@Unicorn2022 Oh ok cause I've seen a few people say they have a text to say they got accepted

Unicorn2022 · 11/12/2022 14:28

No I don't usually get a text, normally get the money in my account and a letter turns up a few days later.

Jayda19902022 · 11/12/2022 13:59

Just curious does everyone get a text if there claim is successful

mammaov3 · 11/12/2022 12:51

mammaov3 · 11/12/2022 12:50

@Mummytolucia iv basically had the same a letter about a month ago and a test saying same thing a week ago , its very frustrating i hope we hear soon it drives my anxiety through roof 😕

Mummytolucia · 11/12/2022 12:17

20th september here. Nothing except a letter around 1 and half months ago saying sorry its taking so long and then a text about 3 weeks ago saying the same. I hope we hear soon it's so stressful the not knowing and worrying about it

mammaov3 · 11/12/2022 11:41

LanB · 11/12/2022 09:06

I received a call yesterday, asked a couple of questions. Then got a text to say my son qualified. Scan date 14th Sept.

mammaov3 · 10/12/2022 20:52

@Kaylisa thank you for your reply it makes me feel better knowing this , i will update as soon as i fine out the outcome 😊 🤞

Kaylisa · 10/12/2022 20:47

@mammaov3 I commented yesterday on here that I found out yesterday over the phone that one of my daughters didn’t qualify but one did. The one who did hasnt got a diagnosis, I sent in no supporting evidence just filled in the form the best I could. Didn’t get anyone to fill in the bit to say they knew her/what she is like. She has been referred to the cdc by school and gp but when I sent the form she hadn’t been.
hopefully you will be successful. And appeal if you are not. Just wanted to comment and let you know that you have sent in more than I did so don’t lose hope 🤞🏻 Good luck! X

Hi im new to this thread iv been reading through my scan date is 23rd September and it will be 13 weeks for my sons new claim on the 24th of December so im not holding my breath now to hear anything untill after Christmas or maybe into new year 😪 i did ring dla yesterday and the lady wasn't that helpful, she seid its been with decision makers since 21st of October 🙄 and she told me new claims are 12 weeks ?? witch confused me as only 3 weeks ago they seid new claims are taking 13 weeks , im not hopeful becouse i only had evidence of diagnosis but other than that not much support letters only one from his nursery and family worker, my sons 4 in January and i tried getting a support letter of his health visitor but she has been blanking me for 8 months now even when i have had concerns about my sons weight, its very frustrating the whole process, myself i suffer with a anxiety disorder and depression and bpd and waiting on things like this makes me physically poorly , i just hope i hear something in the next couple of weeks.

BlueBellIris · 10/12/2022 19:22

Jayda19902022 · 10/12/2022 18:43

Lozzaaaaa · 10/12/2022 14:08

LucasMummy88 · 09/12/2022 18:37

Lozzaaaaa · 09/12/2022 18:35

@LucasMummy88 I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Defo let me know. It’s getting closer and making me feel a little sick lol! X

sadiekt21 · 09/12/2022 18:35

Ah how awful. It's really stressful. Thankyou x

LucasMummy88 · 09/12/2022 18:34

Thank you @Lozzaaaaa . I’m not hopeful due to his age but I’ll keep you posted :) hopefully you’ll hear something soon as well x

Lozzaaaaa · 09/12/2022 18:32

@LucasMummy88 Yay!!!!! Fingers crossed for you lovely x

Kaylisa · 09/12/2022 18:31

Thank you, yes I will. She actually has a diagnosis unlike my 7yr old so will hopefully go through on MR.

MichelleG78 · 09/12/2022 18:27

@sadiekt21 Unfortunately they didn’t change their decision so I am now in the process of an appeal. I wish you the best of luck with yours x

sadiekt21 · 09/12/2022 18:17

How did you get on with the mandatory reconsideration?
