[Mummyrach13]

Following on from part 21 as it is about to become full! 😊

Congratulations!! What evidence did you send in? x

Mine is the same 19/07 been with DM since last Monday. Going to try and call later today and see it's been looked at x

scan date 21-07 finally had text this morning to say my son has been awarded! On phone now waiting to hear the rates. Went to do Thursday I’m over the moon

@JowoodyASDPDA thats great news 🎉🎉🎉

Just seen on a fb page that someone was awarded today from a scan date of 11/08. Anyone else getting awarded from scan dates in August yet?

(My scan date is 03/08)

@Ames52 same scan date as me 3/8, still waiting. Called last week and was told I'd have a decision by the 22nd December. Baffles me how they skip dates 🤦🏼‍♀️ I'll probably call on Thursday.

@Kelseeyx and I called last week and was told a decision by the 18th Dec but they were trying to get extra staff in so may it be before. It really is baffling. I didn't think anyone with a scan date in August had been awarded / declined yet but then to see August 11th doesn't make any sense!😣

I’m 21/7 and still waiting, I’m hoping I’ll know soon with everyone the same date being rewarded, good luck everyone and congratulations to all who’s been successful

I’m currently on hold been on hold 44 mins wonder how long it’s going to take today 😩

Thank you, SEN support plans, letters to show both children are on the pathway for diagnosis, Tahms statement, senco statements, a report from family support worker, i’ve called my gp a number of times, have had dealing with social services due to sons behaviour, I just went into detail about everything at home x

@Ames52 @Kelseeyx we have a scan date of 02/08. When I called last week to give additional info I was told it will be with DM by 06/12 (18wks). Can’t understand why we’re all given diff info 🤯
Fingers crossed not too long!!

@Loumumoftwo I think the wait would be more manageable if the goalposts and information didn't keep changing. Hopefully we'll hear soon. xx

Been declined I’m just going to gather more evidence and do a MR as I know my daughter is definitely entitled another 5 week wait then

So sorry to hear this

@Mummynic725 what's your scan date please

@Tammie23 19/07

@MammyAng84 its okay I’m going to do a MR and if I have to go to a tribunal I will thankyou though x

@3littlebird5 Scan date 21/07 and my last text was 16th October too. Rang this morning and a really helpful lady said its with DM and asked if I wanted a text with the decision. Fingers crossed we hear soon 🤞

I haven't had chance to ring today unfortunately I got held up with a client before my meeting and I've just spent 2+ hours on the phone on hold to try and speak my bank about something else.

Will try tomorrow afternoon but seeing all the dates around mine (I'm 19/07) I'm now even more convinced its a decline.

@Mummynic725 I'm sorry to hear that..... keep fighting for it.

I called this morning and it is still with a DM since last Monday x

@sabz300 Hope we hear soon it's driving me insane

Hi does anybody know how long a MR for change of circumstances can take please ? X

@Anonymousks1984 I have done an MR after COC last week and I was told 4-5 weeks for it to be sent to a new DM and reviewed x
