I called today. My claim has been declined. I have requested a mandatory reconsideration as I do not feel anything was taken into account and assumptions had been made incorrectly.

MissEllie2 · 23/11/2022 15:51

@Hollymumtothree definitely give them a call

ChantelleB · 23/11/2022 15:09

My scan date is 12 September, I was told in the next 2 to 3 weeks it will be looked at.

Wintersmummy96 · 22/11/2022 22:06

Scan date 26th September, I’m guessing I’m going to be waiting a while last time I rang I got told waiting times 13 weeks then 12 weeks then 13 weeks again so I’m guessing middle to end of December minus the bank holidays

Lozzaaaaa · 22/11/2022 21:17

I called today and a lady told me they never know what date they are up to. It really depends who you talk to doesn’t it

Hi all,
Long time lurker. Sent dla form end Sept, never known dla to take so long which is how I found this thread. I'm going to ring tomorrow to check what date they recieved it but I know I'm in for the long haul this time. Hope everyone gets answers promptly.

Same they reviewed mine 29th Sept I think and the other day I had a letter apologising for the wait 🙄

Shellbel10 · 22/11/2022 20:54

Had you sent much evidence prior to this. Sorry for all the questions

Joanne2016 · 22/11/2022 20:25

Shellbel10 · 22/11/2022 19:30

Did you send in any extra evidence and do the cover letter yourself?

only a new cover letter explaining a day with my DD and then I said I would take this to appeal if I had to.

Joanne2016 · 22/11/2022 19:16

Hi everyone,

Shellbel10 · 22/11/2022 16:49

@Kay96 are you going to do a mr any idea how long these are taking. Great news all yous that have been awarded

MissEllie2 · 22/11/2022 16:34

@Meli3 Yes I’m so happy for everyone! Also happy birthday to your little girl, I hope she had a wonderful day today.

@Lozzaaaaa I sent his ASD assessment report, diagnosis, SEND plans from over the years + up to date one, sleep diary, had a close TA to him fill in the professional part (she did an amazing job filling it in for me) and I’ll be honest I can’t remember the rest as it was back in august! I honestly didn’t think I would get much but I know he deserves it. Was expecting a fight x

Meli3 · 22/11/2022 15:33

@MissEllie2 my girl is 7 today I'm very very pleased for her and for you and your son and to everyone else been awarded x
