Thankyou so much I was in shock because I didn’t have much evidence and he only got diagnosed last week I would have been grateful for middle rate so feel very lucky today hoping for good news for the rest of you all xx

@Smartish it’s frustrating isn’t it. I hope you hear something back from them soon

i think everyone gets abit paranoid:( it hits a certain week wait and suddenly you're worrying about everything and in your case it's completely understandable! I hope everyone waiting especially this long,hears something soon x

17 weeks today from scan date, got sent forms in October posted back November scanned in March and dependant on who I speak to depends on whether they think they'll backdate it until October. Regardless of that, scan date 21st March, told to call back in 3 weeks time if no money...

I've sent in a sleep clinic referral, sleep diary, had a professional comment on my girl being difficult at night and her trying to introduce PECS / communication card strict night time routines etc. (She is under diagnosis for suspected ASD and GDD and is non verbal so she has no understanding of night and day and communicating this is impossible as she doesn't respond to PECS. Hence the melatonin push, but her nursery are starting to introduce makaton in Sept) We are pushing for melatonin but I believe where my girl is only 2 and a half we will only receive MRC. I heard HRC is very difficult for a child under 4 so maybe that's why? xx

I got HRC for my little boy he's 2 and half, as long as you detail and got evidence for night time care you should be OK to receive it, I'm currently trying to get HRM under SMI rule as he turns 3 next month

HangryLimeBeaker · 18/07/2024 19:15

@Mommy2boys30 Oh that's really interesting. I wonder if it will be the same for us, altogether we have sent in a referral to CDC. A referral to sleep clinic, audiology report, paediatrician appointment letters. Acceptance to CDC. (The referrals are extremely detailed), sleep diary. Hoping it's enough! But not aiming for HRC as I know it's really dependent on dm at this age. Congratulations though! x

Yea I was 15 weeks on Tuesday hoping if he gets awarded it'll be through the holidays so I can tale them to a few nice places. We are really lucky tho the adhd support group we go to has a few activities planned so at least they will get a few days out where I can relax because all the other kids are like them

Just called dla to ask for reasons of mobility decision and first time I got through to wrong department so the lady told me what department I needed I called back for the rudest person ever to answer the phone with (hi yes we recognise your number you have been ringing us loads what is it you need) to which I said I haven’t called loads I rang once which I got through to the wrong department then I called back and got cut off while waiting as my network keeps saying no sim so called them back just for him to tell me I can find all the reasons to my sons decision on the website to which I said thanks and hung up🥴 it’s made me never want to ring again

Some of them are so shitty aren't they. It's very hit and miss depending on who you talk to, sorry they were so rude to you!

Should be on the first letter you receive from them after sending the forms in it will be the date they scan it into there system, if not maybe give them a call and they will be able to tell you x
