[Matilde08]

🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

9!!🫣😯 he's nearly 6.. and yeah he used to only be himself at home but this last year he's become comfortable everywhere it's a bit of a relief really as he would come home from school and explode but now he's not that bad as he's letting go at school aswell.. but yeah I'm always embarrassed everywhere we go he's fine one min then changes but can vairy on how long he's like that then normal again.. but it's getting more common now so it's not that bad been out and about more people are aware of all disabilities so only the odd few look in disgust xx

So true! Although my eldest is an angel compared to youngest they are both nuts- loud, boisterous! In the garden at 8am I feel so bad for my neighbours 😂

Yeah I have no neighbours I live in a house in an estate but not joined im on me own on a corner lol i do behind me though but they at bottom of me garden.. but I'm past caring they children and are meant to be herd lol I have enough to deal with and if they want to nock and complain they will get a mouthfuls and wish they never lol x

anyone with a scan date around the 27th of February been awarded today?

Couldn’t agree more and now i feel more confident letting them 🥰

@Shezale i think somebody just posted from 26th

Hi,

I have been following for a while. Scan date 22nd feb. Recived a text today to say my little qualifies for DLA, don't know rates yet but any little helps she is only 3.

Good luck to all who are waiting xxx

just seen it im 16 weeks today still nothing after 2 letters not even a text

Nervous now, just missed a call from dwp. Calling now to see what it's about
26/02 new claim and 26/02 for coc

I've not had any text either, called yesterday ours is now with a DM so fingers crossed...

@Shezale same here but im 16 weeks tomorrow

@ArtfulJoker thankyou for this !! agree with you both too ❤️ we’re all in the same boat struggling I have 2 children aged 5 and 3 both severe autistic and signs of ADHD awaiting diagnosis for both my girl masks much more at school then the boy and I struggle so much with their sleep all my gp will prescribe is piriton as it can make you drowsy but that doesn’t work I would love them to prescribe melatona just so I could get even 2-3 hours unbroken sleep but until they’re assessed by cams they won’t ,, I very much doubt anyone in the right mind would force their child to take medication they didn’t actually need Ive even had letters from the school to try and help prescribing something stronger as one has fell asleep in school on occasions due to severe lack of sleep I’m talking months and months of broken sleep they literally have between an hour to 2 hours sleep per night and it’s all broken so it’s not just as easy as getting it coz I can’t for my 2 they’re must be some solid proof of sleep issues for it to be prescribed they don’t just give it out for the sake of it x

Let us know how it goes. Good luck! X

Hey all. Is there a difference between a case manager and a decision maker?

Scan date 27th of Feb.

Called this morning using the 523 way, spoke to a lovely man who said it was assigned to a case manager yesterday and I should hear within a weeks time.

It helps my son, obviously every child is different but there really is no harm in giving it a go. I found either leaving it on constantly helps or putting it on about 1 and half hours before bed time. So lucky the people on here know exactly what the other parent is going through, and I know what you mean I always question what have I done wrong, why does my son hate me, am I not meeting his needs. But look at it from your child’s point of view and I bet they wouldn’t change you for the world just like we wouldn’t change them x

Case manager signs off on dm work. Spot check or new staff member
Or the case Managers pick up cases to get through work load

@CyanFawn also if you have one that is LED the colour red is suppose to increase your natural melatonin and help you sleep. So I have the lavender essential oil and the red light on the humidifier/diffuser xx

@CyanFawn this is the one I have

Does any one have any idea how long it takes uc to add the disabled child and caters element to your statement please

Mine went in within the next time you can see a statement but the back date 🙄 there’s no time scale on that, they told me just whenever it’s ready and to keep an eye on my journal

26/02 new claim awarded hrc yesterday. Payment should clear end of the week. They were calling about the coc and just need to ask a few questions so waiting for that call back but yayyy

Congrats on awards 😊

Sorry if I sound dumb what do you do for coc seen loads of post about this but don't no what it's for lol

Thank you ❤️ that little block of sleep has been a gamechanger for all of us 🎉
