Hi guys, I got through after 1hr 20. I am in absolute bits. My boy has been awarded HRC and LRM from his 5th Birthday in Dec. I can not believe it! I am so overwhelmed, i genuinely thought he would be declined. Scan date 16/6 xx

Marie984 · 18/10/2023 16:52

Been a long time thread reader so just wanted to thank you all for sort of keeping me sane..
applied forms 30/5
scan date 15/6
further info sent 18/8
went to case manager 13/10
18/10 still no decision yet 🤦🏻‍♀️
text messages received 21/8 and 12/9

this is for my son with adhd.. not officially diagnosed yet awaiting CAMHS but private Qb test results very high so sent that and full report from school about his issues etc i suffer with anxiety so this has been a complete nightmare but glad hopefully 🤞 the end is in sight…

Gem013 · 18/10/2023 16:05

Does anyone know if the systems up and running again? I swore to myself that i wouldn't call again today after finding out we was with a DM yesterday but here I am, 25 minutes deep into that god damn music that I can literally hear in my sleep nowadays 🤣

I got a call at around 2.30 and the systems were up and running then, best of luck x

zoeybrooks45 · 18/10/2023 16:17

Anyone know how long for backdate for universal credit? I’ve received a message saying they are waiting for verification.

@Mumtotwoboys121 congrats so happy you’ve received good news xx

4LittleFirecrackers · 18/10/2023 15:56

@Mummyrach13 @Lollypops88 @Mumofthree003 my scan dates 30th June - exact same text dates. We must be in the same batch

We’re probably all in the same holding pile before going to a DM, we can get each other through these last few weeks x

@Luevzamum I'm giving them a call so I'll let uno what they say about coc xx

Keddie · 18/10/2023 15:58

I am worried I have not sent off enough details. My daughter is diagnosed and under the care of the Pediatrician . I gave all of the hospital contact details and highlighted her daily struggles along with a witness statement from a family member to back up how her condition has affected my daughter mentally. Its taken over 12 months to get a diagnosis after going back and forth to Doctors and Hospital. 50% attendance last year at school. this process is too stressful!

4LittleFirecrackers · 18/10/2023 15:56

@Mummyrach13 @Lollypops88 @Mumofthree003 my scan dates 30th June - exact same text dates. We must be in the same batch

Lollypops88 · 18/10/2023 15:50

Mummyrach13 · 18/10/2023 15:47

Lollypops88 · 18/10/2023 15:36

snowy922 · 18/10/2023 15:24

Those who have called to find out, can you keep us updated on how long it takes to receive the letter with your award details please? I’m not going to get chance to call this week now and getting quite anxious.

Scan date 16/6

I've been awarded!!! 19/06 scan date. HRC and HRM for my little boy who's leg was amputated last year. Cried on the phone, still convinced they've given me the wrong persons rates or something despite going through a million security questions!Grin

Good luck everyone ❤️

Congratulations huge relief for you. 🎊 take it their systems are back up and running now 🙂

purplepandas · 18/10/2023 15:17

Joining in here and taking a pew. 4th July scan for me, I know I have a wait! Good luck all, the wait is intense. How is the situation so bad?
