Scan date 29/04. 15 weeks tomorrow.

I'm also in the 'self doubt' period of waiting! 😩

I’m also the 29/04 I’m getting nervous too good luck xx

Hey guys , if anyone is on the Facebook groups could you please let us know the dates being awarded today ? It’s really helpful to have a roundabout time frame for those of us who haven’t been able to call up !

im super nervous 🫣 hope I put enough info and evidence. Scan date 17/04 DS 3years old with suspected autism , speech delay and alot of issues that I’d rather not rewrite right now (that application was enough!) and I’m 6months pregnant so it’s been really hard and draining physically, emotionally, financially. I am only 22years old (birthday was 6 days ago) and trying to grow and bring a new child into this world whilst still finding my feet and trying my best to take care of my son with special needs in the most productive way possible is not for the weak

i know everyone here has children with their own difficulties so I also do not want to portray as if me and my son needs more help above all . I hope everyone gets a decision as quickly as possible 🤞🏽❤️

with love x

Yeah, called last week and they had to give a advised wait of 20 weeks as they weren't hitting timescales for 15-17 xx

It’s turning into a long old wait. I was hoping looking at other people’s dates to wake up to some back payment either today or tomorrow 🙈

Ellejkjlljhb · 12/08/2024 09:10

I asked in a thread on FB site but was deleted does anyone know if portage assessments or specialist teacher reports are evidence for iq ?

I've been hoping the same thing.

Scan date 26/04

Mammymummymam · 12/08/2024 09:55

I've been hoping the same thing.

Guessing today isn’t the day. There was one day last week where loads of 08/04 and 09/04 scan dates were awarded and now it’s gone quiet on the Facebook page. Most seemed to get paid 5 days later once awarded so I’m hoping for the best. I don’t dare ring and waste time that I don’t really have with it being the summer holidays 🙈

Firsttimeposter121 · 12/08/2024 10:38

My SD was 11/4, I rang this morning and was told it went to a case manager on Friday and I should have a letter sent out with a decision by the end of the week.

BusyMamma4 · 12/08/2024 10:45

morning everyone!
congratulations to anyone awarded and good luck to everyone still waiting

I have a question what day is Dla paid please? My son was awarded 4 weeks ago but his award letter didn’t say what day it was paid but his award letter said they could pay from the Wednesday (2 days after I phoned for the phones) Google stated it’s usually paid on a Tuesday but I’m thinking Wednesday as that’s when he was awarded from

can anyone help my overthinking brain out is it Tuesday or Wednesday his 4 weeks since award and back payment is this week

Ellejkjlljhb · 12/08/2024 11:02

My award letter says payment will be on a Wednesday, backpay was paid up to the 30th July so I'm just going with next payment will be either 22st or 28th, just wait and see

My award letter just said we will pay you every 4 weeks but didn’t say what day 🤷🏻‍♀️
his back pay was paid until 16/07 so I’m guessing his first payment is due tomorrow as it’s been 4 weeks
