Set new one up as old thread ended @April202 @Nicky80catri @Leaf1216 can't remember any other names

@SickKid april 13th xx

Haven't posted in a little while, scan date 12th April, rang up on Tuesday, not for an update regarding my case but to double check they received the extra info I sent it.

Bloke on the phone was absolutely great would you believe! Even decided to take it upon himself to see where they were at with claims and if i had a decision yet (wasn't was I had rang up for), anyways he told me that next week they would be working on claims up until the 11th of April, but some slip through the cracks and get a response sooner so fingers crossed I hear something soon🤞

@Mamto2boys ooo that would be good if so as I'm April 12th too, good luck 🤞🏼😊

They seem to tell everyone different weeks don't they. It's very confusing

@Twinmummyanda7yearold good luck also, think there's a few of us with the same scan date here, suppose we will have to keep eachother updated!

Mines 4 April was told Tuesday it with dm I'm ringing Monday see if it actually been decided sent in lots of letters and if they habe get intouch anyone I think I'll be going crazy but I now have his referral form of school what they filled in wished had that when I applied but have it incase of M R . Hard week of senco find out form went missing good job I rang I rang up cahms else I'd been none aware been hardest fight this week and feel so drained amongst meltdowns and now fighting for referral for my daughter too but they think she fine I beg to differ but I'm prepared to fight the fight take greatest satisfaction to say to senco I told u so .fight fight for our kids she one scale as lad full on scale

Keep going all hopefully we all receive news of dla that they see and can help suport our child's needs 👍

I also herd someone applied dla cos there child's on meletoin and suspects adhd and they got awarded she not being supported by senco mine adhd traits on meletoin spd corlordination problems behaviour issues looks like he got add odd ocd forgets alot awaiting speach language dyspraxia it looks like too ive actualy copied report and sent it his peadtrican to so hopefully i get see her not phone calls with him only seen him once she looked then said yes he needs suport as autism one was in lockdown dodnt diagnose but picked up other bits as school said he below where should be in curriculum only geography drama he seems to be OK with they have said struggles more than his peers to reading what teachers put in his referral was omg she actually seeing things we deal with at home pitty he don't jump around have full on meltdowns in class he do seem contain it all till home time

Had my letter today what your entitled to from 11.02.2022 to 11.05.2027 does this mean it has been awarded for 5 years 3 months? Confused

Yes, that's right, @Indr.

@NoWordForFluffy thank you thought it would be 5 years not with extra months so wanted to check

Has anybody ever sent extra evidence after their initial claim?

@Ilovechocolatetoomuch yes I did, I sent in extra evidence around 7 weeks after I sent back my claim, rhey have received it and all is good.

What did you send with the evidence?

I did our first time around

I sent some recently. I did a covering letter with DS' name, DoB and their ref, and also put those details on the evidence.

@Ilovechocolatetoomuch, I sent in a cover letter explaining why I was sending in extra evidence and explanations of said evidence. On each piece of paper I sent in, I wrote my child's name & DOB, reference number, and my NI number just incase.

I sent it 1st class signed but I rang a little over a week later just to be sure they had put it with my file as I received a letter in the meantime saying "sorry it had been 8 weeks with no decision" and i was worried it hadn't been added with the rest aha, the bloke had confirmed all is good and that it had been added to my file so there was no problems there.

Thank you, I shall do that 🙂

Good luck to everyone this week hopefully first week in April claims will be looked at. I definitely think mine will be a no but I will try a MR.

I've seen awards up to about 7/8 April this weekend, so fingers crossed next week is the week for the 12 April gang!

Have you? I've seen a few have had texts this weekend upto 4th April. Hoping I'll have heard something by the end of the week!

Yes, but comments on other people's posts, not main posts. I find that page doesn't show me the posts in order, annoyingly.

I really do think they need a better system to stop people queue-jumping though (it's not their fault, but clearly there are glitches sometimes).

@NoWordForFluffy 100% agree! It looks like some people are still waiting from March- must be so frustrating for them seeing people get awarded from the following month! Can see me being one of them (left behind that is) 😡

I’ve been following this thread for weeks it’s kept me sane :) finally got awarded for coc scan date 15th of feb. I’m not sure of the award yet but I think it’s from low to middle rate care as I sent it my boys autism diagnosis. We already had low mobility. I hope this helps someone else and good luck everyone!

@SickKid @NoWordForFluffy yeah I agree! I'm still waiting for a decision from a DM and my claim for my daughter was scanned on 23rd March! Even when I rang last week he said decision maker had our claim from 13th June, so a week today and hopefully an answer by end of this week!! Then I have to send in her birth certificate (before any payment is made I assume too) so I'm looking at another 3-4 weeks before I get any kind of financial help from them 🥺

@SickKid what was your scan date?
