[Emma2345]

New thread as this 1 is nearing the end now

Anyone?

@mummyof3girlsx brilliant news fingers crossed for you am 3/11 when was your scan date and did you phone up for forms xx

@mummyof3girlsx so made up for you hopefully you will find out over the weekend. It’s nearly over for you 🤞🤞 xx

@mummyof3girlsx woohoo you’ve finally made it out the holding queue best of luck and hope you get the award your child deserves x

Don't quote me on this because I might be wrong, but I think you get the back pay on what you have been awarded as that's in place and if they change their mind you would get the difference when that decision is made. Again don't quote me I might be wrong

ahh thank you everyone, let wait and see how it goes! fingers crossed for everyone waiting this is torture!!! @Mothertothreeboys I am 2/11 I didn't call up for forms I had them myself :) xx

Aw brilliant gives me some hope then I had forms my self currently on hold see what they say such a anxious process isn’t it xx

@Mothertothreeboys honestly i have been told so many different things over the past week, the fact it went to a CM yday gives me a really small bit of relief - i did say to him is it usually about 2 weeks from now? and he said well that's what we say however as we are so so busy they are flying through them so i will give it a couple of days and see what happens. He also mentioned sometimes they call for further checks so keep an eye out on the phone for a phone call, i have also requested a text - i will leave it now and call monday if i don't hear anything x

@Kyarcy1316 thank you so much for your response! Xx

@mummyof3girlsx yay got through spoke to lovely lady very polite went to cm should hear within a week 🤞 we’ve got this nearly over for us I hope xxx

Oh man I wasn’t going to call until next week but I might have to call tomorrow now we got this 💪soo close

Just rung them to update some information had my sons progress report back 😭😭 it started hes significantly delayed and needs support I cried, spoke to a amazing chap who updated details and said it is not with a dm at the mo which I figured but call back end of march if I have not heard anything but should be by middle march I was suprised as my scan date is 20/11

Oh, dear… sounds a lot like our situation. My son was awarded MRC and LRM when he was 3, obviously things have changed A LOT since then and unfortunately, not for the better. He struggles so much that he spent most of yr7 attending school for 1 hour a day (SEN base). His new teacher suggested he should have HRM and HRC and a blue badge as they are trying to get him out in the community and it’s so difficult even with a 2-2-1 ratio.
I called to enquire and they sent me a form, I added all the documents I have from recent school reports and appointments. I genuinely thought teacher couldn’t be wrong about this as she has seen so many kids… oh, well, fingers crossed, it’s hard to make a decision when you only have a couple of pieces of paper to assess the situation. Wish they could see what it’s like 🥺

@Chickapea77 i sobbed yesterday my daughter has a chromosome deletion and was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2020.. she has a severe learning and disability delay and all the information I provided I truly believe she should of got HRC. The educational psychologist said she’s at a year 1 level and she’s in year 8. Worst part is I hate claiming of her disability so left it for nearly 3 years before doing a change of circumstances.. I’m not one of those that will exaggerate her health like some for money! It’s infuriates me! :(

@Mothertothreeboys woo!! not long now for us i hope. He did say on the phone once it gets to the CM it really won't take long due to the work load they have.. so fingers crossed its soon x

thank gosh lol, yes lady said within a week I should hear she said we say a week just incase they need to phone parents or child’s school my son home schools and has for past 3 nearly 4 years so should be straight forward surely but shall see good luck to you hun fingers crossed we hear over weekend xx

@Mothertothreeboys yeah to be fair i put in a letter from the teacher which was a referral request so was quite indepth. I also added her SEN support plan from from ed pysch so fingers crossed they won't have to contact them and it will be straight forward! x

Scan date 3/11.. Just rang and it's with a dm since yesterday.. 🙏 Fingers crossed for everyone still waiting

Aw brilliant scan date buddy 😅 shouldn’t be long now for us x

Aw perfect 🤩 fingers crossed xx

What’s your scan date?

Decided to bite the bullet and call. On hold for 55 mins.

Scan date 1/11
1 text 12/2

Was awarded 27/2 mrc lrm no text received to say decision made.
In absolute shock as I didn't think I'd written enough.
Good luck everyone waiting for awards and decisions. 🤞🤞🤞

@Ree55 great news!! i am 2/11 with dm since yday so hoping not much longer x

@mummyof3girlsx thankyou can I also ask did you request forms in October then so roughly about 20 weeks or more since the request of forms as I’m 13/11 since requesting forms and scan date is 22/11 so I’ve been told around end of march beging of April I should hear something x
