Hi the Second thread ended because when it reaches a 1000 comments it will close I thought I would set this up so everyone can talk again

I phoned up today will be 10weeks on Friday, was told that it was in a holding pile with the decision maker. How long could that take?

Jneill2021 · 22/11/2021 16:33

Mummy2boys1520 · 22/11/2021 16:35

@Mummy2boys1520 Thanks for tagging

Jneill2021 · 22/11/2021 18:25

@CloMo1995 no nothing yet I rang today as its 8 weeks tomorrow but no change so thinking maybe next week hopefully might have been looked at I did manage to send in a bit more evidence so I'm just hoping for a good outcome x

CloMo1995 · 22/11/2021 18:35

@Jneill2021 when I rung the time before I found out my sons claim had been successful, the man told me they are trying to keep it as close to 8 weeks as possible so fingers crossed for you🤞🤞xx

Jneill2021 · 22/11/2021 18:52

@CloMo1995 thank you I just hope he gets accepted as would come in so handy for sensory toys plus he likes to bite his clothes so for ever buying him new bits lol xx

DeludedWench · 22/11/2021 19:21

Thank you for the tag!

@LovingLanz5 - it is a bit of a travel to GOSH, but I don't mind as they are brilliant over there. SA is very rare and GOSH is the only place with a specialist x

Imitatingdory · 22/11/2021 21:36

Jneil Have you looked at Family Fund, Caudwell children, variety and Newlife for sensory toys?

Boof23 · 22/11/2021 21:59

@jneill2021 we finally got a decision I rang earlier my little one was awarded hrc nearly 13 weeks since the forms were scanned we finally have a decision so pleased for him 😊

Jneill2021 · 23/11/2021 09:49

@Imitatingdory I did go online to get family fund forms sent out but still haven't recieved them, I will have to check the other ones never heard of them, thank you xx

Jneill2021 · 23/11/2021 09:50

Blabbermouth93 · 23/11/2021 14:05

Jneill2021 · 23/11/2021 14:25

@Blabbermouth93 how long have you been waiting x

Lozca93 · 23/11/2021 16:28

Didn't get dla so I've put in a reconsideration which takes another 8weeks! Explained everything I do during the day and night and what happens during flare ups.

Blabbermouth93 · 23/11/2021 16:53

@Jneill2021 I’ve been 9 weeks 4 days just phoning daily now @Lozca93 did you phone again today to be told or did they send you a letter x

Lozca93 · 23/11/2021 16:57

Phoned today and was told so filled in the form on the phone

Blabbermouth93 · 23/11/2021 17:30

@Lozca93 did you hand in any evidence I’m expecting to have to do a mr as my daughter is still being diagnosed so not much to send apart from consultants letters for eeg and ecg and her speech and language and neuro letter x
