@CHDmumma Thank you so much, I feel more nervous now I know the decision is incoming. It’s such a roller coaster of emotions! X

@Chels2020 @CHDmumma
Oh my gosh….was awarded this morning! Middle Care, Lower Mobility! Wait for letter! Oh, I am sooo pleased I can finally put in extra support for him. Thank you and everyone else in here keeping me sane while the past 3 weeks have been hell! For all…my story lol….
Sent forms in with a Paediatrician letter stating Autism traits and a Speech and Language Report just indicating his speech needs, no mention of Autism. And that was all for evidence. I filled the form in myself with the school input of just his speech needs-of course-no other help but this was expected. (School are not helpful) Had a letter dated 17th of June to say my scan date was 01st June. No others letters or phone calls or texts. I did ring after 15 weeks to check they had my form-they did. I called 16+6 weeks to be told not with DM. I called again 17+1 (Friday morning just gone) was with DM. Decision made this morning-17+3. I am unbelievably relieved and glad I don’t have to wait anymore. Be happy to see it in writing but hey, that’s what the man said. This page has been a god send! Thank you all so much. And best of luck to all still waiting. Xxx

That’s amazing news, so happy for you :) xx

I’m totally deflated now. I finally got through and they don’t think my daughter requires extra care which is ridiculous because she needs medication every 6 hours to live and constant supervision to make sure she doesn’t hurt herself because any injury could land her in hospital in crisis and kill her if not treated 😞

PookyBoo77 · 02/10/2023 13:19

@Lilypad22 So have they said your claim has been declined? I’m so sorry to hear this. Have you asked for a detailed break down and to start the MR process? It sounds to me like you have a strong case to appeal this decision x

Mummyof6love · 02/10/2023 13:38

@CHDmumma i am so relieved I do not need to call again. MRC, LRM. Awarded for 2 years. Back pay form the 1/6. Next payment 31st. I’m so relieved! Xxx

CHDmumma · 02/10/2023 13:40

24 weeks tomorrow and called today and was told have answer by end off the month

Mumof2boys11 · 02/10/2023 19:15

Hi,
I rang today scan date is 2/06. The man I spoke to called Robert he was lovely! Said that claims are going to a d.m 17 and half weeks and then a week from there really so by next week should have a answer.. He did say dms are supposed to text if awarded- he also said it can take slightly longer if they need to contact for medical advice or people put down on forms. He said given how much evidence and info I've supplied they shouldn't need to. He said I should know by next week. But I see some june dates being done and hope it's done this week. He said when they get given them if there straight forward not needing to contact anyone it can be quick If they need to it goes into another pile, which can they take longer. So if dm picks up tomorrow and has enough info can award straight away If they don't can make the process take longer as the need to ring people etc..
It took me 1hr and 20 mins to get through. X

Daryl54 · 02/10/2023 19:53
