Hi everyone, hope you don’t mind me posting on this thread. My scan date is 20/06 had 2 letters & 2 texts, the last text was on 19th September.. I’m 16 weeks today & currently on hold just to check if there’s some sort of update 😊 the wait is the worst 😭 so stressful x

Good luck, let us know 🥰

@Mumtotwoboys121 been on hold 56mins … hoping they answer soon! It’s so draining 🥱 x

so asked for an update, she said new claims are taking 19 weeks minimum 😫 🤦‍♀️ I’m absolutely sick of waiting. She said end of October start of November and it’s not with any dm x

I'm exactly the same as you . Waiting as I can't ring at 9am
Hoping it's soon for us

Mine will be the same as yours then 😫😫😫

@allofthelove aww it’s awful, we can stick it out another few weeks & hopefully get the outcomes that we want 😩 x

I really hope so . I'm trying not to think about it. It would help my daughter so much . All I sent in was a confirmation of epilepsy and her CAHMS report saying she has autism and low processing . I'm already thinking it's just going to be denied .

I caved in and called as it was just doing my head in not knowing anything
I'm 16+4 now. 1 hour & 10 mins later 🤯🤯..Still in holding and won't get looked at until 19 weeks... To call back around the 26th. I'm calling Monday though after my daughters assessment to add that on.

Same scan date as me. I hope it not that long as that’s half term so probably lots of DM’s will be on holiday!! So stressful waiting x

So ridiculous hope you hear sooner than that!

Yep i know and I didn't think of that with it being half term 🙄 I hope it's before then too as it's my 40th the week after and don't want my birthday ruined by it 😞

Thanks me too think I'll end up going insane 😂

Any updates for 07/06 scan dates. I called yesterday so didn’t wanna call today and seem like the crazy lady that won’t stop phoning (that is me)😂😂

I’m already there I think 🤔 xx

@allofthelove my fingers are crossed for you, try not to think of the negatives, I didn’t send that much either & she hasn’t got a diagnosis as of yet… you can always do an MR if worst comes to worst, I will be doing one if we are denied. It’s just the unknown for now though 😞 21 days and hopefully we will know! 😊 x

Hi 07/06 here and received text message this afternoon that we have been awarded not sure of rates but very happy they seem to be on these sort of June dates now xx

Hope everyone has good news soon xxx

Omg!! Congratulations that’s amazing❤️❤️ hopefully us next xx

Congratulations 🥳 not sure how they are saying 19 weeks when so many are being approved sooner x

New here, anxiously waiting. Scan date 09.06 😬 anyone with the same date

I would say if you can do the parental one and get the nursery to back you up and really elaborate all your child's difficulties not just in an educational setting they may be more willing to assess. Plus nurserys are brilliant but can be abit vague in the requests which isn't their fault but the LA will recieve so many requests for similar issues if it comes from you you can give them a more detailed and full picture of your child's needs and what you want as a parent as you hold the most authority. I'm only saying this from conversations I've had with sencos and early years team to get the best possible outcomes. Do they already recieve GSP Funding at all ?

@Georgia1721 hey, I’m 9th of June too but myn is for a change of circumstances so yours will probably go through any day now if it’s your first time applying or renewal as someone from 7th of June has just been awarded x 😊

Thank you, we’ve already done the application we are on the first stage. Currently have to write my thoughts about his development etc. and why I think he needs an EHCP. Im going to send the supporting evidence I sent for the DLA application about his needs x
