Hi everyone, I have been silently following this post since February when I sent my dd forms back. I was filled with anxiety and dread thinking I hadn't filled in properly and not enough evidence. I rang today as I had seen a few with similar svan dates being awarded and they had made a decision today. Lrm and hrc, I was so relieved. My dd has ADHD, ASD and ODD. My scan date is 17th Feb.

My question is my husband works and I have cut my days to look after my daughter so only working 11 hours a week as a Teachers assistant so low pay.

I have put in a claim for Carers just, do they take into account just my pay as her carer or my husbands aswell?
And does anyone know the timescale for a decision?

You are all amazing by the way!!

Kenny312 · 25/05/2023 15:17

Fantasitic new so happy for you
I think I’m going to call x

@Kenny312 @Mumto2sengirlsxx @Nicole12345 @FamilfuelebyADHD I've just got off the phone they still haven't made a decision said 1st week in June, I really don't understand how this process is working 😩 stressed beyond belief xxxx

Kenny312 · 25/05/2023 16:18

Just got off the phone also been told to call back 1st June if not heard anything as can be with case manager for a while …. I’m so confused too as some 17/2 been awarded but could be another week yet

Kenny312 · 25/05/2023 16:19

@upthewallmumof3 dont know about you but my anxiety is through the roof 🤦‍♀️

upthewallmumof3 · 25/05/2023 16:21

@Kenny312 it's just so stressful but the way they work it but you never know we might get a decision 2moz 🙏🏻

Kenny312 · 25/05/2023 16:23

@upthewallmumof3 could be bloody July at this rate … but possitive thinking
I think one of the ladies called up one day and wasn’t with a dm , the following day was allocated and decision made that day … sooo that could be us tomorrow 🙏🙏

Mumto2sengirlsxx · 25/05/2023 16:24

@Kenny312 that was me, I called no dm then called the next morning and she had been awarded!! I defo think you will both find out the at least by the end of this week xx

Kenny312 · 25/05/2023 16:25

Thought it was wasn’t sure if you or Nicole 🙏🙏🙏

Mumto2sengirlsxx · 25/05/2023 16:38

@Kenny312 I got really lucky because I was told my daughters was the first claim of the pile handed to the dm that morning must of had enough evidence there as it was a quick decision made but yours and @upthewallmumof3 must be toward the bottom of the pile hence why its taking so long I think you'll hear off them tomorrow if not the weekend team will probably be looking at it xx

Nicole12345 · 25/05/2023 17:42

i think you’ll both be sorted by tomorrow afternoon with a decision. I think they’ll want any on the pile done before the bank holiday is about to start. I requested a txt when a decision was made and never got one so if you’ve requested that I wouldn’t wait for it. Just call daily as it can go from nothing to all wrapped up in hours. Totally get how you are both feeling though. Knowing it’s with a DM and that last bit of waiting is horrible xx

FamilfuelebyADHD · 25/05/2023 17:45

@upthewallmumof3 @Kenny312 I was the same, ring tomorrow have everything crossed for you x

upthewallmumof3 · 25/05/2023 18:41

@Kenny312 @Nicole12345 @Mumto2sengirlsxx @FamilfuelebyADHD hoping we will hear tomorrow you are right this last hurdle is the worst, knowing a total stranger has the power to make a decision, not knowing what they and us as parents actually go thru day to day, hoping it's tomorrow as it's bh next week 🙏🏻

upthewallmumof3 · 26/05/2023 06:53

Morning everyone I've had a missed call at 6.40 am from the dwp has anyone else had a call? I'm stressing now because I can't ring back till 9am 😩 seems strange someone calling that early 🤷🏻‍♀️

upthewallmumof3 · 26/05/2023 07:03

I've literally just ran the loo and missed another 1. 😩

Mumto2sengirlsxx · 26/05/2023 07:03

@upthewallmumof3 that's really strange if they are calling that early it would normally be after 8/9... was it defo dwp not a scam number? Another day guys hope you get some good news today @Kenny312 x

upthewallmumof3 · 26/05/2023 07:04

@Mumto2sengirlsxx I got cut off the other day and the lady rang me back and it's the same number xxx

upthewallmumof3 · 26/05/2023 07:05

This is the number xxx

Mumto2sengirlsxx · 26/05/2023 07:09

@upthewallmumof3 yeah just looked it up defo seems legit strange cause its early!! Unless they are working early today because of bank holiday Monday? I just read a forum snd seems everyone had that number call for different things, examples: talking about a transfer to uc, to let them know about esa backpay etc so God knows but it's legit they might try calling again soon xx
