DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 47

[Matilde08]

💐💐💐🫶🏻

I hope so lol xx

I doubt it 😭 but even if we did get a text we still won’t know the decision until Monday. Ahhh we have to try and forget for the weekend- been with DM since 21/06 what’s going on

I no hun. Its so hard to just forget about it because theres so much riding on it. They must be understaffed surely because these wait times are really awful xx

@Shazzle88 there’s just such a difference for me between MRC & HRC (my son is 3 so won’t get mobility) really hoping my DM is fair and gives him what he deserves (and same for you🤞🏼) my eldest got rewarded LRC no mobility (8 with AdHD) and I think that’s fair for him so really hoping they make the right decisions for us all. Have a good weekend, let me know if you hear 🥰

I totally agree hun. What did you send for evidence if you dont mind me asking xx

For 8 year old AdHd- was referal forms completed by school (quite detailed) his ISP from school
for 3 year old ASD (one I’m waiting for) was x2 Speech and language reports (he’s non verbal)
Referral forms for OT, paediatrician, and dietary people (?) and written updates from myself- he’s been referred to LEAP and his nursery completed the people who know bit.
i don’t think I went into enough detail of his lack of sleep at night and how bad his meltdowns can be but I can’t do anymore now. It’s so hard without a formal diagnosis as at the moment just feels like words I’ve written if you know what I mean
what did you send hun? Xx

I no what you mean hun my daughter isnt diagnosed yet, youve send so much tho,i think you will get what you deserve. im really starting to worry about my forms now. Ive sent 2 x pediatrician reports, a support letter from health visitor and gp and an inconclusive autism assessment report, melatonin prescription and lots of extra pages that i have written xx

@Shazzle88 you’ve sent loads too so really hope you get what you should. I think we’ve had soo much time to think about what we’ve sent no wonder we’re doubting it all!

Really hope everyone can enjoy their weekends. I think the trouble is when you've just sent your form and you know it's months away you can just kind of forget about it. When it looks like our decisions should be any time now it totally consumes you. I'm so worried she won't get awarded, even though she definitely fits criteria for potentially HRC but definitely MRC.
We've got a busy weekend so I'm hoping it'll be enough of a distraction to not think about it too much!

@Abbieh1234 I'm currently awaiting MR after originally applying in October and have been told it's 15 weeks. Originally I was told I'd hear back within 9 weeks, then I had a text to say 4 weeks, then a letter to say 15. I'm about 12 weeks into the wait so it's definitely looking like 15. Hopefully not any longer!

Hi all, finally been awarded scan date 7/3 got award text just now

Congratulations on award hun x so they do work weekends then was wondering if they did or not x

What was your scan date ?

Congratulations

mines the 15/3 so hope not much longer know I don’t know what’s worse the long wait or being closer to decision being made 😂 feeling nervous lol x

Sorry hun thanks u put your scan date on it still half asleep a think lol x

Congratulations hun so they do work weekends then, god im nervous now xx

Thank you everyone, I was starting to second guess myself and didn't think if I had done enough. I waited exactly 16 weeks and 1 day and its a new claim. So shocked to get the award text this morning dont know the rates or anything yet and no money just award text this morning so far. Good luck to everyone else on the claims so thank ful to have had this group while waiting

They told me Friday dinner they are doing overtime this weekend

Thats good hopefully they look at mine and put me out of my misery xx

What evidence did u send hun xx

I sent his autism diagnosis report, his speech and language therapy report, his individual education plan report and his senco wrote on the form the part about who knows the child. I struggled with the form i am terrible with them so didn't think I had wrote enough down as I just filled the questions and sent in all his reports in that he has from difrrent professionals he sees.

Yeah I rang as they said I would have a decision by close yday but they didn't and she said not to worry they are working over the weekend to catch up should hear something by Monday so I don't know just have wait it out I guess

This gives me hope I sent 2 speech and language reports the referal forms for Autism from both parent and school sendco filled in the someone who knows the child part and her individual education plan and also the school noted down referal for adhd will be made when she turns 6 too I wrote loads in my form as well so I am hoping we get an award x

@Shazzle88 what do you mean by inconclusive report for autism x won't this go against your claim hun x
