@Brandonnn Congratulations 💝

Can only echo advice from Fee regarding the SENCO at school @MimiRae and go from there once you know what the SENCO said.

Got through with a lovely lady. First time anyone asked for my reference number. "Still with DM and difficult to say when I'd hear"

Finally got through to someone who knows what they’re doing!!

Been awarded high rate care for my Autistic son,
if there are any parents out there thinking if they should apply do!

This going to help massively for his development

Good luck everyone ♥️

Amazing news! 🎉🎉

im going to try and call now. Didn’t get a chance at 9am. But still not in receipt of child benefit so I’m not expecting any change 🙄

Hope you don’t mind me asking, but how long was your award for? Xx

Got my fingers crossed for you it's till next October xx

@kristie198 ahhh amazing newss finally congratulations 🎉Honestly so happy for you the wait is finally over 💐xx

TiredTilly · 09/04/2024 10:04

@MimiRae so sorry to hear 🙁 do an mr and go to tribunal if you have to. You know your child best and in tribunal they are on the side of the parents. Definitely speak to your senco and ask what was said. Also ask her to write a letter of his additional needs and send it in with your mr. Xx

TiredTilly · 09/04/2024 10:05

@Emmajm85 just me and you now 😅 what’s the plan today are you calling?xx

Still waiting with you. I'll ring up Friday I think, yesterday's phone call was absolutely pointless

I feel so deflated! Waiting 18 weeks (nearly half a bloody year) to be told it’s a decline! I run my own business of 12 years that I can barely keep going right now because I’m up all through the night with him and his behaviour is so mentally and physically draining. God I could cry today! I will do a MR though! Maybe tomorrow when I’m feeling better xx

HonestPanda · 09/04/2024 10:24

Do UC backdate from when awarded or does the UC element just start from when you tell them? Scan 06/02 but just want to be prepared x
