Same scan date as me. Hopefully the wait is worth it but it’s look like early October. Is your child school age? It’s not to late to send off extra evidence.

Our scan date is 18/5, I ve got more evidence I can send but I figured as it's taking them more than 2/3 weeks to scan anything I m just going to hold off and then use it for an MR if it came to it.
But then I m hoping for MRC and not eligible for mobility yet so the extra I can send is just more recent to say the same things other evidence does.

Tried to ring and keep getting cut off. Have to try again tomorrow

What do I do?
My daughters scan date was 16/05/2023 so not long left. she has Just got her asd and dispraxia diagnosis letter this morning. Is it to late to send it in as extra evidence.
ARGHHHH I had stopped stressing about it thinking there was nothing else to send. Now this what should I do?

Hi all, what’s the number to call for an update?

BrokenRainbow · 04/09/2023 15:40

Also, how do you find out when your scan date was? Is it 15 week wait from the scan day?

Your first letter from them should have the date on it, it's going past the 15 weeks now. Lots of people seem to be 17 weeks for an answer.

Scan date mid July, renewal due mid Oct, desperately hoping HRC is approved as I am getting to the point I can no longer get him in the car seat. We need a WAV so he can travel in his wheelchair.

BrokenRainbow · 04/09/2023 15:49

17? Gosh. Can anyone share the number for me to call for an update please?

zoeybrooks45 · 04/09/2023 16:09

You can call them to report of change circumstances and tell them that you received diagnosis, it’s worth a try.

Hi everyone, I have a scan date of 5/5, I called today and they said it was with a decision maker, does anyone know how long this takes? Thank you

Mom23milly · 04/09/2023 17:26

Does anyone know if anyone looks at the evidence/application during this long wait or is it all done the day the decision maker gets it?

you're probably pretty close to a decision. exactly 17 weeks seems.to be decision time

WorseDecision · 05/09/2023 09:51

D ay 5 of being with the decision maker and still no answer. Worried they're going to decline my son.

Mami23 · 05/09/2023 09:57
