New thread as this one will be full soon 🙂

@Keddie i think you will hear next week you are 7 weeks today with that date. Mine was done in 7 weeks and 6 days x

Thanks, I am not calling again now will wait and see what happens x

@keddie fingers crossed for you x

Thank you @Ilovemychildren123 I'm going to ask they look at an extension on the award because the diagnosis is there, along with lots of info to show the delay, asd and gdd are confirmed diagnosises along with impairment for gdd by the paediatrician x I hope they do send the forms automaticcally they did say that they would do that back then x I'll do an Mr if I get turned down x

@Ilovemychildren123 nothing yet I'm 7 weeks Thursday so hoping to hear end of next week xx

@Jneill2021 good luck x

@Aussielover I’m not sure if you can request they look at the length of the award on its own but if they add mobility they may extend anyway and if they don’t add mobility they could still extend the award. Good luck with it all x

Scan date 16/10/23 was supposed to be in for 11/10/23 do you think they will back date it to when I first called even tho it was 5 days late? Took two weeks to arrive there in the post!!
have had two letters and a text so far…

@Ilovemychildren123 thank you so much your advice has helped me so much and given me the drive to go for it x I have collected evidence and waiting for an NHS worker to complete a statement of needs for my son, got diagnosis and letters which all show the impairment and exhibit disruptive behavioural problems x

23/10 is only 12 weeks today im afraid. I've been working out my dates (29/9 which will be 17 weeks on Friday)

I don't think so, and wouldn't expect them to be quite yet if they are done in order. At the minute, it looks like around 15/9 are with DMs

Does anyone know how long it takes for extra evidence to get scanned onto the system if sent by special delivery? Thanks

13 weeks today

First claim

I think then 15 weeks on the 5th feb, or do I not count Christmas week?

@jrl2104 wow that was fast! Congrats on the award

15 weeks from 23rd October will be 12th Feb.

@LoudBee I work it out to be 15 weeks on 5th Feb, not 12th x

Thank you, I was wondering if I don’t count Christmas though? X

@LoudBee I’m totally counting it! Even if it’s just to make me feel better knowing I’m closer to this wait being over with! Good luck with your claim x

100% me too! I’m thinking the worst and anything else will be a bonus! X

Good luck with your claim too! X

Same I’m getting grey hairs 😭😭

@jrl2104 I have the scan date of 26/10. Was this a new claim and what date are they going by?
