Following on from part 19 as it’s about to become full.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

SarahHmumof3 · 14/11/2023 21:46

I’m 14th too :)

MangoPepsiLover · 14/11/2023 21:29

Still waiting here, I didn't manage to call today so I'm going to try tomorrow.

17 weeks tomorrow for me, so I think given people have scan dates after me and I've heard nothing it's a no. I'm fine with it, I tried.

Asdmummyhere · 14/11/2023 21:04

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

Asdmummyhere · 14/11/2023 21:03

@funinthesun19 most seem to be around 12/07. However I've seen at-least 3 awarded for 27/07 and one with a dm. What date are you? Xx

funinthesun19 · 14/11/2023 20:48

What scan dates are they currently looking at at the moment? My scan date was 7th September, so I know I have a while to go yet.

Looloo12332 · 14/11/2023 20:13

Thankyou so much.She is 6 and the thinks she has ADHD the Attention deficit not the hyperactive side.She can't read or write not evan her own name and she is in year 2.There is allt of things tbh.She is verbal and to talk to she seems like there is no issues but she has very poor understanding school has said she has no stranger danger and they can no longer supprt her needs as she can't retain any information as she can't stay focused at all
I hate sending her knowing she is struggling so much 😪

Hi. Been watching for a while and ive just decided to join in. I am waiting for DLA for my son. Scan date 12/7, last text 9/10. Congrats to all those that have been awarded. Im still waiting. I suffer with anxiety so i havent gathered the nerves to phone them yet as going by some of the comments, some of the call handlers are not very nice with people. I am tempted to phone tomorrow but i am not sure if i should wait a little longer xx

Mumofepilepsy · 14/11/2023 19:54

Amazing news am 21/7 and they told me it was in holding que. hopefully soon xxx

Looloo12332 · 14/11/2023 19:02

I have a long wait.Do u think I should call and tell them school and me have decided its best for my dd to go into a unit?I didn't out this on the firm but school said she can't cope and she is really struggling.The school is doing a supporting letter and I will send it off as soon as uts done

A supporting letter from the school including what your DC struggles with and why they’re being moved to a unit is extremely helpful. I’d certainly send that off as that’ll strengthen your claim.

There are so many posts on here each day so I may have missed what your DC is struggling with but pls do join us on the SN board if you need any support. Some posters have children the same age as me so they’re extremely experienced😆

Boymum910 · 14/11/2023 19:41

I finally caved and called today, 1hr 20mins on hold, scan date 20/7. Not with a dm yet, hopefully next week or the week after it will be.. the lady on the phone was lovely! I was dreading calling incase I got someone grumpy x

Sskanf · 14/11/2023 18:59

Yes I'm 12/07 and not even with a DM apparently in a pile to go to 1 next week!

Paitentlywaitingnot · 14/11/2023 18:58

Anyone else getting annoyed at the wait. Scan date 13/07. Been told not with dm & can be another 2-3weeks or more and seeing people with later scan dates got a decision is hard. They should keep more contact instead of us feeling like we are inconveniencing them.

Vikz37 · 14/11/2023 18:46

I've just updated tax credits but the phone line cut off just before I could ask will I be backdated from the start of my claim which will be about 18 weeks. Does anyone know if this is the case just incase they don't so I can chase it up.

Mummyto2beautifulangeltwins · 14/11/2023 18:38

My scan date is the 27/7 ,I've rang today due to no correspondence at all apart from a letter to say the claim had been received.
Mine is with the DM at the minute should be before the end of this when a decision is made .

Clairexdx · 14/11/2023 18:29

@puzzleme5 You have the same dates for text and exact times! But my scan date is 14/7. I’m hoping for an answer this week x

Hey, I’m a newbie to the group, my scan date is 19/7. This wait really is a killer!!
Can I ask, I keep seeing posts about carers element on UC, is this for them that are currently on UC?
Im a SAHM so have no earning and my partner works away we don’t claim any kind of benefits so would I be able to put in for the carers element or carers allowance? ( does the entitlement depend on my partners earnings?

Congratulations to all that as been rewarded today and good luck to everyone else.

Exactly that, carers element is in relation to a UC claim. As long as you earn less than £139 a week then you can claim carers allowance if your child is awarded MRC/HRC. The entitlement to carers allowance is based solely on the earnings of the carer. Not the carer AND their partner if that makes sense
