oh no way! I hope they sort it for you soon, I’ve heard awful things about universal credit, I’m still on the old style, dreading the move over, I know I need to tell tax credits but I’m dreading it I case it triggers the move xx

Hi all when I called lst week the lovely lady checked my weeks and counted upto 16 weeks but my scan date was 29 th Nov so has confused me abit. Like it's not bad enough waiting now dunno my dates lol 😆 🙃

Mellieg11 · 01/03/2024 15:37

well done.. finally the wait is over for you x

bonz2023 · 01/03/2024 15:47

Well another week passed me by.... I don't know if I've got another week in me 😂😂

Mellieg11 · 01/03/2024 15:48

ha ha i was thinking the same thing. its so long isnt it. I put no evidence at all just a repeat prescription thing and doctors details. not holing any hope but who knows fingers crossed

Gemmaoscar · 01/03/2024 15:57

Surely this has to be the last week now had enough the wait seems forever now xx

sjm100 · 01/03/2024 16:05

17 weeks on Monday Im hoping next week the wait will be over! 🤞

mummyof3girlsx · 01/03/2024 16:18

just to give you all some hope, I wrote minimal on the forms (this has haunted me since because I honestly didn’t think I wrote enough) and included a letter from her teacher & her sen support plan. We was 17 weeks yesterday. Went to a DM on Wednesday and had a call today to confirm bank details to be told she’s been awarded MRC & LRM! My scan date 2/11 so ladies your all next 🤞🏼 keeping everything crossed for you all x

STEPH691 · 01/03/2024 16:18

@bonz2023 feel the same way can’t cope with this waiting if I phone next week and it’s still in that holding cue I think I will cry xx

Gemmaoscar · 01/03/2024 16:26

@mummyof3girlsx i don’t feel I’ve wrote enough at all only evidence I had was support from senco at nursery and referal letters all I’ve thought about for days is I haven’t put enough x

my5to1 · 01/03/2024 16:29

i was short and sweet in the forms because my emotions got the better of me. I was honest as I could be, nobody filled out the part who knows the child I left it blank and all I had was behaviour reports from school a brief letter and a cahms acceptance letter! So all try not to worry can’t wait to hear some more good news for you all next week! X

Gemmaoscar · 01/03/2024 16:31

@my5to1 fingers crossed it’s so hard them forms were not made to be easy that’s for sure x

my5to1 · 01/03/2024 16:35

@Gemmaoscar they are horrible aren’t they!
i don’t know how any of us managed it all and the wait, but hopefully next week all the rest will hear 🤞🏻

bonz2023 · 01/03/2024 16:50

I'm still clinging onto the nice guy who told me I will know by the 5th.... I believed him 😂

RainsbowandBunnies · 01/03/2024 16:52

Gemmaoscar · 01/03/2024 16:57

bonz2023 · 01/03/2024 16:59

Another week passed and still none the wiser!
17 and half weeks of waiting and it’s taking over my brain! 😩

congratulations to those of you who have heard today x

MrsRawl · 01/03/2024 13:31

Perfect thank you will do , I’d assume by these threads I’m in no hurry, 😂 only 3 weeks in at the moment but glad that gives me the time to get any extra evidence in

Be conscious that it does depend on area as to the process for referral. My DD was referred by the school in June, we had an initial paediatrician appointment in August. We (and the school) then had to fill out forms, which together with the paediatrician report went to a panel in October.

They then officially added her to the waiting list and we got confirmation of this in November. So five months from referral to waiting list! (Though the paediatrician did a report following the appointment, which I included in my application).
