Yayyy @dandymum congrats!! Now the long wait to call up on Monday!! Bet you feel so relieved though!!

Honestly couldn’t be more relieved 🤞 for you all

dandymum · 19/11/2022 10:30

@Shellbel10 if you haven’t heard by Monday please ring them, they’d set mine aside to come back to and me ringing let them know I was chasing them I just said I hadn’t heard anything since 8 weeks x

MissEllie2 · 19/11/2022 10:30

@dandymum how old is your child and what evidence did you send if you don’t mind me asking 🙏🏼 xx

Shellbel10 · 19/11/2022 10:35

@MissEllie2 she’s just turned 2 in November, so was 18 months when we applied. We wrote her neonatologist number on form, had nursery senco fill out the who knows your child section, a letter from hv stating she supported our claim, her mri results from neurosurgeon and know we shouldn’t but appointment letters from audiologist and eye hospital, and wrote statement that she’s also been referred to sensory processing team, and ENT x

MissEllie2 · 19/11/2022 11:14

And from the evidence I see there I can’t see why they would ever of denied her anyway!! She’s getting what she deserves xxx

Meli3 · 19/11/2022 11:26

MissEllie2 · 19/11/2022 11:35

A change of circumstances

Lozzaaaaa · 19/11/2022 14:07

Is any ones scan date September for a new claim? Just seeing who’s with me lol

skylarkserenade · 19/11/2022 14:13

Hi all, I've been lurking for a while! My scan date was 17th August, they just rang me about a question I'd missed and said a decision will be made today. He said he's definitely awarding something but wouldn't say what rate til he's made his decision

MissEllie2 · 19/11/2022 14:37

@skylarkserenade Thats great news 🥰 x

Claire288 · 19/11/2022 14:39

@Lozzaaaaa I'm September too

Lozzaaaaa · 19/11/2022 14:41

@Claire288 Which date? I’m the 17th. The waiting is horrible

LucasMummy88 · 19/11/2022 16:26

I’m the 15th September. The wait is gruelling. I’m expecting a decision will probably be just before Christmas. I’m hoping you all get good news x

Mrsamandac · 19/11/2022 16:46

My scan date was 10/08 and just had money in my bank yesterday. It was a 14 week looooong wait for me. No idea what my DS has been awarded as no text or letter yet.

MissEllie2 · 19/11/2022 17:37

@Mrsamandac congrats 🥰

Emmamorg · 19/11/2022 17:55

I'm the 17th August to this wait is to long 😅 it's so stressful waiting I rang on weds and was told another week but they said that the last 3 weeks 😂

Mummytolucia · 19/11/2022 18:00

I'm the 21st sept 13 weeks is around 20th December really stressful the worry of waiting I feel like we've sent more than enough evidence and school where brilliant writing on the form about my daughters struggles and being truthful about how she can be a danger to herself and others. We also sent Ed psychologist reports and adhd diagnosis etc

Meli3 · 19/11/2022 18:32

Not seen very many updates today, feel like I'm going to be waiting another week or 2. Good luck for the week coming up to anyone who has not heard anything yet. X

Shellbel10 · 19/11/2022 18:57

my scan date the 16th still not heard anything but am also reluctant to call as feel it could be bad news
