Hi, here is hoping! I home educate my daughter, as she suffers hugely from school anxiety. If we are awarded (would be heartbreaking if rejected after waiting this long), the money would help immensely for her education.

@Emsale83 Hi! 👋 I’m a couple of days ahead of you. Hopefully won’t be much longer now 🙏🏻

Jude82 · 15/11/2023 08:44

@Mamatoepilepsyboy congratulations! What a lovely surprise for you! Good luck getting through for rates :)

Emsale83 · 15/11/2023 08:43

Hi all, first time posting! I have 4 children, one on highest rate PIP for both components, Down Syndtome. I'm on week 15 waiting for a DLA decision for my 14 year old diagnosed ASD, scan date 31/7. I thought it was assessed in date order, but I have seen that some have been awarded with newer scan dates than others, which is interesting? I haven't bothered to phone for updates yet, as some have been waiting longer than me, and the times you have mentioned for waiting has put me off calling. Just thought I would join the land of many and say Hi.

@Sskanf i really don’t understand how yours isn’t with a decision maker as of yet! It bloody should be! It’s so draining this process but k wouldn’t belive what all say hun xxxxxxx

Sskanf · 15/11/2023 08:08

@Rebeccanew I don't think I'll be ringing today although I'm 18 weeks. I asked the man whether ill go to a DM this week he said he highly doubted it
Good luck I really hope u get an answer today x

Rebeccanew · 15/11/2023 08:05

Cas1233455 · 15/11/2023 07:43

Scan date 06/07 and still not heard anything. Called last week and they said it would be done by the end of the week. Wednesday today and nothing :( so weird that people with dates a week ahead of me have already heard back. Perhaps another call is due 😭😭

Clairexdx · 15/11/2023 07:38

@Mamatoepilepsyboy congrats. This is also my scan date and last text date. So I’m hoping this week :/ x

Sskanf · 15/11/2023 07:31

Morning all

Scan date - 14/7
Last text - 9/10

I've been a long time lurker here but I woke up a happy surprise of backpay in my bank!!

I didn't recieve any texts to say my son qualified and I haven't called so not sure when he was awarded.

So glad the wait is finally over.

Good look to everyone still waiting

Rebeccanew · 15/11/2023 06:40

I’m up school run and appointments today will try and call at 9 I’m over 18 weeks now..good luck all on awards and calling today xxxxxx

Looloo12332 · 15/11/2023 05:33

May I ask how old your little one is and if he can read?I know its a random question but I really worry about my little one never learning to read 😭

Asdmummyhere · 15/11/2023 00:23

@puzzleme5 I was awarded Thursday and received backpay today xx

Vikz37 · 14/11/2023 23:17

@Sskanf I was awarded today and it was 15 weeks and 5 days.

puzzleme5 · 14/11/2023 22:53

@Clairexdx good luck, hopefully you'll hear in the next couple of days. My scan date was actually 13th not 12th so only a day behind me!
@Rebeccanew thank you

puzzleme5 · 14/11/2023 22:51

@Asdmummyhere I've seen you were awarded last week, congrats! Just wanted to ask how long after you received the text did you receive the funds in your bank account if you have already?

puzzleme5 · 14/11/2023 22:49

@Sskanf thank you. Would of been 18 weeks on Wednesday

Sskanf · 14/11/2023 22:45

@puzzleme5 @Cheesywiggles just read through thread and seen you both have awards congratulations 🎊
Also if possible those that have been awarded at how many weeks was that? I'm 17 weeks + 6 days and thought I'd be with a dm by now

funinthesun19 · 14/11/2023 22:37

Asdmummyhere · 14/11/2023 21:04

@funinthesun19 sorry just seen September. Have you had any texts, seems around 5 weeks after 2nd text xx

I’ve had two texts now. The 2nd one was on the 31st of October.

Mummyof5kiddos · 14/11/2023 22:31

@MangoPepsiLover hey, I’m the same scan date as you, I’ve not heard anything yet either, I think It will be next week🤞it seems like there doing the week before us this week, this week is going to drag so much for us, I’m going to hold off calling til 18 weeks but please let me know if you do call, it will be interesting to find out what they say

Sophiesmilesxx · 14/11/2023 22:30

I think ill have to, ive got a feeling its a decline but fingers crossed 🤞 my son has adhd (both types) as well has many other learning difficulties. I piled in a load of evidence when i sent the forms. Ill update when i know more x

Jude82 · 14/11/2023 22:18

@Sophiesmilesxx I’d bite the bullet and call lovely. You may be on hold a while and so best to call at 9am on the dot but you should ( I’d hope) get some clarity with a 12/07 date if you can get through. Good luck 🤞
