Etc. Then add a work coach note to say the rate your child is now receiving, can disabled child element at .... (rate) please be sent to a DM to be backdated to.... and added to future payments

@Mariannec 🤣 hopefully he doesn’t have to wait too much longer then 🤞 x

16 weeks this week for me. Scan date 23/08. Thankfully I’ve got a really busy week this week so at least this week will hopefully fly by and it’s another week done.

@funinthesun19 Hi I'm scan date 25/08. Was told 19.5 weeks to start with, had a letter to say 15 weeks and each time I've rang I've been told differently, 18 weeks, 20 weeks. So I have absolutely no idea which one it will be 😂such a draining process

Has anyone else got the same Scan Date: 1st September

Received my 3rd text today to say they are still dealing with my dla form.
This wait is awful 😖

I wonder why some people have had 3 texts but others haven’t. My scan date is 14/8 and last text was 7/11

@cocoapple same scan date and same text date no third text here xx

I called them again this afternoon because the last time I called them they had the wrong scan date (they'd put the scan date a month after the actual one). I've been told 3 times it's been changed to the correct one but every time I call up they tell me the wrong one again even though they told me it's definitely an error 🙄 Anyway I got through after an hour and a half and they say it's been corrected now to 21/8 but that they are still working on applications from July and haven't started August yet. Get different info every time I call! She did say they're getting through them much quicker now so she would hope in 3 weeks it will be looked at. I really didn't want to call again, but we have had to stop my daughter's therapy now as we don't have any money left. I desperately want to be able to tell her therapist we will be able to continue in the new year, but I can't at the moment 😔

Scan date 14/8 last text 7.11
I havent recieved a 3rd text either
Still not heard anything was gonna call but think I'm going to wait another week

I’m hoping that by us not receiving a 3rd text it means we’ll hear something soon. Probably jinxed myself now🤣

@cocoapple I keep looking out for you. I really hope your wait isn’t much longer. 🤞🏽

@MummyOf2DL thank you☺️ x

@Holly1991 My sons scan date is also 1/9 and I also got a 3rd text today.

@Holly1991 my scan date is 1st September I got the third text today

Same scan date as me xxx

Scan sat 24/10 long wait by looks!

@LollyRiv how do u private message ??

Some one in the Facebook group was awarded today, 16 weeks + 5 Days. She said she was call this evening at 7:30. I am wondering which number do they use to call and if they are leaving a message if they don't get someone. I had a private call today around 7:25 pm. This long wating has made me become paranoid lol

@Mumoflittlegirlepilepsy if you click on the 3 dots at the top of my message it should give you the option to PM xx

Would you say these are good evidence for a 2 year old
he’s been referred to few people non verbal, development delay

Scan date 08/09
1st txt 13/11
2nd txt 5/12
congratulations to everyone whose been awarded so far, I think we all deserve a medal for the stress from waiting!
good luck all 🍀

Hello. Off topic but.. Can I ask who people bank with where they see their pending payments early. I think that's pretty cool! Seeing a few people refer to pending incoming payments re back pay x

Scan date 1/8. Still not been awarded. Phoned last Friday and still not been looked at. Was told it had been with a DM since 1/12. I’m going to ring ag 9am tomorrow morning 🤞

congrats to everyone who’s been awarded! X

My forms were signed for at the place on 18/8. I’ve had two txt since but that’s it. Does this sound normal to you?

My last text was 13th November
Had two texts . Scan date 18th August
Don't expect to be awarded my sons on the waiting list for suspected adhd. He has terrible anxiety and had tics that come and go. Cahms have said it's over a year waiting so don't have much evidence I sent in two letters from fhr school . And told them they can contact the school Dr's etc. He really needs extra support. I have 3 boys and he's the middle child . My eldest needs his own room as be is currently sharing with the youngest but Mt middle one has to have his own room as he just can't share. X
