@Mummyof5kiddos I didn't send any evidence in with the form. Then I called up and spoke to a guy and told him what evidence I could get as in the ieps. He said well iep school reports are very good evidence. So I sent them in.
I'm praying it's enough! But if not I'm thinking at least I will more to send for MR. Hopefully this time next week we will have our decision!

@Cheesywiggles
I’m still waiting from 5/7
Was told its with a dm today
good luck!!

Mummyof5kiddos · 10/11/2023 10:42

@Hardingcl it sounds like your claim is very similar to mine, but ive only sent cahms referral with my form he shows obvious signs of adhd, anxiety maybe some asd, dyslexia and waiting on speech therapy still, my ep report is going the be here 2-3 weeks so probably won’t be back in time to send in

Xsam1985x · 10/11/2023 10:38

Waiting from 07/07 scan date so 18 weeks today, have held off calling up to now but not sure if I should or just wait until Monday/Tuesday and see if we hear anything, the wait these last few days has been awful just want to know either way lol x

Mommaof2babas · 10/11/2023 10:37

@househead13 are you still on hold? X

Loui5 · 10/11/2023 10:31

Congratulations xx

Cheesywiggles · 10/11/2023 10:31

Am I the only one here still waiting from 6/7? Was told yesterday it was with a DM but the lady wouldn't tell me when it was sent to them 🙈 Debating whether to call again later but feel like I'm hassling them if I do! Does anyone know on average how long it can be with a dm? Most people seem to hear quite quickly from what I've seen.

Loui5 · 10/11/2023 10:30

Im 14/7 was told today its just a matter of days now not weeks, looking at monday tuesday x

Toni1228 · 10/11/2023 10:20

Thanks, I haven’t had any txt but have received 2 letters both in October. It’s all just so confusing sometimes as reading people from scan dates July only getting 2nd letter in October so didn’t know if to expect another one with only being 8 weeks in and having 2 already x

Kaymumof4 · 10/11/2023 10:17

I'm 10/07 and was awarded yesterday

Mommaof2babas · 10/11/2023 10:17

@Toni1228 you get one with a scan date and then a further one a few weeks later and you usually get 2 texts aswell!

Doymum · 10/11/2023 10:17

Anyone scan date10/7 last text 2/10 been awarded today?

Mommaof2babas · 10/11/2023 10:16

@househead13 12.07 so few days behind you, I phoned last Friday and on Monday and got told will be end of this week or Monday, the wait is excruciating isn't it!!!x

househead13 · 10/11/2023 10:12

7/7 for me bab, what about you? Xx

Toni1228 · 10/11/2023 10:12

New here 🤚 I’m a little confused with how it all works my scan date was 12/9 so ages to go I know but when people are saying about 2 letters is this including the one with your scan date or 2 more after that thanks

Mommaof2babas · 10/11/2023 10:11

44 minutes!😂 hopefully not much longer now!! What's your scan date?

househead13 · 10/11/2023 10:08

Yeah me for the last 45 min 😂 How long have you been on hold?

Well done to the lovely lady just been awarded ❤️

Mommaof2babas · 10/11/2023 10:00

Is anyone still on hold?

Hardingcl · 10/11/2023 09:54

@Mummyof5kiddos yeah my last tex was 16/10 I called Monday and the guy said it should be with a decision maker next week by 17weeks.

I sent 6 ieps reports, a ot appointment letter as that's all I had but in next few weeks I will have ot and ep reports and confirmation of referral onto adhd pathway. If needed for MR although I'm really hoping i won't need them 🙏

Mummyof5kiddos · 10/11/2023 09:51

@Hardingcl was your last text date 16/10 aswell? 17/7 seems to be in a different pile there last text date was 9/10

Mommaof2babas · 10/11/2023 09:50

Awh thank you for replying! I bet your glad you phoned today! Congratulations again!!!

TheClassicCollection · 10/11/2023 09:48

Mommaof2babas · 10/11/2023 09:47

@TheClassicCollection awh congratulations on your award!!! Did you get any text at all or did you just phone for update?

Nope, no text at all. If I hadn't have called then I wouldn't have known until I received the back payment. So so relieved

Mommaof2babas · 10/11/2023 09:47

@TheClassicCollection awh congratulations on your award!!! Did you get any text at all or did you just phone for update?

TheClassicCollection · 10/11/2023 09:46

Just got off the phone. We have been been awarded! HRC - decision was made two days ago.

Scan date was 06/07
Last text was 02/10.
Did not receive the "qualified" text.

Good luck too all of those still waiting, if anyone has the same scan date as me - try and call :)

Rosegoldsunshine88 · 10/11/2023 09:45

13/7
Most pointless call feeling deflated once again not sure why I'm doing this to myself 🤦‍♀️ was told my extra evidence has not been scanned on, was told that it can take up to 4 weeks, and that I should not worry as they are currently only on very early July dates and that mine will not be looked at until the end of this month, iv had enough not sure why we are all told different things
