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!! What a relief for you xx

Hey 👋🏻

Been lurking, now parking...

Scan date 11/7
First text 19/9
Second text 9/10

Son is awaiting diagnosis for ASD and ADHD and was born with a rare condition of his oesophagus and windpipe. Had DLA before for him but my own problems at the time of renewal meant I couldn't cope with the forms so it ended. Fingers crossed he gets his MRC back at least. His feeding is easier but still requires supervision.. his behaviour and attention have got miles worse and he doesn't sleep despite the melatonin 🤦🏼‍♀️. Also awaiting PIP tribunal for myself so... Very stressful times. I sent in a behaviour type report from school but I'm worried I've not said enough about him at home.

Nice to see other people getting awarded ☺️ Gives a bit of hope. Just crazy the waiting times now. I'm sure my son's was under 12 weeks back in 2015/16.

It's only been 12 weeks today since they received the forms so still a long while to go judging by everyone else's wait times
I've seen a few have been awarded over the last few days so massive congratulations to you all. And best if luck to anyone who's due a decision soon.
Anyone else have the sane scan date as me or close to the same?

Hiya I Also had text 25/09 my scan date is 30/6

im sooo worried we won’t get the help and I can’t return to work as I have twins the one of which I’m claiming for and she’s ng tube fed no nurseries will pass a tube if she pull it out ( which she does 2/3 times a day). It very worrying at this point not to mention the struggle with everything going up in price she also can’t access any sensory classes as she hasn’t got the award yet it’s very frustrating I don’t sleep anyway due to lil one but I’m sure it would cause sleepless nights x

And was putting off my gym with a busy day but i still managed to get 45 mins of my gym session
Helped me alot

But thank you so much for your response

Im not sure when my aplication went to the descion maker as the lady was just helping to calm my emotions

Do you think i should call again tomorrow morning ??

I dont want to be on their case as they are so busy etc
