The last bit is the worst!! An online system would be so much easier for all, even if it’s just to log in for an update to keep us all sane!! xx

Any one had any news on a coc today? Xx

4LittleFirecrackers · 18/10/2023 11:29

@Mummyrach13 you would hope you’ll be next week, keeping everything crossed for you ☺️I’d not had any migraines for over 6 months and then wham, I’m trying to not get too focused on it until end of the month. Just worried about what I can provide for MR if needed

Yes please! I kept thinking I'd ring at 16 weeks asking for an update as then its past the 15 weeks they've stated but all they will say is no change so thinking it's pointless! It feels like a lifetime ago I sent the forms!

Zaynsmummy · 18/10/2023 11:33

Hi there
I submitted my form for change of circumstances 03/08 received a letter to say 18 weeks.
anybody else done coc

Been reading these posts for a while but first time posting. Scan date 23/06 so getting close, probably next week or 2. Applied for my 8 year old daughter ADHD (diagnosed) ASD (undiagnosed). Didn’t supply much evidence just her diagnosis letter and ASD referral. She has severe tantrums and meltdowns. Really struggling with her behaviour and how to help her.
Changed her school just before I applied as she was having so many problems there but so far has been masking and seems more settled in new school so not sure they’ll be supporting the application although they’ve referred her for ELSA therapy. Her old school definitely would have supported. Not feeling hopeful but will definitely do an MR. Anyone else with same scan date as me?

Mummyrach13 · 18/10/2023 11:37

Me too @4LittleFirecrackers i hadn’t had a migraine attack in months now I can’t shift it and not sleeping isn’t helping but I just can’t shut off over night. I will be glad when this is over. I’m preparing myself for a MR too x

Pawtucketbrew · 18/10/2023 11:39

Scan date 26/6 so 16 weeks and a few days. Called at 15 weeks as per my letter and was told 18.5 weeks at the moment so not expecting to hear until November.

A bit stressed as DD has been accepted for treatment with CAMHs, I'm just waiting for her report as I think it will really help our case. Lady at CAMHs lovely and she was waiting for some things before she can finish report. Anyway, I doubt report will come in time for the decision now but at least I will have it in case I need to appeal.

For those getting back payments, are you getting it from the scan date plus the weeks from the phone call for the forms?

Luevzamum · 18/10/2023 11:39

@Zaynsmummy hey I’ve done a change a circumstance too my scan date was 9th June, and I rang yesterday to be told a minimum of 6 months so early January he said becasue lots of people take holidays in December so he cudnt see it being done till January…😭
