@Sr1984 same date. Been with dm since last week. Not sure if good or bad sign.

Mummytolucia · 13/12/2022 12:55

I called up as my daughter now has her draft ehcp so they said to send it ASAP this week as her case is going to DM soon. I sent in originally Ed psychologist report adhd assesment findings senco info school report and head teacher wrote in the part about somebody who's know her. The drafted ehcp shows so much info about her needs and shows just how much she needs vs a normal child her age. I'm hoping with that and the above it will be enough evidence.

@TheaandNellymummy I sent in report from paediatrician, report from SALT, I got SENCO to fill in a bit on the form, education psychologist report, letter saying he’s awaiting assessment for ASD, individual education plan and then when it arrived a copy of his draft EHCP. I was so worried though as I didn’t feel I put a great deal on his form. I found it so overwhelming only used the paper on the form. I know other people had sent extra x

I received payment today. Was told on phone Friday last week that she got high rate care and no mobility. Still no letter so
dont know when it is awarded til.
@TheaandNellymummy I didn’t send it anything. Just filled out the form as detailed as I could.

That's amazing I'm Soo happy for you! I've sent similar documents this time so it's just a waiting game now 🫤

Congratulations! Can I ask what evidence you sent In? I have dla for my eldest daughter and awaiting response for my youngest but feel that maybe they are not awarding as highly as they used to as my daughter has hrc with little evidence sent 🤷

I sent autism assessment/ diagnosis and sensory processing disorder assessment/diagnosis. The OT filled out the part on the form about anyone else who knows your child. I sent no evidence from school as they’re useless, as is the SENCO and we don’t have an EHCP or anything. I was worried that they’d call school because school thought I was crazy until we got the diagnosis.

I phoned this morning took 40mins on hold but my daughter got awarded MRC and LRM until 2026. I was expecting a 2024 renewal but happy I don’t have to go through this again until 2026!

I sent in the paeds report, portage letter and letter from sleep consultant. I’ve got her diagnosis letter and a dietician report ready for if we needed to do a MR but we received the letter today and have been awarded HRC so no need.

Mummyto2gorggirls · 13/12/2022 10:52

Had anyone been awarded yet from the 19th-26th September yet? Or had it back quicker than 12 weeks?

Morning. Long time lurker but so people can try and keep up with dates, my scan date was 12th Sept and I’ve received a payment in my bank today. No text and no letter.

Amylou7 · 13/12/2022 10:04

i’m curious, how long did everyone wait for an acknowledgement notification? I sent my forms back in October and haven’t had any response at all.

Gemz8 · 13/12/2022 10:00

@Losttheplot1 thank you! Good luck guys xx

Losttheplot1 · 13/12/2022 09:46

Good luck everyone waiting today... Congratulations @Gemz8

Gemz8 · 13/12/2022 09:31

@Mummytolucia thank you. Hopefully you hear something soon x

Mummytolucia · 13/12/2022 08:55

Congratulations Gemma. We are 12 weeks today.

Gemz8 · 13/12/2022 05:47

Worked it out again it looks like I have got LRM xx

Gemz8 · 13/12/2022 05:35

Hi guys,
so I’ve woken up this morning, checked my bank and I’ve been awarded! Quite a bit of backpay. I’ve worked it out as MRC. It looks like I’ve been given more than that not enough that I would have been given mobility if that makes sense. Could just be me and my maths though haha. My date was 14th sept and I’ve seen a few be awarded for those dates now. Hang in there guys. Slowly but surely looks like they’re getting there. Fingers crossed for everyone waiting today. I hope you all get the outcome you’re after for your little ones xx

Mam2mcc · 12/12/2022 21:01

Hopefully not much longer

mammaov3 · 12/12/2022 20:16
