Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

@MilaMom no way really? They send mine off! I did use another address though, it was the post site in wolves? I was told to send it straight there! Keep phoning lovely!

@Alasitsme congrats!

@roki scanned onto the system lovely. I was so close to going to a decision maker so needed it in on time so I sent it tracked & signed! They recieved it the next day and I rang up to make sure it had been scanned on as I wanted it looked at when it went to the DM! He double checked and said they had it & they attached it to my claim! Persistence is key. Anyone sending evidence in tracked, keep phoning and requesting for it to be added asap as some people get told it can take weeks to assign it to the claim.

I sent it but the guy at the post office didn't let me send it next day and tracked. He said is a freepost address so we are not supposed to do that... So I sent normally unfortunately. :(

UPDATE: text received to say my child has been awarded! However, no details of what, and now the phone lines are engaged so I can't find out!!

Text says: "We've decided your child qualifies for Disability Living Allowance. You don't need to contact us about this. We'll send you a letter with all you need to know. If you don't get this within 2 weeks please contact us."

Scan date 6/7

Any suggestions of the optimum time to call again to avoid phones being engaged?

Congratulations!!!!
Try calling later but you can have some peace now knowing that is a positive result.

Same dates as me ❤️

@Rebeccanew good luck hun! I don't understand how randomly people get awarded so soon, just seen on the Facebook page someone has been awarded from 13th July, they had only waited 16 weeks! Xx

Edited

I think it must be straight forward ones, with a lot of documents submited so they don't need to call anyone or check any info. I think some must take longer because they might need to call drs or things like that.
That is why I requested my sons dr to send me a clinical letter with all the information regarding him on the system.
I guess that is it so I tried to send a lot, but no idea why it actually is quicker for some.

MangoPepsiLover · 08/11/2023 10:22

@Mammyto4c I have same date as you I was going to hold off ringing until 18 weeks, but I've just seen you've been told 19 so might wait even longer.

MilaMom · 08/11/2023 10:20

Mammyto4c · 08/11/2023 06:42

My scan date is 18/07 last text 16/10 16 weeks today wait. I rang yesterday and they told me 19 weeks wait and not to call back untill end of November 🙈

I'm a week after you, so I guess the first week of December for me.
Hoping to have this still before Christmas, who knows.

Doymum · 08/11/2023 10:19

I was so tempted to call today but holding off until Friday, it seems they keep changing their minds about wait times etc I think I will try and take my mind off it now.

Kelz23 · 08/11/2023 10:18
