP from school that you could get ??

Hi All, so last week my claim was declined. Its been looked at again today by a different DM as there was late evidence but it's still declined.
They are saying it needed more evidence to show he differs from a child of his age (4). They are apparently strict on the under 5 rule. They are saying that because he's under 5, he doesn't need anything different to a child of that age. But my argument is that he is in reception and with children of 5 it's just he has a later birthday.

I've already sent of hospital letters, health visitor letter, spoa referral. What else can I do 😭

Hi all, just an update, don’t give up hope - I was told last week that hasn’t even been passed on to case worker yet, but today rang and found out it has been awarded. I found out over the phone, but I haven’t had a text or letter or any payment.. she said should receive payment in next few days, I don’t have any pending upcoming payments, does anyone know when they usually send payment?

I feel absolutely relieved and greatful, finally my little one gets what he deserves, he’s had a real struggle these past few years, these payments will help me access provisions for him that I wouldn’t have been able to prior.

Good luck everyone xx

Someone posted on Facebook that they were scanned on the 18th August and have been told it is being looked at today.

Navigatormum · 14/11/2022 12:41

@Lysha1988 Thank You 🤗❤️

namechangeagain3 · 14/11/2022 12:40

Was due to expire December

namechangeagain3 · 14/11/2022 12:40

So relieved. Just phoned them and my daughters renewal has been done for 5 years! High rate care and low rate mobility. Do I need to inform UC that is staying the same now for 5 years? X

Lysha1988 · 14/11/2022 12:33

@Navigatormum Requesting help from your Mp should really help I contacted mine 11 days ago. Scan date 13th September. And my dd has been awarded. Fingers crossed for you x

ChocolateSundayGirl · 14/11/2022 12:19

I think she might have said the award was from 20th July. I rang for the forms on the 11th July. Does that sound right? Xx

ChocolateSundayGirl · 14/11/2022 12:18

Don’t give up hope any of you 💕 Give them a call. I was so stressed that I hadn’t done enough for my daughter. I can’t even remember what date she said it was awarded from to be able to phone carers or tax credits 🤦🏻‍♀️

Momto3smalls · 14/11/2022 12:14

Mine went to a case manager on the 11th they said to give them till Friday to make a decision Grin

Navigatormum · 14/11/2022 12:06

ChocolateSundayGirl · 14/11/2022 12:05
