[FlutterByASD]

Thread following on from part 27

Congratulations to you and for you baby too! Seeing people like you that explain what they've sent off and the fact they got accepted gives me a little hope 🥺
Best wishes for the future to you both 💕

Just called and was told by a lovely lady it’s in the que with the case manager and should hear within 2 weeks . Scan date was 16/10 . I don’t know what to believe 😂

I've just called with a scan date of 10th Oct and was told I should have a response week of 19th Feb and to send any extra evidence recorded delivery to make sure it gets to them in time to be looked at

Been told its taking around 18 weeks for decisions and should have a decision week of the 19th Feb! Depends on who you talk to haha!

@Sharniexxx7 no ring I did say after they told me with dm n got told my daughter was awarded my scan date was 28/9 xxx

just got a text of DWP about the cost of living payment😩but I was hoping it was the text saying we’re still looking at your claim as ain’t had a text yet😂 only received two letters so far

Can someone guide me with UC i have reported the change and put it from 27th September. Will they automatically back date it to that date or do i need to add a note on journal and request it to b backdated how should i word this please x

Scan date: 27th September
I just got off the phone 1 hour wait
rang on Monday and was in the que for a DM
now it’s currently with a DM should hear in the next 2weeks 🙏🏽

Does anyone what the number they call you off incase they need more information? Is it a private number, 08 or 03 or an actual mobile number?

@Debs243 08000720161 this is the number the DM called me from yesterday. Finally turned over my mandatory reconsideration after 10 weeks. Xox

@Mojo161989 thank you.. And congratulations 🥰

@Lisa3kids so sorry you’ve been declined. I think I’ll be the same. My child is 15 and I didn’t have a clue when I filled in the forms. I know I didn’t fill them in right. Hopefully it’ll be over turned when you do an MR. X

Hi, I've reported a change for my daughter on UC, I've requested back pay for her disability element and also reported I care for my child now but not claiming carers allowance. And asked for backpay for care element in my journal also. Is this right? Will someone respond to my journal. Thanks in advance. X

Hi, just wondering what an EHCP is? I’m in wales and my son has an individual development plan and an individual education plan, are these the same thing?

@Gracie1909 just leave a message and ask them if updates are showing there end that’s what I did with the carers I get lwrca and recieve pip would I still get caters on universal credit?
also congrats on your reward! Xxx

My just turned 3 year old rips her toe nails off too. Horrid isn't it? I'm glad you got your award. I've not applied for her yet, she's just been referred to neurodevelopmental.

@Amycroft 2 weeks ago tomorrow I updated uc, I followed it up a week later asking if the carers element will be added on automatically and what about back pay and she said its with a dm and will keep me posted. I popped into the jobcentre and seen someone who added on the carers element to my claim

1h38mins on hold.... our systems are updating and only some of us have access to upload new details... of course the person I got through to was not one of them 😂Told to call again next week, did say was looking around 18 weeks mark at the minute, so that'll be around12/02. Scan date 10/10

Hi I have been watching the thread for a long time now and have never commented but wanted to say my son has been awarded MRC and LRM today after I rang. Scan date was 29/9. It was awarded on the 30th of Jan.

Tip for any Welsh speakers when ringing, use the Welsh option as I got through straight away to a very lovely man.

Good luck to you all.

I wouldn't hold back putting in a claim, you could potentially be missing out on extra £££ needed for your child. I kno the form is very very daunting itself and its hard to put down in words but i think the sooner you can the better, im happy to help anyone struggling with their claim who Is similar to my 2yr old daughter ASD. Plenty of examples to use xx

i was just wondering do you call to find out you’ve been declined or do they send you a letter? I’ve still got along wait ahead of me yet as my scan date is 20/11 x

Hi all, was told yesterday on the phone we've been awarded on Tuesday, am I right in thinking the back pay takes 3-5 days as we haven't had a payment yet, and it looks like everyone who's been awarded has had theirs 😂

I was told today mine was aslo rewarded on tuesday and that payment will be in hopefully tomorrow friday or Tuesday at the latest.

@Sharniexxx7 thanks so much, just paranoid I was lied to on the phone 😂 they can't do that, can they?😂😂

Yeah scan date is the 28/09
