@GemzZ92 @Brittany95 Thankyou girlies, it's crazy how different all the dates are and I really feel for mummas that are still waiting also. Hopefully we hear something soon🤞🏻

No problem hun ☺️ ive tried to keep of fb past few days as although im super happy for eveyone who gets awarded as it will help them and their child/children soo much , it can make you feel more anxious or stressed seeing people after you be awarded. My Fingers are crossed for all of us who are still waiting 🤞🏻 congratulations to everyone who has been awarded and good luck to those who are still waiting 🤞🏻🥰

Money gone in bank today 🥳
Would’ve been 18 weeks tomorrow, scan date 28/3 I was expecting to be rejected, I can’t believe I did it 🙌
No text/phone call/letter yet.
I think it’s LRC but I did play down her difficulties and meltdowns a lot as I didn’t realise what behaviours meltdowns cover and shes also had some massive meltdowns since Dad left the home 13 weeks ago 😢
Takes a bit of pressure off as I’m dropping my hours at work in order to do some volunteer work at a school so I can do a TA course 😊 I will show HIM 🤣
I think its very validating that the DWP believe me (with evidence) but her own father doesn’t 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi all, haven't posted since last Friday when I was told it was due to be passed to someone over last weekend. This morning awoke to back pay which appears to be HRC, he's 2, my scan date made me 17 plus 6 (I think, felt like 22 weeks lol) when it was received. Must have been awarded on Friday to come in this morning so hold out hope, even when you're told not yet that day!
Thanks for all your support on here, the posts have helped hugely in a really stressful wait time. Can't believe his nursery will get extra help such a relief!
Scan date was 28/03, called for forms on 19/03. Only evidence was copies of forms health visitor gave me to assess his development (there were three I think) and a statement from his auntie who is a nurse about his needs when she's had him to help me. I also wrote a sleep diary. I described his needs as fully as I could, I hope that helps some of you. I know it's hard writing the forms out, made me cry when I did mine. Thanks to everyone and anyone who has been awarded recently since I last posted congratulations, my internet is terrible so can't read back properly! xx

Any mandatory reconsiderations on here with any news ? Just feel like my weeks are dragging now . Week 13 after mr but original coc date was 15 feb . X

I'm coming up to week 12. My original scan date was 8/1.
The last 11 weeks have gone so fast and I've hardly thought about it but now it's on my mind all the time again

So I caved and rang for rates 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hrc, lrm until 2027, day before my sons 17th birthday 😭😭 wasn't expecting these rates at all and I'm overwhelmed that these past 5 years of fighting and getting what's right for my boy, from diagnoses to referrals to medications and therapies has been recognised and its going to make a huge difference to his life now. Not sure when back pay due as I didn't ask but as soon as it is I can start on the sensory corner for his bedroom and I can't wait to be able to give him somewhere to hopefully regulate and relax.

Fingers crossed you all hear soon 🙏🏻

Mumabear13 · 31/07/2024 11:49

Scan date 03/04 pending 1716.60 in my account to go in tomorrow. Thankfully the wait is over but it’s not as much as I was expecting. My son should be on HRC and HRM. Another wait coming up with a MR. I’m on the phone to DLA now to find out exact rates x

Mumof4K · 31/07/2024 11:56

Hi! I'm 28/3 too and haven't heard anything. Other than the two standard letters to say they had received it and the 15 weeks wait one. I too tried to call at 9:10am this morning but gave up. Hopefully you too will hear something soon x

😂 I was trying to reply back to you on another post, but it wouldn’t let me! I feel like we’re the last 2 and it’s so frustrating x

LiterallyMe · 31/07/2024 15:37

My scan date was 28/03. I noticed the money went in Monday, and today I received the letter to say we were awarded Mrc and Lrm. I’m so happy as I applied a couple of years ago and we were denied, I never had the fight in me to fight the decision as suffer bad anxiety myself, so pleased my daughter is finally receiving what she deserves. This just proves don’t give up!

Brittany95 · 31/07/2024 17:19

Ah thank you! I don’t know what to think now, I am going to try and call them again tomorrow morning, so at least we know something. X

HangryLimeBeaker · 31/07/2024 18:43

@Jt234 try not to be disheartened. maybe your dm has been off sick or had to deal with an application that has information missing and it's held up the queue - you'll get the answers soon! i know it must be disheartening waiting x
