@bonz2023 @Emma2345
So suspected adhd and add, hypermobility and possible global delay . He hurts himself alot and had no sence of danger what so ever huge list cant put it all , hes only 5 but so behind at school the ep put him at pre nursery with learning amd social skills and he has been referred by the ot to see physio as she thinks he has hypermobility as this hands and fingers go so far back and suffers pain behind his knees , he sees salt as couldnt talk but is alot better now still really behind but people understand him a bit better now umm
So sent sogs report
Salt report been under them 2 years and still with them
Educational psychologist report
Iep from school
Sent the ndd referral form which the school are now doing.
I got my friend to fill in the people who know him bit as he masks at school
And the missing part was the ot report havent got a clue if they got it didnt dare ask after id already got a good award x

Well there goes my theory that physical conditions are reviewed sooner than ASD/ADHD 😂

Glad your wait is over xx

Hi
im at 15 weeks but my son has just been put on new medication
If you send extra evidence in does it push back your claim?
thanks

No. He’ll still hold his place in the queue.

Tiredmummy1235 · 22/02/2024 17:55

@mummyof3girlsx @bonz2023 Hopefully we will get somewhere soon 🤞🤞 I would just be happy not to be in a holding pile at this point 😂😂

Emma2345 · 22/02/2024 18:06

@Sunflower1808 Thankyou for letting me no ,, makes me feel better and hopeful of them awarding me I filled loads in and worded it very well and skwl filled the someone else who knows the child part I’ve sent 2 paediatrician reports he is very delayed too and proof of referral to SCP ( for an autism assessment ) and waiting for speech and language report to send that off too I put about him being physically violent and he doesn’t sleep and attacks his brother and sister biting them and leaving marks school backed all the violence up and even mentioned when tired in school he will struggle to fall asleep which again is good cos he doesn’t sleep at home and he screams and attacks or bites staff and children at nursery to my boy is only 2 tho he isn’t 3 until march which is why I’m a bit worried they may put it all down to age and refuse x

MLW92 · 22/02/2024 18:06

currently along side you all with the dreaded wait, rang 8/11, scanned 12/12, sent a 33 page private diagnosis of autism for my 5 year old, here's hoping, apparently in a queue for a DM, that's probably 100 light years long 😂 here's hoping 🤞

mumtumok · 22/02/2024 18:11

Didn’t realise there was a new thread , parking 31/10

Mazzie1 · 22/02/2024 18:22

@1slamkh thank you for clarifying
I’ve just sent a letter in the post today to update them

Petal45 · 22/02/2024 18:48

Called today and says in holding queue for case manager, does that mean it could be a few more weeks yet. X

Tiredmummy1235 · 22/02/2024 19:02

@Petal45 they have been telling me this for weeks 😂😂

Petal45 · 22/02/2024 19:07

So let's say another month or two yet then lol 😆 😅 😂

Sunflower1808 · 22/02/2024 19:21

@Emma2345 i was so convinced i would get a decline. I think you have a good lot of evidence there 🤞🏼🤞🏼 let me know how you get on ill keep a eye xx i really hope its soon for you xx

Emma2345 · 22/02/2024 19:33

@Sunflower1808 thankyou hun soon as I no al let you no I doubt I will hear till at least end of March begining of April I called for forms 13/11 and scan date was 22/11 x

MLW92 · 22/02/2024 19:46

@Petal45 more then likely because they've told me that & they only scanned mines 10 weeks ago 🤯

Petal45 · 22/02/2024 19:50

I'm totally confused through as she said I was 16 weeks yesterday but my forms didn't get scanned till the 29th so thats 12 weeks yesterday, don't think they actually know anything tbh 🤔 good luck all

Keepgoing88 · 22/02/2024 19:55

Can I just check is scanned date the same as the date you get on the first letter you received?

MLW92 · 22/02/2024 20:08

@Petal45 the letter I got last week said 15 weeks for a decision, but yet when I rang to see if they received and scanned my son diagnosis ( was sent separate like 2 weeks ago or so ) they said 18 weeks, then told me 20 weeks when I rang to update details on Monday just gone 😂

@Keepgoing88 scanned date is the date they receive your application and scan it on to their system 🙂

xxMumofthreexx · 22/02/2024 20:13

Silent watcher here, scan date 8/12.
I called today just to see how long they'd tell me I've got to wait, I got through after an hour and a half wait.. He said I'm looking at 17 weeks in total for a decision.

Petal45 · 22/02/2024 20:15

Just a long waiting game isn't it 😴

Gg1990x · 22/02/2024 20:16

Scan date 02/11 was reading some info on the FB page for DLA ect! My daughter has been issued an EHCP 3 Weeks ago sent of further evidence ect she has traits of ASD/ADHD speech and language have had assessments and has a follow up when she's 4 in May! She has her pre school and peads speech & language ect with her claim ect she definitely got all the needs ect but on FB someone said even tho she has recently had an EHCP in place and they have said she NEEDS a seco school not main stream school I wouldn't get my hopes up for DLA which they can decline! I'm now thinking it may not be accepted due to later dates getting accepted 🥹🥹

GreenDonkey · 22/02/2024 20:25

Scan date 01/11.. 16 weeks this week.
2 letters and 1st and only text Mon 12/02.
Seeing lots of awards either side of my date so hoping next week is my week 😭
