Week 16, 3 weeks from last txt. Scan date 27/07, txts 02/10 and 23/10. Newcastle.
Not ringing today but just updating with my info as I’ve eventually seen an award for my date and also some with my date that are now with DM or CM.
The claim was so long ago I’m entering the dreaded did I add enough info, what did I even say in the form stage…. 😞 I don’t remember. I do know I provided SEN school plans, Ed Psych reports, CAHMS letter and Private Autism diagnosis report. Feeling nervous now and just hoping I’ve explained enough 🙏🏻

Looloo12332 · 14/11/2023 08:34

Hopefully we won't have to wait much longer.I had a parents evening yesterday they told me my dd is really struggling and not coping at all in mainstream 😢 I feel awful sending her daily knowing she don't understand any of the work its hard on us all if she was under 5 I would keep her home.Im going to ask for reduced hours at school now

Geegee1506 · 14/11/2023 07:56

Hi been watching this thread for a while now.

Scan date 18/7
First text 25/9
Second text 16/10

17 weeks today, rang last week was told 17.5 weeks and I should know by the third week of November. Sooo tempted to ring back but think I'll wait til Friday. Also asked them to send me a text but as I've read not everyone sends texts so guess it's just a waiting game.

Fingers crossed everyone gets the answers they are hoping for 🤞🏼

Clairexdx · 14/11/2023 07:41

@Sskanf good luck il check to see how it goes :) x

Mummyto2lads · 14/11/2023 07:40

I’m seeing more and more to suggest it’s different in different areas which obviously it shouldn’t be but it looks that way - some people 15 week some 18 weeks some 5 weeks after last text- it’s definitely not the same for everyone

Sskanf · 14/11/2023 07:33

@Clairexdx i will be calling today to.see if mines with a DM atleast, i seen a few awards om here made around 17+3 and at 5 weeks after the txt so you never know today may be your day

BoyGirlMomxox · 14/11/2023 07:31

@Mummyto2lads 18th October not even had a letter yet 😂 I sent extra evidence last week so need to check they've got that x

Clairexdx · 14/11/2023 07:18

My texts were 19/9 and 9/10 scan date 14/7
im hoping this week I get an answer! It’s been over 5 weeks since last text and 17 and 4 days since scanned. This last two weeks have dragged!! X

Mammyofboys4 · 14/11/2023 07:13

Hi all, I've been watching the thread for a while, congratulations to everyone that's had their awards.
Scan date is 28/07 so hopefully I've not got much longer to wait.
Last text 23/10
I phoned last Friday and was told to call again in 2-3 weeks as its taking 17-18 weeks, not sure I'll be able wait that long to call again though so will probably ring again Friday.

Mummyto2lads · 14/11/2023 07:06

BoyGirlMomxox · 14/11/2023 07:02

Mummyto2lads · 14/11/2023 06:55

How long is it between texts? I have 2 claims pending for both my boys . ASD. I have received one letter for my youngest and a text message but that doesn’t say what child it’s for but I’m guessing my eldest- what was everyone’s wait between texts ?
