This fills me with hope as our scan date was the 6/9 too 🙂 So pleased you have had a decision.

Lozzaaaaa · 01/12/2022 19:36

@Mummytogirls87 Thats exactly the same as us! I am so happy for you and your daughter! Xx

Mummytogirls87 · 01/12/2022 19:24

@Lozzaaaaa i honestly thought my daughter was going to be declined cos I’d been reading all posts about Ehcps and my daughter doesn’t have one yet plus I didn’t get anyone to sign the ‘someone who knows your child’ part in the claim form the lady that phoned me this morning was lovely xx

Lozzaaaaa · 01/12/2022 19:06

@Mummytogirls87 Ah gives me hope! I’ve sent the diagnoses from when he was 4, he’s 6 now and an up to date letter from clinician referring to cahms. Do not think it’s enough though x

Lozzaaaaa · 01/12/2022 18:56

@Mummytogirls87 Such good news? Can I ask what evidence you sent please? X

All I sent was a letter that confirms she’s been diagnosed with Autism and another letter from her Psychologist saying she’s been diagnosed with a learning disability xx

My sons scan date is the same rang yesterday and was told could be next week or week after so glad you got your decision now it’s a eager wait xxx

I rang them yesterday to see if there was any updates and was told it’s not been looked at yet so was really shocked when the decision maker phoned me this morning then got a text about 40 minutes later. Good luck I hope you hear something very soon xx

Roxmum14 · 01/12/2022 17:14

@Mumof2Asd1 my scan date is oct 7th!

Mumof2Asd1 · 01/12/2022 17:14

Hi all

Just got off the phone from DLA office (new claim) they are working on 5th Sept scan dates at the moment so as our scan was 5th October we have about another month of waiting 🙁

Thank u x

@Mummytolucia 27th of September? Wow I thought it was just up to end of august/ beginning of September

Mummytolucia · 01/12/2022 15:44

I agree fah66 I've seen people with 27th September being awarded we are 20th so it seems the whole system is just unfair in every way there's also people from August still waiting.

Fah66 · 01/12/2022 15:28

It sounds like they picking and choosing which ones to deal with. People from before certain dates are still waiting. How is that fair

EandPMama · 01/12/2022 15:16

They called me from an 0800 number not a witheld

Momsboys7 · 01/12/2022 14:28

Hi everyone when the dla call if they do is it a with held number does anyone know plz ,,, also well done to all who have been awarded and good luck to all waiting mine is 5th Sept scan date x

Lozzaaaaa · 01/12/2022 14:10

@Mummytogirls87 Oh that’s wonderful!!! Just before Xmas! So glad the wait is finally over for you x

Mummytogirls87 · 01/12/2022 14:06

Lozzaaaaa · 01/12/2022 13:45

@Mummytogirls87 Congratulations!! Was it a renewal or new claim?

New claim so glad the long wait is finally over my daughters been awarded HRC and LRM until 2027 still can’t believe it xx

Toobusy3 · 01/12/2022 13:50

My scan date was the 2nd September, rung today to update that DS has now has a blue badge due to his heart(unable to claim mobility component as hes not 3 yet)

Told me is with decision maker and would receive a text with outcome, very anxious as he has heart condition(needs open heart surgery) and is under speech therapy, portage etc so hopefully enough evidence was sent.

Lozzaaaaa · 01/12/2022 13:45

@Mummytogirls87 Congratulations!! Was it a renewal or new claim?

Helen122 · 01/12/2022 12:15

@xxAmy the renewal form is similar cant remember the the first form properly but there was a question that said has the disability need changed which i think isnt on the first form. Anyone here got response from renewal form?

Mummytogirls87 · 01/12/2022 12:06

SRog · 01/12/2022 09:29

Looking at the timings i think I still have another week or so to wait, my scan date was the 5th Sept and I can’t see that they have started on September yet. I’m hoping I’ve sent enough evidence. The wait is awful, kicking myself for it sending the form sooner. Hope everyone who hears today gets the answer they want x

The decision maker called me this morning to ask about my daughters night time routine I received a text about 40 mins later saying she qualifies. Our scan date is September 6th xx
