Congratulations did you get a text or did you call X

I called as was with decision maker on Friday and a decision was made Friday cx

So happy for you!! X

Thankyou! Hope you hear soon!xx

I called up this morning to be told a decision had been made on the 28th October but he couldn’t tell me what over the phone and to wait 7-10 days for a letter in the post. Scan date 11/08. It’s been 4 working days and I haven’t received anything in the bank so I’m thinking I’ve not been awarded anything :( I’m feeling so sad, I sent 51 pages of documents and medical evidence and a 12 page supporting letter from myself.

Mine was awarded on the 28th and was showing in my bank the next day

Did you highlight important bits of evidence as if you've sent that much chances are they haven't read it all properly 😕

Just called again my claim is with the decision maker, they asked if I had anything else to add and that I would get a decision by the end of the week x

Good luck.xxx

SD- 4th September, I sent ALOT of evidence, over 200 pages of appointments, statements, meetings, observations from the council and from nursery. Along with written letters from his sen lead and his health visitor, all supporting dla. Even included a statement of a witness when I was out with him and had to be helped by the public due to my son having a really bad meltdown. His sen plan is in there, I have wrote my own statement of day to day life and night time care etc, as he is up all through the night, sometimes for hours at a time. I missed 4 calls from DLA a few weeks ago, I rang and asked why, they couldn’t tell me why. So I have been ringing up once a week, to check in and they say they don’t need any further info, why call me 4 times at 8:30am? Guess I just have to wait!

Amazing news, congratulations ♥️

Thankyou❤️

I decided to call up again after the last person I spoke to this morning told me he couldn’t tell me anything.. The new person I spoke to just told me everything! We have been awarded middle care and lower mobility till 2031. He said my back pay will go into my bank tomorrow. Scan date 11/08. 12 weeks wait
I hope everyone else isn’t waiting much longer ❤️
also if you get someone that isn’t very helpful on the phone call up again and try someone else like I did x

Scan date 21/8, i called today for an update, she said a decision hadn't been made yet. I cant take the waiting lol.

Congratulations x

Oooh thank you for sharing this! I will call again on Friday. My SD is 21/08 so almost 11 weeks! Congratulations, btw 🎉 brilliant news!

Hi everyone .. i just received a call from the decision maker and i have a 4 year old. She was asking if i have evidence of my child from the GP or neurodevelopment pathway how my childs ADHD And Autism affects his day to day life. I only have evidence of him on the waiting list for speech and therapy. As hes under 7 , he cant get onto the ADHD assesment easily. What can i do now , where can i get evidence from

Write letter by yourself how his life is affected and ring GP tomorrow morning ask for urgent appointment. Than take this letter with you and ask GP read it and sign it for his DLA. I done it 2 years ago like that and GP was very helpful. Good luck xx

Awh, Thank you so much for you reply xx. Ive got the self written statement and what did you say to the GP because im worried what if the GP wont sign it 🥺

It's alright. I just called to GP and said "I'm currently waiting from DLA for decision for my child and they ask me letter from GP how his needs effecting every day life I need appointment soon as possible to discuss with GP it and get this letter". They made same day appointment and I took my writes to GP and said "look I explained in letter how it's affecting his/her life could you please read it and sign for me because my case is already with DM and they need it asap".

Thank you soo much. Thats really good. I will try that too xx. Did it work for you ?

Two years ago it was,I don't know. But yes, daughter was awarded that time. Now I'm waiting again since 13/08 xx Good luck x and let me know if GP accept x should if it's a good person

Aww thank you so much. Its my first time applying and good luck to you too, i hope your awarded soon xx they are going through august now
