Hi,

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

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

I’m new to it too! Scary isn’t it and worrying enough though it’s what they are entitled to. So happy for you though. They normally reply back within a few days and then work out how much your owed and give you the date your getting it either same day they read the note or a few days after. Xx

Ok thank you do they pay for the child disabled element and the care element also has I don't get carers allowance xx

@Gemma96x if you put a note on your journal from the date you’ve been awarded the claim and what rate and report the change of circumstances. They will then attach a letter to your journal stating how much they owe you from them dates. So happy for you x

Ok done than thank you so much and I can't believe it I'm still in complete shock 😲.

Gemma96x · 11/11/2022 09:49

Hi guys I received a text saying My son qualifies so phone them up for rates ect scan date 3rd Aug xx

KeeefBurtain · 11/11/2022 09:39

I didn’t realise the wait times were so long 😫

had the letter that they’d received the application on the 16/09, and just yesterday got the ‘sorry we haven’t given you a decision yet…’ yesterday.

in a way it’s a blessing as we have another paeds appointment next week, and the Ed psych is doing an observation at nursery the following week so I’ll have some more evidence to send in
