Thank you so much for all your support through this rough experience, a manager has taken a look at my DD case and has awarded HRC and LRM to be backdated to 04/10! I wish all your outcomes to be what you want and very very soon ❤️

@Taffylass72 Oh my. Thats the best news ever. I am so happy for you both 💝 . Finally abit of weight off your shoulders xx

Does your child have an official diagnosis/autism report?
My daughter masks massively at school too which was mentioned in her report. I’m hoping they will take this into consideration when looking at my award too. It’s a proven fact that a lot of autistic children (especially girls) mask at school and then blow up at home after. This is what was in my daughters full report (if it adds as I’m new to this site haha) x

Yes my son has a diagnosis of ODD, his teacher is well aware of what happens as soon as he leaves the school gates, I've shown her videos etc.
It's been a battle for 6/7 years and I just feel this will be another battle for me 😔 but I can only hope.
We had a cahms appointment last week, they've previously rejected his referral numerous times, but this appointment last week was pointless if I'm honest

Fee89 · 08/04/2024 10:56

@kristie198 Hopefully that should mean not much longer for you x

MamaM1506 · 08/04/2024 10:57

18/12 apparently I'm now 19/12
On hold for an hour, got through to a nice man who had absolutely no idea why he was even working I think.
Another 2 to 3 weeks wait wa his estimate.

Rang this morning as we have a school review panel next week so enquired about sending the additional information with the time frames etc... was told "its near the top of the queue" so to send in any additional info ASAP... Still a few weeks wait.

Any joy with child benefit hopefully they found your forms xx

They still can’t find them. But they told me to re-apply online so I’ve literally just done it and it’s all gone through online this time. Says they will get back to me in 14 days. So basically the last 3 weeks were wasted 😂 how did you get on? Xx

@80smam exactly the same with my autistic DD. The school were absolutely useless & just kept on repeating that she was ‘fine in school.’ She wasn’t even fine there, by year 1 she was having emotional outbursts & becoming more dysregulated. She ended up with burn out & was unable to go back so we’ve had to home ed. Not sure if the DLA team will contact the school in this scenario but I hope they don’t as when they were involved in the EHCP process they basically lied about how amazing they were & blamed us! Totally lost faith in the system now.

He’s in the nursery setting at the moment so they don’t see him for long. The difference over 1/2 term though. So much happier and generally content. Even my parents couldn’t believe the difference with not going to school.

i feel sad sending him knowing the anxiety will come back. Don’t get me wrong still meltdowns over the holiday but just easier to deal with.
