Thats ridiculous! My son has no diagnosis. I only attached his IEP which I got from the school SENCO
I'm sure they say when applying no diagnosis is needed..u should phone up and try appealing

Rebeccanew · 07/11/2023 15:08

Ohh @Shezza8507 I really wouldn’t belive hag they said because they have done most dates on 4/5th I’d say yours will be close xxxx

The wait times ridiculous
Has anyone on here ever applied for family fund? I was granted a cash award for day trips but its been around 4 days not received it

I applied for family fund but was declined a few days later saying we didn’t qualify without a diagnosis 🫣

@Asdmummyhere its confusing isn’t it! I’m sure they would have seen there is writing on both sides and scanned them on? I printed the document out myself and did it double sided so hopefully they will have scanned both on 😅 x

Thank you, does this include the envelope aswell or just on thr papers inside? X

It won’t need to go on the envelope. Just on the top of each individual piece of paper as Mummyrach said:)

Oh my god! That's insane thats the longest they've said this week so far 😅 was anything between 17-19 now you've been told 19.5! I fully give up now 🤣🤣🤣 xx

@Rebeccanew if I remember right @Shezza8507 scan date was before ours 🤣😅 I think the 7th!? Xx

Rebeccanew · 07/11/2023 14:15

Hi @Shezza8507 what’s your scan date? 19half weeks? Xxxxxx

Mummyrach13 · 07/11/2023 14:12

@Mrsstephens04 no I didn’t put it on the envelope just inside on each paper, I sent about 6 different lots of evidence at different times and all like that, signed for too the address and they were all uploaded to my Claim within a matter of days x

Mrsstephens04 · 07/11/2023 14:10

Mummyrach13 · 07/11/2023 14:09

@Mrsstephens04 name, date of birth and ni number/ ref on the top of every page. X

Mrsstephens04 · 07/11/2023 13:45

Following from last thread, for anyone who's sent extra evidence am I right in thinking I've read I'd need to put ref number on the envelope along with child's name & DOB underneath the postal address? Or have i made this up?

Ollysmomma · 07/11/2023 13:39

Thanks for the new thread @Billie1993 ❤️

scan date 18/7

I’m going to try hold out ringing till the 18th if I haven’t heard anything!!
Good luck to everyone waiting xx
