dla part 11

Hi hope everyone is well. I've just discovered this forum, my scan date is 01.03.23
I'm at the same stage as you @Peachlollipop I've also just received the same text message as yourself and the same one last week.I didn't realise you can call, but I did last week and was told 14 weeks.
I hope everyone gets the results their children deserve

Had another text this morning saying they are still looking at it and not to contact them. That text was sent only 5 days after the last text saying the exact same thing.

The most stressful thing ever never again will I do this 😭 good luck xx

@Unknown123qw aww thank you! It really is a stressful wait isn’t it

@Mumto2sengirlsxx @upthewallmumof3 have you had any updates? I’m on hold now😅

Hopefully they give u better news this afternoon fingers crossed for you xx

@TiredOfCleaning wow 15 weeks! Mine said 12 on the letter I’m almost at 13 weeks now, so hoping not much longer

@Unknown123qw yeah I’m gonna try calling this afternoon and see what excuse I get this time lol I’d be surprised if they have a decision or if it’s with a DM tbh

Thanks so much. :) We finally got the letter on Saturday, It's saying 15 weeks and don't ring. (Yeah, like I won't be ringing from week 13!!)

I'd ring and just say listen use keep telling me all different things what is actually going on and can u tell me when it will be with a DM Ur on about 13 weeks now arnt you

@Unknown123qw yeah I’m still waiting scam date 16/02. Think I may call today at some point but I think I’ll probably be told to wait another 2 weeks again

Oh for god sake they don't half mess around I don't believe them coz they sed that to me on Friday told me I had another 4 weeks wait then I was awarded that day..what's Ur scan date

I rang today and got told they have been updated this morning and the wait time is 14 and a half weeks

AV u still not been awarded? I'd ring today and ask what's going on coz I got award d last week with a scan date of 20/2 x

The start of another week waiting….
who’s being brave and calling to check for a update today lol

@Mummytofivegirls 😱

@upthewallmumof3 no I don't think they are open tomorrow so it will be Monday now xx

@Mummytofivegirls amazing! I missed a call today while I'm work on an unknown number, I'm guessing it was them as other posters have said that's how they call, does anyone know if they are open tomorrow? Don't think my nerves can take waiting till Monday xx

I had to ring them and ask for a text message xx

@Nicole12345 im so glad you have his nursery on your side hopefully he is assessed quickly and gets all support he deserves without you having to fight to much! I really dislike how much we all have to fight for our children... yes please keep me updated!! Thank you so much i really appreciate that i wish your son all the best too bless him!! Ill let you know if i hear anything about our claim next week... @J8231 ah thats good it must be whenever your claim is sorted if its done before 5pm they send the message, i got a message weeks ago saying they are still looking at it but i dont know whether ill get the text about the outcome ive heard not everyone gets it... xxx

Mine is to but I’m only on week 7 so I’ve got a long way to go

@Mumto2sengirlsxx My sons scan date 6th Feb was done Tuesday I got the text message at 4.53, I always thought you got the message first thing but they must send it as its been worked hope your not waiting much longer.

@Mumto2sengirlsxx yeah his nursery is really good I can’t complain about them, they are pushing too. I’m lucky he will have his assessment in the next few month and his consultant has already basically said she believes he is autistic so it’s good to have the support from her and she’s offered lots of different tests too. It’s all the other sides that come with it like speech and language 🤦🏼‍♀️ it’s almost like nobody actually wants to help and just wants you to watch videos or join an online course. I’ll fight every step of the way to ensure he has what he needs but it would be nice to not have to.
yeah I’m lucky we are doing his EHCP so early as he’s only 2.5 years old. I think being on the ball so much has helped as I’m constantly calling and checking on all his appointments to ensure he’s not missed or delayed longer than necessary.
aww I totally get that worrying feeling you’re having the bonus is you know what you are doing the second time around and you won’t let them fob you off. You know your child better than anyone else and you will always fight for them even when we don’t have the strength to! I wish you and your girls the best of luck with everything.
if I hear anything about his claim I’ll let you know 😊🤞xx

@Nicole12345 tbh i got really lucky the school are amazing they pushed for diagnosis, testing, and the EHCP and i havent had to argue for anything... think ill have more of a fight for my youngest who the school think has adhd but shes also just been diagnosed with hypermobility so im presuming hers will be more of a fight whereas its been so easy for my eldest considering all the horror stories ive heard and seen other parents have to go through its terrible!! I hope your childs EHCP goes through nicely i hated the wait of it but its worth it for the support they get with it... i hope your dla form goes great too xxx

@TiredOfCleaning mine took around a month to come so I wouldn’t worry to much. You can always give them a call just to confirm and get a scan date so you can keep track of the timeframe
