Waiting time for DLA Third Thread

@Blabbermouth93 don't feel bad! I do understand though my 3 year olds room is full of toys proper typical boys room but the youngest isn't have you applied to family fund? X

@Alk19 thank god I’m not the only one I was starting to feel like a bad mother cause there room is basic too tv on wall but they break everything drawers etc 🙄 currently 3 strips they’ve pulled off it looks like a doss room 😂 x

@Blabbermouth93 @Alk19 my little boys the same I can't even have wallpaper coz he just picks it , o god they wanna pull there finger out ino there probably a backlog but they must have alot of decision makers and usually they only take couple hours to read through and approve or turn down xx

@Blabbermouth93 yeah very I've refused to re do his room I had to take the lid of his toy box cause he stands on it had to get him a very low to the floor bed tv on the wall so his room is quite bare and basic x

@Jneill2021 phoned again this morning still nothing still with cm women must have thought I was mad blubbering down the phone at her had to try explain it’s been a rough night 🙄😂😂 god help us x

@Alk19 it’s frustrating isn’t it I’ve got chunks out of my hall and his room has been decorated three times this year he’s torn 3 full strips off wallpaper off I refuse to do it again 🙄😂 x

@Jneill2021 I hope so getting tired of waiting x

@Blabbermouth93 my son has ripped my wallpaper downstairs and eaten it and in his bedroom he was diagnosed with pica aswell he eats anything and everything

@Jneill2021 my boy keeps stripping the paint and wallpaper off the walls and eating it 😑 my couch is getting chewed arms and faces are getting licked and clothes are horribly chewed lol 😂 I’ve tried my youngest with teething toys but nope he would prefer to lick everything or eat everything haha never boring our households though 😳😂

I’m so drained today rather emotional my self today such a bad morning and night so hard trying to keep it together for them anyone know if I can ask for more support workers for them I’ve got 3 disabled children fighting me daily oldest isn’t as bad going to phone again now my claim was received the 17th of September sorry for the rant 🙄

@Alk19 that is terrible for the amount of time uve waited, fingers crossed its sorted soon for you xx

@Jneill2021 nope nothing yet still with the approval team apparently they don't give much away xx

@Alk19 good morning, did uc finally sort your back pay? Xx

I've found the new thread :)

@Blabbermouth93 there taking so long with certain claims and yet others seem to be getting sorted pretty quick when dis they recieve your forms ?, I wish they could see how hard it is for our children and how distressing it is for them then they might understand there actuall care needs, my boys hasn't been said his got pica but every health care professional I've spoke to have suggested toys he can chew on as he is exactly the same everything apart from food goes in his mouth he even pulls his hair out and try to eat it due to his sensory processing, it hasn't really worked for him as he just pushes the toy to the side to buts its worth a try xx

I honestly wish we could send in recordings of our children so they can see what we are dealing with it’s absolutely soul destroying watching them practically self harm 😭 anyone got any advice for picca two of my boys being assessed for autism and adhd but they keep licking and chewing everything ones 4 ones 8 x

@Jneill2021 yes still no result will phone again in the morning apologies has been a long day with the kids today one is currently having night terrors trying to settle him down so tired tonight ☹️ Waiting on a emergency dietitian as he won’t eat and hasn’t in over two weeks two slices of toast every couple days and won’t drink or pee my god life can be so hard lol vomiting even trying to chew now 😑☹️ X
