I don’t know if you all know but for those whose children have an award, and if the parent receives a qualifying benefit, your child may be entitled to a grant for various things from the Family Fund.
Worth having a look x

Family Fund is great! I got a brand new Beko washing machine for £7 which is currently on the market for £350-£400. It’s an amazing charity

Thank you so much. I had no idea I could do that x

Mumtotwoboys121 · 15/10/2023 14:23

Same scan dates as me, hope we all get texts tomorrow or tuesday x

Pawtucketbrew · 15/10/2023 16:11

Just to say I called Friday as my letter said 15 weeks and scan date was 26/06 so it had been 15+4.

Took me 1 hr and 5 minutes to get through (did other stuff while on hold). They told me it was 18.5 weeks currently so I'm looking at another 3 weeks!

She told me to send more evidence if I had it in the post. Tbh still waiting on CAMHs report which has been promised in a week's time. Might just see if I get anything and if I get turned down I'll add the other information then.

I've had two letters and two text in total.

CrazySars · 15/10/2023 17:57

@JME85
Mist likely wont call tomorrow but maybe on friday
I did call afew days ago and it wasnt with the DM

Tbh i feel a strong decline
Because not much evidence and not much written

I want to call tomorrow but I’m not sure whether or not to hold out til exactly 18 weeks. Why is this so stressful

Mumof385 · 15/10/2023 20:53

Hi been following this thread for a little while now while going through the long wait, scan date is 29/6 last text recieved 25/9, rang last week and was told 18 1/2 weeks for a decision, not feeling very hopeful though as i dont have much evidence other than the 2 pages i wrote and a statement from the sen teacher from school, my 10 year old was only placed on the pathway in january for adhd and autism been fighting for years for someone to listen as hes always been labelled the 'naughty child', i only found out earlier this year he didnt need diagnosed to apply for dla, writing everything down on the form was strange as obviously i know his needs and care for him everyday but actually having to write it all down and seeing it in front of me i felt exhausted 😂

Mummyrach13 · 15/10/2023 21:05

Good luck to any one phoning in the morning 🤞 let us know what they say.

Lovely17 · 16/10/2023 07:53

Good luck to everyone today, I’m 17 weeks tomorrow… do I ring this morning or do I just leave it & wait a few more days 🫤 I don’t know why but this is all I can think about at the min & it’s driving me mad. X

Mumtotwoboys121 · 16/10/2023 08:15

I was going to call but on Thursday it still wasn’t with a DM so going to stress myself out if it’s still not. Fingers crossed for a text over the next few days. 17 & 5
