[Lostatsea10]

Thought it was time for a new thread :)

@lillysmammy definately would be alot easier if they had an email address haha i’ll see what time school give me the report so then i can send it asap because i’d hate for it to not get there in time x

@lillysmammy i have already sent a letter from school but since starting the claim back in october last year, scan dates nov, things have changed quite abit but i haven’t sent in an updated statement from me should i do that too? x

@lillysmammy Thankyou I thought I was strange just how he said just had a notice, think I’ll ring Monday if not heard anything been with small since Monday x

Two missed calls from DWP at 0830 this morning. No message. Scan date 21/11 so wondering why they were calling. Should I call back or wait?!!

I’d call back. Probs means you been awarded . They rang my friend to say you’ve been awarded

And to Cody no that don’t mean anything x

Just got a text. We’ve been awarded. Don’t know what yet - letter on the way. For those tracking we had scan date of 21/11 and are London based. So relieved! May call Monday to find out what level!

Congratulations hopefully I’ll hear today! I’m camberley and scan date is 18/11 xxxx

Great news Emily! Do you know if London and Essex forms go to the same place? X

@emilyant ahh brilliant! glad your wait’s over. did dwp leave a voicemail i just wonder how you know it’s them, ive just had a missed call from a number i didn’t recognise but i’m at work so can’t answer x

Google the number x

@Als2017 haha good idea i didn’t think of that lol my brains fried x

Haha it’s Saturday and very early! 🤣 hopefully it’s them for you! 🤞xxx

I have a feeling mine will be declined, my 4 year old has speech problems and I’ve sent the report, I’ve spoken to nursery about suspected autism. But they said oh everyone has a bit of autism in them, so didn’t take my serious. Spoke to docs about it in the end… xx

He can’t do much that another 4 year old can and he’s up at night ect not toilet trained 100 percent ect I’m dreading finding out x

@Als2017 oh wow that’s terrible! could you speak to your health visitor about it? my sons just turned 6 and still under them for something. fingers crossed you hear from DLA soon! the number that called me was from sky 😅 x

@Als2017 aww bless him hopefully you can speak to HV and see if they can help in anyway x

Good shout cos I do have one cos I have a 5 month old too, he has glue ear also as it was my health visitor who referred me for hearing test as he’s so loud! ahhh dam it! Xx

No message - it was an 0800 number which I googled and it said it was DWP. When I called it back it was a message saying “we are DWP, you don’t need to call us, if we need you we will call you back”. The text came about 30 mins later.

My guess is they all go to a south east location but I’m not sure!

@emilyant thank you! i’ll ignore all calls unless 0800 🤣
@Als2017 ah brill so they’ll definitely be able to help then x

@Als2017 that's awful your nursery just dismissed your opinion, you can self refer through your gp also I've done this twice for my little ones.

I've received a letter today scan date 5/1 saying they apologise for the delay and will write again soon, so no clue when that'll be x

Als2017 same my son's got few issues but my doctor agree with me not just his speech and language dnt slep much as well legs and hip plus feet problems as well .

We’ll still nothing as of today ): hopefully we hear this week!
