@Jadexxx92 So would I 😅 sometimes they are quick turn overs! 🤞🤞 Thank you, let us know when you have your decoration 🤞🥰 xx

I spoke with Pam this morning. An awful echo on the phone seems they are having issues with their lines today. Pam stated claims are taking 15 weeks to go to c.m's and can then take another 5-7 weeks 🤔. But if i dont hear in 5 weeks to call back as timescale is changing every day. 30/01. Im going to sit like a good little girl spy on you all and if iv not heard 2 weeks before summer holidays il then turn into a psycho 😂 x

I spoke with a lady she said it is with a decision maker but the notes don’t say when it went to DM it’s taking around 29 weeks so I should have a decision by 27/5 I also requested text message when a decision is made

😂😂😂😂😂 I'm praying we here early next month 🙈🙈 I can't wait till summer 🥺 we literally cannot leave the house without a family member 😔 I need a blue badge for him XX

H

20 WEEKS NOT 29

How long did it take for uc just to verify the change in circumstance for your child recieving dla I informed uc last week and they keep saying they waiting for it to be verified x

You can apply for blue badge without dla. You just need to upload supporting evidence x

@Jadexxx92 Fingers crossed by the end of this week you have an outcome. Start calling every morning 😂 x

Have you made the changes on your UC under change of circumstances? X

I saw 29 and my heart sunk 😂. Id go in and help them if it was taking that long lol x

Thank you 🥰 ohh I will be, I'm terrible I just need to know 😅 I have not fort about any of it until week 12 and its all I'm thinking about 😂 I check this thread all day long lol xx

They say it can be with DM upto 2weeks so I definitely wouldn't think you will be waiting much longer at all xx

Yeah I changed the circumstances then asked for it to be back dated and they said I have to wait for the change to be verified that was last Thursday and apparently it’s still not verified yet x

I've already tried, so frustrating!!! Seems like they pick and choose, I'm praying he gets the mobility under smi 😔 I really have a feeling he's going to be declined! Xx

I bloody hope not I’m gunna ring again Monday if I havnt heard anything. The lady yesterday said it was with a DM aswell so now I heard it twice I believe it. I just hope it’s sooner rather than later

I did Coc under smi and vuw. Was declined did MR took 7 weeks they awarded they give it my boy under VUW. My boy has GDD/ASD... wishing you luck 🥰

They can tell you when it went to DM I asked she told me the 10th, give then a ring tomorrow morning so your not waiting in a queue xx

Iv seen a few worries regarding masking. My eldest who is now 17 still masks. School and camhs were very supportive and knew all about masking. With her claims i explained what masking is but i wrote hers as a risk assessment. What masking is, the signs, and outcome. I also sent info on masking. If you havnt ask your childs school, health visitor, dr etc so put you on the course 'parenting autisim' this was a fab course and they done one based just on masking.
We bought her a worry monster. She wrote her upsets popped in the monster mouth and he would eat the worries. Maybe pictures may work for children that cant write?
She is also adhd and we found coffee would help relax her. Please only do if your child is old enough in your eyes. There is no guide on how to parent its speaking with others getting ideas and trial & error. World is hard enough so please dont put yourself down or worry if you are doing right. You have happy children and you are present. They will remember that more 💖

Scan date 03/01 phoned up and didn’t really get told anything other than ‘no update’ 🙄explained my daughters 3 next week and I didn’t fill in the mobility side as I didn’t realise claims take so long so his sent the form for me to apply for that it’ll take 7-10 days to arrive. So over all of this now! such an exhausting process - congratulations on all recent awards though!

Have you rang UC? this helps hurry things along ask for a case manger to get back to you xx

Reading this has made me want to call again.
I told myself I wouldn't call until the 19th April.
I'm same scan date as you!
Ohhhh what do I do x

Just got off the phone with Thomas 28/12 he told me it’s with DM no decision showing yet but should be next 2-3 days
