@Crazyhouse4 yes we spoke recently on my thread I believe, fingers crossed we get our forms scanned next week

I will be calling and checking again next friday, they should have been scanned by then 😂 and it gives me a reason to check my eldest daughter’s forms at the same time

I have just had a payment go into my account of £1266.75. Can anyone please help me work out rates? Thank you.

Congratulations 👏🏻

I’m 25/1 and called yesterday just before closing, it’s been with a DM since Monday, we were awarded MRC till 2026 for my son who is 3 in July, he is diagnosed ASD and has seizures. I do believe we are qualified for HRC but since it’s only 18months till renewal forms I just don’t have the energy to fight! Good luck everyone else waiting, this last week has drove me nuts with anxiety waiting.

Congratulations 👏🏻 still fight till you get what you child Deserve 💪🏻

Pleased you jumped in! Nice to have someone else who's kind of been left in limbo with it all! I'm hoping when he gets to see the genetic team in Sheffield they might be able to tell me a bit more.
We already have the autism traits & his temper/anger is off the scale. His mood can change on a sixpence so it's a constant high alert. Luckily he has amazing teachers at his preschool & so far they have been able to keep his temper in check by distracting him with different things but I'm dreading September when he goes to infant & it all changes
Have you seen anyone from a genetic team? Did they allow you DLA even though we have no understanding of what our babies have? X

Yeah it's hard not knowing everything about it, we got a leaflet on it and what children with it can have, we did see a genetics team and they signed her off but we can go back if she gets worse, because she's not severe with it they didn't need to see her anymore, she just told us they used to test the parents to see if it came from a parent or not but they don't do that anymore she couldn't really tell us anything definite as they're still learning about it themselves constantly so it didn't really help tbh, but this could be different for you of course! My daughters temper is through the roof and she's on a wait list to be seen by the asd team, luckily we have had an amazing team around her and her nursery ate amazing and know what to do to keep her from having meltdowns etc, I'm dreading when she starts reception but she has another year in her nursery yet and the paediatrician she sees has sent them a letter through to make a plan on what they can do to support her. I've applied for DLA and on my 14th week of waiting so haven't heard anything yet but I did send a copy of the letter with diagnosis of her genetic condition in with some other stuff. It's so hard though to get other people to understand it when we barely understand it ourselves 😬

Congratulations to all who have been awarded 💐🎉🥳💖 and good luck to everyone who's still patiently waiting or sorting out MR. For me as usual...nothing. So I'm sure I will step into week 26 next week. But I have started to put together the complaint letter with all the dates, calls etc. So, ready to sort this out next week.

@Matilde08 oh my angel I am so sorry they are putting you through this! Absolutely aches my heart that you're having to wait this long 😭
We are all here for you! We should start a 'SORT IT OUT' protest for you!
I can honestly understand the frustration although I didn't wait as long as you, I can feel your upset and frustration through your post and again I am so sorry!
my prayers are with you daily ❤️

Thank you so much for this moral support ❤️ I have decided to put down complaint as after being so patient and understanding, I don't feel it's fair how my little boys claim have been treated.

Thank you so much... I really hope you're right 😊🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I have always tried to stay positive and take life like a lesson sometimes for example: what exactly this waiting teaches me 🤔 gianormous patience or how to turn into pessimist? 🤭

You definitely have been so patience and we all hope the best comes out of it🙏🏻

Hope your next holiday won't be a mini one but a Extra special one with the families Xx

Hi all. Has anyone been successfully awarded without anyone filling out the ‘person who knows the child’ part? Daughter, 12. ASD traits-runs in the family. Waiting for assessment. Mainstream school but not supportive. So didn’t want their non existent input and not any evidence except a letter saying she will be put forward to the next stage of an ASD assessment. I feel I wrote it out very good, explaining her but no evidence or input from anyone, I’m not feeling too hopeful she will get awarded.
