I think mine will be a decline to hun but we can only try as we know best if our kids require more care than others! If your worried about not making the Mr in time due to post I'd definitly regularly ring! I don't think i will do Mr if mine is a no because I physically don't have it in me to keep feeling like this! Xx

Iv never even looked at it like that you know so if no scan dates on weekend that means onto the next dates? Xxxxxx

Me neither! But it makes it feel like the wait won't be as long now 🤣🤣 xxx

Just parking myself here to support you lovely lot.
Can't offer much advice as I'm new to all of it too, but I will try if I can. Just here wishing you all good news

@MangoPepsiLover @Tmxx i think mine will be a decline, never applied before but my son has a few problems and was advised to do it. Since sending the application he was diagnosed with ASD and just last week had his ADHD assessment. He’s also been diagnosed with hyper mobility which is causing a lot of pain in his hands but not knowing how to film out the forms I didn’t put it down. I’m waiting for the reports and also adhd assessment to come back just Incase I need to do an MR. I just feel this is all taking so long and to be honest I’m still coming to terms with all his diagnosis’s I think I definitely had my head in the sand and just assumed my son was the “typical 3rd child the youngest etc etc” it wasn’t until he started a new school because we moved that the teachers kept calling me in 9 months later and here we are. Anyway sorry about that rant 😂

heyyy! Been a watcher since summer. Scan date 6/7. Literally just woken up to a text informing me my son has been awarded , haven’t called them as of yet to find out the rates and I hardly sent any evidence in (nursery SEND information / last visit from paperwork) . Good luck to everyone waiting as these thread really kept me sane ❤️

Congratulations glad your wait it over!!

New claim for my toodler diagnosed ASD

Start of claim is 24/8
11 weeks since rang for the forms

(( Scan date 4/10 )) ANYONE ELSE have same scan date or near mine ??

Not recieved any text messages yet

Renewel for my son diagnosed Adhd/ASD
his ends 1st febuary 2024
Forms sent 13/10
said i wont hear back until the final week its due to end hoping he gets his award again 🙏🤞

The wait is feeling long already they told me i wont hear back until the first week of febuary 2024 for BOTH 😏🙄so not got much hope from my side but will be putting in MR for both if decelined as both are diagnosed and have a lot of needs day/night fingers crossed .

@Doymum Hypermobility here to, severely in lower limbs, she doesn't walk far at all thats why Physio said to apply.

Also diagnosed Dyspraxia, and suspected dyslexia.

I have applied before and been rejected, so thats why I think it'll be a no. Also people on here who have DC I'd say are worse than mine getting a no.

Well done @SENMUMSHA ❤️ @Doymum @Tmxx surely has to be soon for us and k hope we all get the award we deserve for our children! But I feel you when it gets closer you just feel more decline don’t you! But I will do a MR most definitely if I do get declined xxxxx

Congratulations, this gives me hope. Same scan date, sent detailed sen reports from 2 nurseries, salt review for ehcp and other little bits xx

@MangoPepsiLover i had never heard of hyper mobility before, my son struggles bad with his hands I can’t imagine how much worse it is in your lower limbs. Praying we all get what our children deserve

I shouldn’t laugh but just had a text on my phone, I ran so fast I knocked the cat and my son flying only to find out it was a special offer from Pizza Hut 😂😂😂😂😂

@MangoPepsiLover my daughter Just got accepted for her hypermobility, she scored 9/9 on Beighton scale but she's worse on lower limbs, elbows and hips... her spine also curves to the right and bladder issues. She just got HRC and LRM she also has suspected adhd and flat feet xxx

How many weeks was your wait altogether xx

@Doymum that is amazing 🤣🤣🤣🤣 love that xxx

@Rebeccanew honestly the closer it gets the more I wonder why I even bothered applying because I'm so convinced now it's going to be declined! Xxx

18 weeks & 1 day since the last text & Thursday would of made 18 weeks since scan date

@Mumto2sengirlsxx We have flat feet to, on prescription insoles for them which I did include in the form but didn't have the prescription for them, they are mentioned by Physio though in her report I think.

Scan date 6/7
Last text 2/10
East Sussex
Called today, on hold 1 and 1/2 hours
Told it's with decision maker!

@Smallhall100 Goodluck hun, keep me updated if you get a decision please 😊 x

Hey! I’m new to posting but have been watching this thread like a hawk. This thread has helped me so much so I thought I’d share to give everyone who are still waiting some hope!

my scan date was 5/7
last text 2/10

got a text today to say he has been awarded! So grateful!

I sent in No evidence what so ever just filled out the forms and put my gps and health visitors phone number on if they needed any information from them….i have a 2.5 year old son who is non verbal and displaying autism characteristics, undiagnosed at the moment but gp has now made the referral since turning 2 and a half.

good luck to all waiting :)

Congratulations lovely. I've been on pins since finding out it's with a decision maker lol it's great you sent no evidence off and got awarded. Just goes to show they do read the forms and the more information you put in it the better. Will you be calling to find out rates or waiting for the letter? xx

I'm tempted to call again tomorrow. Seems quick first thing, but of course that might be jumping the gun. What time is best to call later on?

@Asdmummyhere i keep looking out for your updates, I think it’s worse once you know it’s with a DM mine was for nearly a week. Fingers crossed for a positive award for you xx

Parking here well behind everyone still 😂😭

@Binks90 adhd and autism here ♥️ x
