Dla part 10

[Patientlywaitingx2]

Called up today and the wait gets pushed back further and further has anyone been awarded recently

@ADHDMummaBear sorry to hear it was declined. Get that MR in ASAP x

@AnxietyMumma thanks appreciate it. It would be helpful to know the scores. I am not sure my son will get it but will appeal. It won't be the last they hear from me!

@ToughMum thet are more in depth but these are brief

my son got a 1 on communication stating that sometimes there's difficulty during a journey

5 on hazard awareness. Stating dangerous on every journey as not aware of dangers/hazards

3 on behavioural. Stating moderate behavioural problems. Resolves slow with correct support

5 on ability to travel independently. Stating only travel by car or taxi. Needs assistance to travel. No travel when overwhelmed/distressed

Hi sorry to jump on but can you get an Ehcp in place without a diagnosis? We are waiting for stage two of the assessment ( the sensory room) but school keep asking me to pester them as they want an ehcp but he needs to be diagnosed apparently.
Tia x

@Cacb15 it might be different criteria in different areas but where I am you don't need a diagnosis. Though I think that's solid ground and evidence. My sons school didn't sort his til he had acceptance letters onto the pathways for ASD and ADHD

same for my area, you can’t get an EHCP without a diagnosis, there’s other forms of help like IEPS, IHCP that focus on areas of need.

My son has an echp but doesn't have a diagnosis he was deffered a year so he started reception last year instead of 2021 to get the ehcp he was assessed by a special education teacher from the council and a educational physcologist his ehcp was accepted last year just after he started in reception I'm in Lancashire (rossendale) my daughter is diagnosed but currently waiting for special teacher and educational physcologist to become involved she currently still in nursery due to start reception this year

Eek I didn’t send a copy of my son’s EHCP with the forms, I presumed they would get in touch with his teacher 😬
Should I have sent them does anyone know? Or do they get in touch with the school?

@Daisymum18 its rough going isn’t it, I’m currently waiting for EP to come out again and see my son as he’s in year 5 now so I need to know if there’s anything else going on with him apart from the issues he has already, if there is I will be telling his school that I want an EHCP assessment done before he goes to secondary school because at present there’s no way he could cope in one

@WouldJudasLeaveIt yeah I’d deffo get it sent in as it’s a big piece of evidence

Thanks Snickerdoodles19 I‘ll copy it and send it today.

@WouldJudasLeaveIt send it recorded just in case

I will thanks, would kick myself hearing back in weeks that I hadn’t sent enough information.

@WouldJudasLeaveIt yes I know, I always second guess and question whether I sent enough or not.

Hi my son got high rate care yesterday he is my 5th child do i have to tell tax credits as i do t get anything for him

@126t i wouldn’t think so if your not receiving anything for him.

Hi, i got a back payment on wednesday does anyone know if thats the date the DLA starts, like would it be 4 weeks from wednesday till next payment, sorry just trying to work it all out x

I would call them and ask, I believe you may get the disabled child part to it even if they don't get the regular elements. Definitely call and ask. I'm on UC now so I'm not so clued up on the tax credits side any more but I do think you will get something x

On phone 88 minutes and I’m still not through... I’m actually in full panic mode now. Ds renewal ends in less than a week and half 😩

@Boymom10 i rang Monday and was told to ring back on Monday 27th .. mine ends Friday 31st .. let me know how you get on please xx

@Brown2010 just off the phone still not with a dm and told me to ring back next Thursday/Friday and said they are really swamped with them and it might not get seen till the day before renewal 😳

@Boymom10 Ah I thought it might be that .. Im not going to ring now till the 27th .. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Xx

I'm not ringing now till next friday I give up
