Hopefully. I'm going to get me brave up and ring again just don't no when lol. I go on holiday Friday till next Friday so don't want to be ringing while I'm there or really stressing over it. They say don't ring till 20 weeks but I've been reading these threads since number 43 and some waited longer than that and a poor woman waited months and only got low mobility but think hers was a special case so not worried about that one

I called again. SD 03/04. 15+5 today. Was told it’s not with a DM yet and in the holding queue to go to a DM. I was told previously I would hear the decision this week. I know we’re only on Monday but, with the amount of evidence I sent in, I’m very doubtful I’ll hear anything this week or even next week 😞

Shocking isn't it what we have to do for try give our child a normal life. He's been diagnosed with autism and other things he's 6 soon so a referral as been filled in and sent for adhd just all a waiting game isn't it. I've asked how he can go from having support to non and the head said we think he will do well this year without it 😳 it's puzzled me as he's teacher said he needs constant movement brakes he's disruptive impulsive violent etc so how is he going to do well with non of the support he's been getting. I don't understand and with me not having knowledge of who to speak to or what to be asking for it's like I'm one step forward 2 steps back constantly. I'm going to apply for a special school I think. Going to get holiday out the way and see what my options are.
Thank you for listening to me go on and I hope you have a fab time away to x

My sons had his support taking from him aswell in September he as autism and waiting for adhd assessment.. he had a 1on1 a sen plan didn't get ehcp plan as was still waiting to have meeting with senco teacher in school they don't like to rush.. I don't get how they get support one year but not the next.. I hope you get sorted as I won't be letting them pick and choose when my boy is allowed support and when he's not I've rang citizens advice got an appointment with them to discuss what I can do and who I need to contact

Yeah they will backdate it to the date it's stating

@Kayleigh32 How long once you told UC did you get the letter?

@Kayleigh32 How long once you told UC did you get the letter?

I put a complaint in another person on here has put the link on as i put i note in my journal on getting help how to do it all adding on the elements etc nothing no reply nothing so i done the complaint friday within 20mins had a reply saying everything had been added and just got the letter on my journal today, by that letter i werent sure by the way they worded it if they was backpaying it from march or not

Mumabear13 · 22/07/2024 18:04

I don’t see why they keep saying different things?! Surely it’s on their screen in front of them and they can just say how it is. It adds to worry and creates confusion! Very frustrating!

BusyMamma4 · 22/07/2024 18:19

Hey!
does anyone know how long uc take to verify child dla award please?

also anyone recently applied for carers allowance and know how long they take to process awards? When I applied online it stated 6 weeks but I think they could be fibbing 😅

Sorry didnt say how long it was it was over 2 weeks i hadnt heard anything from them thats why i complained an heard back straight away they said they will send it to decision maker and thats what ive got back today that letter not said how much back pay or what they are back paying im guessing its going to be said on my next statement next month now xx

If it's going by 2nd April it looks like HRC & HRM. As £192 a week! but depends if you called up as claim would start then 😊 x
