@Mummyto2boys22 I never received any letters I got a text Saturday saying my son qualifies the money went in yesterday then got a letter today saying my claim will be dealt with soon haha
Think the letter was Swamy before the claim was approved think they may be automated they received my forms on 25th June and all sorted x

@Mummy2boys1520 there the same words I had today from them haha its like nearly Friday how thy exspect a decision by Monday is mind blowing there again thy said the dms are working week end

Mummy2boys1520 · 19/08/2021 23:31

@Lhmym I honestly can't see it being done by then. I'm just hoping my boy qualifies for it as we are on a waiting list for autism assessment he starts a new special school in September. I'll just call Monday like they said if I don't hear anything

Mummyto2boys22 · 19/08/2021 23:33

@Alk19 It shouldn’t be too long then if yours were received 25th June I think they just say it’s not been looked at or it’s with a decision maker just as a generic response to fob us off

Mumof2girlys · 20/08/2021 01:10

My 8 weeks is up today (Fri) will call in the morning and update you all can't see it being done x

Lhmym · 20/08/2021 08:20

Lhmym · 20/08/2021 08:22
