@Taffylass72

really sorry to hear what you’re going through.
They really should make exceptions in certain circumstances.

@MimiRae I’m quite lucky that the school has sent the info back. They’ve had to make some pretty major adjusting the school so I’m hoping that it will be acknowledged y the DM. Can only wait and see. Do you know if your school has sent the info in yet?
i’m starting to think that an award is less likely as time goes on.

It’s honestly taking its toll on me now, DLA are aware of my daughters recent cancer diagnoses but since I told them and sent all the evidence off it feels like we have just been forgotten , praying we will hear this week! She needs so much stuff now with the persistent hospital trips and lengthy stays 🫣x

Sending you all lots of love & strength 🦁 ♥️

I think it’s 3-5 working days, baring in mind Friday and Monday being bank holiday so you could probably get the back pay Wednesday or Thursday

Oh no we have another simpleton the loverly ash so my scan date is the 15/12 and he’s argued black and blue with me on the phone that is been with a decision maker since the day it was scanned in so it looks like I’m no further forward with knowing anything about my son claim again

MLW92 · 02/04/2024 09:09

Been awarded on 30th march! No txt, my son does have a diagnosis of autism & he's 5, he was awarded MRC & LRM to 2030!! Good luck girls, definitely ring up today, I got through right away but with the normal way of 523, my scan date was 12/12, back dated to 8th nov! I really wish you all the luck because it's so nerve wrecking because you just want the best for your child, and also Happy Autism awareness day to all here whose children are autistic 🧩♥️
