@Keddie @Gracie1909 i havnt even for this far yet I made the coc on the 31st had the dla element added to my statement but not carers element

I've sent 10 notes on my journal now and noone has got back to me at all called 2 days ago and he said juat keep adding notes he was no help at all!! I'm getting really frustrated with it all now

I have had 2 letters updated to my journal to say that they have agreed to back date my claim. No idea when I see the funds etc or how much? Would either of you know? x

Hi guys do you think scp refferal will also be good enough evidence this was supposed to of been sent months ago I only knew it hadn’t been done when reaching out to social communication pathway this week to find out they never received a referral after back and forth between Hv and skwl I asked them to send forward the referral to me as HV was under impression skwl had sent it and skwl had emailed it to HV to send off all annoying if I’m honest as this was suppsoed to of been done in December I recieved email today and sent it off to SCP and they’ve replied to say it’s been recieved and will need to be triaged excetra do you think I should send all the referral proof as well as email acknowledgement of referral we do not yet have acceptance as obviously this was only done today and then it has to be reviewed and triaged to see how urgent and weather he will be accepted on to the SCP pathway for autism diagnosis? The have put he is violent towards staff and children and can not control the urge to throw toys and hit other children so all really good evidence to go with my claim as I’ve put how violent he is at home too in the dla form excetra Thanks in advance x

No he was only 2 when we applied and doesn’t attend nursery so I had no one else to put on there. I put his SALT contact details on but she didn’t mention that try they’d contacted her so I don’t think they did.

When I applied for my daughter (school age), I put contact details of the school on there but as far as I’m aware they didn’t contact school. I only put in evidence of OT assessment and then someone who supports her emotional well-being wrote on the people who know them bit.

Having applied and been granted MRC for two kids, I suspect that the enormous write up I did for both kids was most helpful as it showed in great detail the care that I’m providing over and above what other kids their age require. That’s what the criteria says. It’s more about what extra care they require rather than the needs they have. So I focused on what I was doing to help them more than what their needs were if that makes sense.

Edited

That's really helpful, thank you.

I religiously followed the Cerebra guide and also wrote quite a lot (six pages typed, nearly 3000 words!), detailing the care we provide (backed up by the paediatrician and OT reports - though obviously some of that is based on what I'd said to them).

Just conscious that obviously she's at school for a large part of the day, so wonder if they will check with them. Though I did put on the form that she masks.

mummyof3girlsx · 14/02/2024 19:01

@RainsbowandBunnies do they backpay on a certain day did they say? Is it just Tuesdays & Wednesdays or is it any day? I can’t bare calling them so I’m going to start checking bank god help me.. I’m gearing myself up for a decline considering I really didn’t send a lot in :( xx

Janemama2024 · 14/02/2024 19:14

Had two letters and one text 29/01. I believe scan date around 27/10..Nothing yet. Would they have rang by now if they needed more evidence?

The cerebra guide is great. If you’ve followed that I reckon you have a great chance. My daughter masks at school too so I remember feeling the same. I bet you’ve done the form really well and will get awarded. Hopefully not too long to wait now x

Mrssnee16 · 14/02/2024 22:05

I finally got somewhere with uc, had a note on my journal today to say the backpack for carers element will be in my bank on Friday and tobys dla has been verified and is with a decision maker for the back pay. Hope I'm not waiting too long for that to be sorted as the wait for dla itself was crippling. Good luck to every1 still waiting 😊

Louiseash · 14/02/2024 22:57

mkaislam · 14/02/2024 17:12

I was sent them in October as my claim was due to end in March. Sent off in November :)

I had to complain online because I was being told so many things about backpay. Finely had head person call today and he sorted it while on the phone was waiting since 18th Jan verified on 31stv
