Thread following on from part 27

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I wouldn't hold back putting in a claim, you could potentially be missing out on extra £££ needed for your child. I kno the form is very very daunting itself and its hard to put down in words but i think the sooner you can the better, im happy to help anyone struggling with their claim who Is similar to my 2yr old daughter ASD. Plenty of examples to use xx

Thank you. I'm waiting to hear back on a claim for my eldest (scan date 25/10), so I thought it might be sensible to see how that one goes first in case I've not done a good enough job of the forms. But then I'm just prolonging the wait! I don't know what is for the best at the moment.

@Holllymum i wrote my son’s name, DOB & reference number on top of each piece of paper x

GirlMamasClub · 01/02/2024 19:16

@27Rosie16 I haven’t as of yet, i’m actually planning on calling tomorrow with a change of circumstances in terms of medication that’s now been prescribed

Holllymum · 01/02/2024 19:16

To anyone that’s sent more evidence in do you send it in with the reference number?

27Rosie16 · 01/02/2024 19:05

@GirlMamasClub Have you phoned up at all?

GirlMamasClub · 01/02/2024 18:55

@Steven19uk congratulations! My scan date is 3/10. I’m praying my little girl is soon 🙏🏻

UsernameUnavailable12 · 01/02/2024 18:48

Margot82x · 01/02/2024 18:29

012345k · 01/02/2024 18:27

Scan date 24/11, I know I have a long wait but do we know roughly what date they are at currently?

27Rosie16 · 01/02/2024 18:13

Steven19uk · 01/02/2024 18:03

Oh my gosh, been lurking for a long time!

awarded today despite calling yesterday and saying not with any decision makers yet
over the moon!!!

@Steven19uk aww yay! I'm a day after you so hopefully I'll hear news soon.

Amycroft · 01/02/2024 18:12

@Jesslou37 yes exactly my point we would d be getting a letter or a call I done mine 2 days ago and written on the journal twice and nothing back as of yet🙄

Jesslou37 · 01/02/2024 16:51

@Amycroft the carers element will be added on no problem, it's the back payment of money that needs to be looked at. Not sure what takes them so long as they can see on the system it's been awarded🙄 they'd be quick enough to demand money off us if was overpayed. I'm going to add a note on journal tomorrow and ask what the time scale is for a decision then how long for a payment x

Amycroft · 01/02/2024 16:40

@Jesslou37 omg so more waiting then! Didn't realise this goes to a DM too juat thought it was a certain thing they gave you🙄

Chattycatty · 01/02/2024 16:40

Hi hope its ok just to jump in with a question. We've just had our renewal accepted and he's been awarded high rate care and low rate mobility he was previously on mid rate care. Do I need to tell tax credit about the change in payments?

DalesDoll1 · 01/02/2024 16:38

I've also been following for a while, and we also have the same scan date, 29/9. Haven't rung to chase. Just hoping our little guy is successful for the claim he so needs. Thank you for your update, hoping it won't be too long until we hear something too.

Jonesy0102 · 01/02/2024 10:31

Ashh1998 · 01/02/2024 16:28

@Sharniexxx7 thanks so much, just paranoid I was lied to on the phone 😂 they can't do that, can they?😂😂

Sharniexxx7 · 01/02/2024 16:26

I was told today mine was aslo rewarded on tuesday and that payment will be in hopefully tomorrow friday or Tuesday at the latest.

Ashh1998 · 01/02/2024 16:17

Hi all, was told yesterday on the phone we've been awarded on Tuesday, am I right in thinking the back pay takes 3-5 days as we haven't had a payment yet, and it looks like everyone who's been awarded has had theirs 😂

Lolly966 · 01/02/2024 16:17

i was just wondering do you call to find out you’ve been declined or do they send you a letter? I’ve still got along wait ahead of me yet as my scan date is 20/11 x

Sharniexxx7 · 01/02/2024 16:06

PixieBach · 01/02/2024 15:43

My just turned 3 year old rips her toe nails off too. Horrid isn't it? I'm glad you got your award. I've not applied for her yet, she's just been referred to neurodevelopmental.

Hi I have been watching the thread for a long time now and have never commented but wanted to say my son has been awarded MRC and LRM today after I rang. Scan date was 29/9. It was awarded on the 30th of Jan.

Tip for any Welsh speakers when ringing, use the Welsh option as I got through straight away to a very lovely man.

Good luck to you all.

DitzySmeagol · 01/02/2024 15:48

1h38mins on hold.... our systems are updating and only some of us have access to upload new details... of course the person I got through to was not one of them 😂Told to call again next week, did say was looking around 18 weeks mark at the minute, so that'll be around12/02. Scan date 10/10

Jesslou37 · 01/02/2024 15:46

@Amycroft 2 weeks ago tomorrow I updated uc, I followed it up a week later asking if the carers element will be added on automatically and what about back pay and she said its with a dm and will keep me posted. I popped into the jobcentre and seen someone who added on the carers element to my claim
