Sounds similar to what we sent and got awarded mrc lrm good luck

It may be enough, it may not be. From what I’ve heard, it’s best to add as much evidence as possible but it’s still beneficial to write a lot about your child’s needs.

Don’t stress about it! No one on here knows so you’ll have to wait until you get a decision. Good luck💐

For anyone who’s recently been awarded and is still watching the thread, don’t forget to click on the below link and follow the steps.

My scan date was 20th of March and I found out on Fri 7th of July that DS was awarded MRC. One Sat 8th, I submitted the form to say that we’d missed the £150 disability payment. Just checked my account today and the money has been transferred already.

It was super easy, all that was needed was my son’s date of birth and full name. No need to explain why/how we missed the payment. Good luck all!

Not sure if my daughters claim is right, she was 14 in June her award is until 21/06/2026, that makes her 17, should I ring and query it?

My son's claim was with a DM as of Tuesday (yesterday) was told I'd get a text when a decision has been made today being Wednesday it'll be week 16 I was told probably another couple of days for a decision but might be longer if DM needs more info but tbf I sent literally everything I have to date now it's close to the end of waiting I'm Uber anxious it'll be a decline but from what I've read he is entitled to mid rate care I just hope the DM reads everything and understands he is not a typical 5 year old

Our 15 weeks is up in about 3 weeks. I am finding it very stressful! Just worried I have not sent enough info. I sent several reports from different experts- the latest of which states that his ASD and ADHD is effecting his daily life 'substantially and significantly' but I did not send a school report (For some reason I am embarrassed about the school knowing we have applied- still feel a sense of stigma about it which is silly I know).

I must be around same time as you scan date 27 April. I’m feeling anxious my son has no diagnosis we’re on the asd pathway. I sent in iep, occupational therapy report and copy of sleep prescription. Just hope this is enough

Morning ladies- scan date was 20th April. My son is 4.5- diagnosed with adhd- private due to how Impulsive and hyper he is. He is medicated which breaks my heart 💔 it massively effects your life. We have 2 other children who struggle as we how to watch our little one all the time. We went his diagnosis, school report and a copy of a Dr's report from when they seen him. X2 referrals went to hospital but won't see him till he is at school which is September then there is a 2 plus year wait. All very frustrating! I didn't want to have to do this but it opens up more support I've been told.

yes my scan date is 26th April. :) Feels good to have a waiting buddy. very best of luck.

@Mummyto3boys23 it is hard.

It's hard isn't it! The waiting makes you nervous. Best of luck to you 😊x

Thanks for this. My daughter has finally awarded after an MR is the 150 not incl in the back payment do you know?

Hey guys scan date on 6th march. 15week marker tomorrow. Only thing I received is a text saying we are still looking at your claim on the 3/07/23. Joke

Sorry i dont know it didn't tag you before but is the 150.00 included in the back payment or do you need to do this form?
Thanks

Nope the £150 isn’t included in the back payment. It’s from the recent cost of living disability payment so won’t be included.

If you’ve recently been awarded then click the link and fill in the form. Really simple, you just need your child’s full name and date of birth

Thank you so much, I will do it now. I really thought it would off been included in the back payment. Thank you

How long did your MR take please 🙏 I’ve just sent off my sons extra evidence today but requested a MR on the 4th

Don't lose hope I know the wait is long and anxious I called DLA today to find my son had been awarded this morning 16weeks exactly only went to a DM yesterday it can happen so quickly to be honest I genuinely thought it was a decline I was so shocked
I'm assuming back pay will be paid on Friday as he was awarded this morning is that right ?

No problem! I’m happy that I’ve been able to help at least one person on this thread.

If you have FB, pls do join the FB support group on DLA. The advice there is so helpful. You’ll get the £150 if you fill out the form today so that’s an additional bit of help🙌

I think about 4 weeks so wasnt too long. I did ring them to see if i had time to send more off , i got a letter last week saying it could take 11 weeks so it was alot faster than that, fingers crossed you won't be waiting long and you get the decision you deserve

@Zoemelia 6th April here have you heard anything.

No nothing yet I was told 24 weeks 😭😭

Wow Jesus

🙈x

I've just got through and been told mines with a DM should hear tonight or tomorrow. My scan date is 29th March this is for my daughters 1st claim.

I did a MR for my daughter it took from the 26th June to the 16th July for a decision officialy I waited 13 weeks for the 1st refusal and just 20days for a MR money was in 3 days later and 5 days later there was the £150 disability payment hope this helps everyone
