Following on from part 17…

@Nicole313 keep strong hun
Extra evidence, statements from family and friends/teachers/ health visitor/ social worker
Diarys for food, sleep, extra care at night times/daytimes
Any proffesionals involed, schools, letters for hospitals,phyc reports, speech and lang,ehcp,independent care plan
U no when i had a statement back for my son it said in his ehcp that he wets the bed and has night terrors becuase i didnt write that in my bit they didnt award me anything for it thats just an example

So sorry it was declined , fight it all the way , the longer mines taking I’m sure it will also be a decline xx

Trying to call back as I’m sure she said awarded from 5/7 but i sent the forms back bang on 6w so should be 23/5
need to know for UC

How long is the approx wait for them to pick up the phone this morning please.

@MumOf5Skids what was your last text date?

So sorry @Nicole313 do you mind me asking what grounds you applied on xx

Hey guys I’m just wondering if those awarded today could say their last text date, I know some people say it’s a fluke but I’m just interested. On the last chats a lot of people were saying it was 5 weeks after their last text.

Scan date 12.07
Phoned up and lovely lady answered, said that it could be with a DM by end of this week/end and to phone on Friday for a update and if no update on Friday keep phoning next week as early as possible! Good luck to all still waiting and congrats to all awarded today!

@Mummyof5kiddos i haven’t had any texts, just 2 letters.
ofc I cannot find the letters or remember the dates 😅
one was 3weeks into July. Other was about mid sept?

@Tmxx my daughter is 13 waiting for Asd and adhd assessment also she has really bad anxiety and self harming so we are constantly supervising her her social skills are bad so she will need help if she is out and about she's fussy with foods and textures,materials etc she also is very aggressive towards everyone and she can be a danger to herself and others. She refuses to go to school

I am going to fight

I am 11/07 and felt Friday was a good time to ring but I won't be able to as its my oldest bday and I have an appointment with the baby over an hour away so will be doing the drive at 9am! Please keep me updated when you ring friday 🙏 xx

100% fight it all the way hun sounds like you defo have a strong case 💪 🤞 I have everything crossed for you xx

Call me crazy but I'm only on 14 weeks and I'm now on hold, curiosity has got the better of me! 😂

Oooo I’m Suffolk and scan date 14/7, did you call up to find out as I may just have to make a call x

@Tmxx awh I definitely will! After seeing a 15.07 scan date being awarded the curiosity is definitely getting to me to just phone and see but I'm definitely going to hold out until friday! I'll definitely keep you updated! Good luck!x

@Sammy8919 did you get threw hun any update? Xx

@Nicole313 my son is in a similar situation which is why I think I might be declined, the only difference is he’s not just revived Dan ASD diagnosis I’ve sent it off but don’t hold out much hope.

The random further ones than everyone else is the reason I rang hoping I was going to be on of them 🤣🤣 xx

Let us know if you ring 🙈 I'm not sulffork but really wanna test out if it could be some areas are quicker!? Xx

Anyone from norfolk?

@Nicole313 your daughter sounds like my son that’s why I think we will be declined only difference is that we have asd diagnosis waiting adhd and our appointment with cahms did you send anything from school as all I had was letter to say he on Sen register one page profile and that ehcp application had gone in.

but school was crap with giving me any evidence

What scan date and areas is everyone, as if it is by area everyone can kind of have a idea as of when?
Scan date 12.07
North West area!

I’m now on hold so will update if/when I manage to get through x

Scan 3/7 West Midlands on hold now
