[Mummyrach13]

Following on from part 16…..

@Mummyrach13 was yours scanned today or last week? Xx

@Mumof385 congratulations sweet !! So happy for you!! I’m 29/06 as well and went to dm this morning ! Wonder if there in with same dm!! I’m scared but I want to call again tomorrow 😂😂 I’m going to try hold out till Wednesday at least 🧘‍♀️X

@4LittleFirecrackers my scan date is the 29/6 , last text was 25/9 exactly 5 weeks ago today, ah I have everything crossed you don't have to do an Mr, I know how stressful it all is but don't give up 🙂

Thank you everyone 😊 this thread has kept me sane the last few weeks 😂

@Tmxx 😭 oh I hope so, on top of looking after our children it’s just one thing too much! I hope yours comes through soon with good news.
My DC2 was declined years ago for ASD masked at school but horrendous meltdowns etc Anywhere but at school. I didn’t even know what an MR was and just accepted it at face value, DC3 who I’m claiming for now is a physical disability rather than ASD but I can just feel this going the same way 😥

@Tmxx @Keddie @Pumpkins3 @Sskanf I think that’s all of us that’s on or around the 12/7.

We’ve literally got 14 days till it’s our 5 week marker since the last text on the 9/10. So hopefully we should be hearing in the next 14 days hopefully before ladies 🌹

Hi billie Second text on the 9th so wouldn’t that mean around the 6th? 6th would be 4 weeks? X

Hi all long time reader first time posting.

Scan date is 27/7

I called today to ask if there was any update and if it was worth me sending a few extra pieces of information or not. I was told I will have a decision on the 27th of November as dla have now decided to give everyone who calls the exact date they should get the decision to make life easier apparently ( there words) just seemed odd to me 🤷‍♀️. Congratulations on everyone who has been awarded and good luck to us all still waiting I'm starting to lose the plot I think lol.

My scan date is the 13th of July I rang last week n the man said mid November

Congrats for all awards x

Congrats!!!!

my scan date is 20/07 & when I rang weeks ago the lady told me to expect around 16th November to go to Dm but it’s made harder by fact I can’t receive texts so I have no idea if they have tried

@RMNofTikTok It’ll be just over £6,000!
make sure they include carers element too! (£186 a month)

There's a few of us around the same dates. Countdown begins, I have the same last txt date as you

I'm not entitled to carers element as I get LCWRA 😊

My UC dates are 19th - 18th, so I've got severe disabled child premium so I've got 5 x £456.89 = £2284.45 plus £2910 so £5194.45 altogether. It's a bit naff that I don't qualify for carers element but honestly £1000 a month extra is a HUGE increase so I'm REALLY happy.

We've had a shit 3.5 years. Fled DV in May 2020, then I developed an electrical fault with my heart Dec 2020, I had 2 heart surgeries in March and April 2021 then developed POTS and was diagnosed with hEDS sept 2022. I've been working my arse off trying to sort out my financial situation and my health has been rapidly declining.

Ds behavioural problems are quite severe and who can blame her? She's had a lot of trauma plus autism to contend with. Last week I found a housekeeper nanny who agreed to be my PA, the council fund 10 hours a week, and now I will be able to privately fund more hours. This is going to make such a difference to our lives I can't even explain. I feel like I've finally been pulled out of the black hole. I can finally afford to buy the power chair I need, get my garden done, redecorate Ds bedroom and take her on holiday. Absolutely life changing!

fingers crossed @Billie1993

I waited 10 months before getting a letter saying I had missed it by one point.

@RMNofTikTok wow you’ve really been through a lot. I’m so happy for you!!💐

I’m sure the rumour is 5 weeks after the last text people should start to hear their decisions so if the last text was on the 9/10 then that would make it 13/11 hun x

@Sskanf & @Keddie not long now laddies I’ve been counting down the days 😂

Also second text on the 25th sept my scan date is the 3rd of july really hoping we get an anwser this week 🤞🌈 good luck every one

@RMNofTikTok your uc element could end up being a little more than that depending on whenever they sort the backpay. So I haven't bothered trying to figure mine out.
Still waiting for my backpay but we got HRC and LRM and can't for the life of me figure out what my rough backpay would be 🤣 so good on you for figuring it out haha xx

You're so right - considering it took them 5 months to do a MR for £19.60 childcare allowance I shouldn't hold my breath on getting it quickly 😂

@LGR004 Mine was scanned 26/6? 18 weeks today. X

I’m the same scan date 12.07.23 and second message received 9.10.2023

Scan date 11/7
First text 19/9
Second text 9/10

Looks like a lot of us waiting around the same date.
