Scan date 19/10 for COC.
I have more evidence to send in, seems I’m still a way off, so shall I send evidence registered post or just send it to the free post address? Thanks x

Thanks FlutterBy. I've got everything crossed for you now.

Hopefully I have an answer by the end of the day, even if it's a decline atleast I'll know where I stand.

I've woken up to a payment which works out exactly as MRC and LRM (plus the £10 Christmas bonus) x 23 weeks. I'm absolutely over the moon for my daughter.

Best of luck to anyone ringing today. Fingers crossed for the awards your children all deserve.

Scan date 29/9

Congratulations!!

Been watching this thread for months! I sent off 2 claims - both scanned 28th Sep. I called on Monday to be told my daughter has been awarded HRC LRM, I nearly hit the floor! Payment had been released on Monday, can anyone advise roughly how long it took to go in the bank please? I see people saying they can see pending payments - have no idea how to look for this! Now just to wait for my son, which they said will be another 4 weeks which makes no sense given they both had the same scan date!

Payment typically takes 3 working days so I'd imagine your money should be in your bank account tomorrow.

Some banks have the ability to show pending payments online. Mine doesn't. I'm with TSB.

Congrats and best of luck with your other claim.

Oh blimey

My scan date was 3/1/24 and I was starting to get frustrated but this has just put it into perspective.
Guess it will be a long waiting game.

Thanks @bell27x this gives me hope we're nearly there! Do you plan on ringing again to chase up? I haven't rang since the beginning to check they'd received it.

I will probably ring again next Tuesday if not heard anything, only day I have off and time to

Randomteddy · 31/01/2024 07:05

Omg!
I’ve got a pending payment!
I’ve looked 4 times to be sure - I’m in shock.
No award text or letter- just pending money

10th is your scan date. And they will backdate your money to the date you called for forms as you got the form in by 13th.

Scan date 19/09 got text this morning saying your child qualifies phoned up this afternoon to get rates she got award hrc and lrm school refused to help with form and didn't have no other support I sent in her referrals for adhd and therapy also a course she done at school she is 7 I didn't have any other evidence at the time but documented our daily struggles even just getting her to brush her teeth and her sleep or lack of it I fully believed it would be a decline without the support from professionals I'm so happy for my girl don't let it put you off applying with lack of evidence or support just make sure you document how your child's life is I also gave permission for them to speak to everyone on the form and it was with a dm for 8 days so don't know if they did good luck everyone

i'm in appeals world. applied august. rejected november. sent in further evidence of sons deteriorating condition and range of even more investigations and tests. told today i should get a decision 'in a few weeks'. she said we will text you if you win. i said i won't win anything but my son will get access to additional support he needs. was feeling grumpy after 6 months! also. what ever time of day i've rung, always on hold 59 - 63 minutes. it's almost as if it's planned that you are always on hold for an hour (and likely give up before the 59 minute mark)
