Hi does anyone know exactly how long it’s roughly taking for a decision I no I’m miles away from one as I only sent the form back to them yesterday for my second son I already receive dla for one of my children due to breathing that was a claim made in march and got awarded in July so roughly about 16-17 weeks waiting is this roughly the same time scales 😂? Also does anyone think this sounds good from the school it’s only been done by the nursery manager not been done by SENCO although he is on SEND register at school I have sent peaditriton letters from 2 different paediatricians with both same feelings and concerns (possible ASD) along with my claim it’s for my nearly 3 year old he can’t communicate awaiting social communication pathway at age 3 for asd diagnosis and awaiting speech and language appointment as he failed for everything communication wise he is currently 32 months old working at age 1 year old so he is almost 2 years delayed in a lot of aspects doesn’t interact with anyone physically violent doesn’t like loud noises screams all the time bites hits throws objects smashes tv’s throwing things hand flaps and covers ears very sensory excetra I’m just wondering if i should also get a letter from HV to go along with all these reports as. I feel school didn’t really go into to much detail he needs constant supervision both day and night as he has no danger awareness and attacks his younger brother and older sister does not sleep at night if he does I’m lucky if it’s for an hour or 2 then he is awake for the rest of the night and day , does this seem like I would possibly get it as I’m just worried due to his age with him being 2 almost 3 , he is 3 in march so by the time it does get looked at he will probably of turned 3 and would of been excepted on social communication pathway do you think all of this is enough information as I don’t have nothing else evidence wise or would a letter from HV help as well ? Thanks In advance the stress is unreal and the wait is horrible as I already went thru this with my other little one not long ago but the extra money would help out massively as I’m currently paying for Nursey to try and better his interaction and speech and will also help out with travel and other expenses.

Hello

I’m abit confused/ happy I checked my bank this afternoon and I can see a payment coming in from DWP by the amount I assume it’s the DLA back payment but I was told it wouldn’t be till December time. I’m just worried as I haven’t had any letter to state award and the dates of the award exactly in fact I have never received any letters from them just two texts about a month ago.

scan date 21/7

I've heard of people getting backdated pay before they recieve a letter. I suppose you could ring them and just enquire what the payment is and what your child has been awarded. Great news that you have finally got your decision if it is that. My date is 31/8 a long way off for my child's claim

Hi dla received my sons form early sept I’m currently on week 14 of 15 and was wondering if anyone around this time has heard anything?
