@Looloo12332 I know it really is! I’ve been driving myself crazy since i sent the forms over thinking everything, writing up more sending it in. I’ve got 2 claims pending for both my boys ages 2&nearly 4 . I worried because they are young x

Hi all. Been browsing for a while. Scan date 21/08 for DD who is suspected ASD. Bit anxious about the decision. Just a quick question, when I asked my DD senco to fill out the statement part she said she would however she wanted the full form before she did it. Is this normal? TYIA!

Yes. My sons nursery Senco and my other sons high school Senco requested I pass it to them once I’d filled it out x

Looloo12332 · 08/12/2023 19:09

@mumtumok don't feel they are to young iv seen loads of children on here with babies get awarded let's hope all out kids get what is needed.When I applied for my son 2 years ago I sent one peice of paper in he get HRC and LRM xx

mumtumok · 08/12/2023 19:14

@Looloo12332 ah thank you. I feel like I’ve sent the important stuff you know. They are both possible asd, my youngest struggles really bad with sensory processing - he rocks , swings ,flaps ect. My eldest has obsessive tendencies and extreme aggression . Having the DLA would open up so much opportunity for them x

porridgeisbae · 08/12/2023 19:16

@AHelpfulHand It can be a wait, but then God willing you get loads backdated as a lump sum.

Paige36 · 08/12/2023 19:17

@Mariannec Thank you! I wasn’t too sure about it as she asked for the form and said she’d send it off herself which I was unsure about so I left it blank😞 but I’ll bare this in mind if I need to do MR x

Looloo12332 · 08/12/2023 19:17

I hope they both get it they deserve it.My sin is possible asd no diagnosis but still git awarded xx

MummyOf2DL · 08/12/2023 19:23

@Looloo12332 I got my second text 3.5 weeks ago and a text today so say my daughter has qualified

porridgeisbae · 08/12/2023 19:30

@MummyOf2DL Yay! Congratulations.

Mariannec · 08/12/2023 19:41

@Paige36 definitely don’t let them send it off.
I sent one of my sons applications during the holidays so I couldn’t get the Senco to fill in the section in the original application. I just sent my photocopies of the form over to the senco when the school reopened and he did his statement on a piece of headed paper and I sent it to DLA as additional evidence. Would that be an option for you ? X
