Hey all just parking here for updates on dates ... scan date 14/8 second text 7/11 my 5 year old has asd and possibly now adhd ... I rang them up last week to inform them my little guys school has said mainstream school isn't helping him and they don't think he can do the work going on from year two so we are now putting papers in to transfer him to a additional needs school ... would they take that into account ive also sent echp off and the senco teacher at school filled in the paperwork for me .. still worried they will decline it tho :(

Hi I hope u don't mind me joining in.My scan date is tye 14/8 so a long way for me yet.I didn't send off any evidence but the school is now doing me a supporting letter to send off to them.My daughter is 6 in year 2 she can't read or write amd her understanding of language is very bad she has no stranger danger and will go off with anyone.The ALENCO at her school os convinced she is ADHD not the hyperactive type the attention deficit type.She isn't evan at nursery level and her teacher has said she is really struggling now.I have a meeting with the advisory teacher from the council on the 24th with her school also.We have agreed a unit is bed for her and I am now waiting fir school psychologist to get in touch to see what's available to her.she is verbal and thrives at sport she is a tough case and to the outside world seems like she has no problems but she can't evan write her own name.I really dint think she will get dla but I will take to MR with more evidence if she gets declined I did write on the form to please contact her school and they will tell you all her needs

I'm sure they will contact the school I wrote on my daughters phone to please contact the school she is going down tye ADHD pathway and she will be going unto a unit to meet her needs
I'm the scan date as you good luck to us both let's hope we all get what our dc deserve

Parking myself on here to keep an eye on people's awards! Hoping for you all to recieve your answers real soon! The wait is terrible 🥰🥰🥰

The wait is long it took me 8 week to fill out the form

Good morning guys
Scan date the 10.07.23 recieved a payment into the bank today think my lo has been awarded middle rate care what a wait glad its finally over thanks 4 all the updates kept me going over the time. Good luck to everyone waiting to hear and mrs.

Scan date 7.7, awarded last Thursday which was a day off 18 weeks. Confirmation letter arrived yesterday, middle rate care, low rate mobility.

Can I ask please, my child and I live with my DM who shares his care with me. I earn a little too much to claim Carers Allowance and have just been migrated on to UC from Tax credits. Can DM claim Carers Allowance ( she meets the general criteria) or will this affect me claiming carers element on UC?

Congratulations ladies well done to you both!!.I think if yoir muk claims carers it will affect your award of uc but double check lovely
I'm so happy for u both

@Billie1993 im calling 9am on the dot 😅 mine went with a case manager yesterday morning so hopefully some news maybe no decision as of yet but we will see are you calling hun? Xxxxx

@everyone

How long is it between texts? I have 2 claims pending for both my boys . ASD. I have received one letter for my youngest and a text message but that doesn’t say what child it’s for but I’m guessing my eldest- what was everyone’s wait between texts ?

Scan date for 1 is 28/09 unsure of the second

Bless you guys from June or July I’m pulling my hair out already lol

And also does anyone know the number I have to call to find out the scan date for my second ? Sorry for all the comments 🤦‍♂️

@Mummyto2lads I know me too imagine the wait from July/June! Just glad they are getting answers finally. I'm dreading all these weeks ahead waiting x

@BoyGirlMomxox whats your scan date ? X

Hi all, I've been watching the thread for a while, congratulations to everyone that's had their awards.
Scan date is 28/07 so hopefully I've not got much longer to wait.
Last text 23/10
I phoned last Friday and was told to call again in 2-3 weeks as its taking 17-18 weeks, not sure I'll be able wait that long to call again though so will probably ring again Friday.

My texts were 19/9 and 9/10 scan date 14/7
im hoping this week I get an answer! It’s been over 5 weeks since last text and 17 and 4 days since scanned. This last two weeks have dragged!! X

@Mummyto2lads 18th October not even had a letter yet 😂 I sent extra evidence last week so need to check they've got that x
