[HangryLimeBeaker]

Last thread was getting full up. Drop your scan dates here!

I’m 12 days after you, New claim.

Please keep the thread updated if you hear anything.
What dates have you seen be awarded from June?
I’m not holding my breath to hear anything before at least November 🙈

Same here, was originally told 15 weeks, now 25. Just sent back recently so I'm I'm for the long haul x

I just called, apparently we've now been assigned to someone..so yay if thats true, we've moved forward a wee bit 🤣
The options have changed now and it says press if you have been waiting for over 25weeks! I asked if they are now expected to take longer and he said there is a possibility now new claims and MR can be over 25weeks 😖

Oh wow, call again Monday!! I'm praying for good news for you! X

Renewal received 18/06, text today to confirm DLA awarded. They lost first form back in Feb, been without DLA since April. Chuffed for my daughter to be awarded again, specialist shoes cost loads! (Have been watching the threads) best of luck to you all x

I think maybe report it x

Well done! And congrats on keeping going even when they lost your form xx

Positive post

That’s fantastic news. So pleased for you x

Oh bless you. I can’t believe how stressful this is. I think it’s because the wait is so damn long! X

Thank you 😊 I will let you know the outcome, I have everything crossed 🤞

Yes please do. I've kept this page open on my phone to keep a look out for yours!

Waited 19 weeks, son under physiotherapy team and consultant for hyper mobility and knee dislocation, has multiple dislocations a week, have referral letters, exercise regimes, appointment letters, MRI appointment with possibility of surgery and we were declined. Awful reasons for decline- he can find his way around and is safe on the road, he can put his own knee brace on and he does not get injured. NOT INJURED. I’m gobsmacked

Any tips for MR guys? I’ve been trying to research it and the statistics are not the greatest to win appeal. Feel like I’m fighting a losing battle and haven’t got much fight left in me either. I’m in disbelief, sent numerous appointment letters proving the input from consultant and physio, sent sleep diary, input in school and was shot down.

Mines for change of circumstances, not a new claim. My son has been awarded for a number of years already. Although, just to give you some hope, my son was 1st refused on new claims when we very first applied. He was not diagnosed at the time but I sent in all proof of his medical needs at that time. We were completely rejected. I sent in a letter and asked for a mandatory reconsideration, and was then awarded high rate care and low mobility. We didn't have to go to tribunal. Was such a relief. Hang on in there, if you believe your child has more needs of an average child of the same age, then keep fighting. Yes it's depressing and heartbreaking having to fight for your child's need and to be believed, the paperwork makes you look at the worst you're child does, not the best and it really does hurt your heart but keep going! The fight for support is worth it and it opens more doors for them.. Good luck 👍

Hey everyone! Long time follower but first time I am posting. My scan date isn’t until 03/07 but I have just received this letter from the school. They are sending it themselves but I just wanted to ask if you feel this is a good piece of evidence please. Thank you!

Hi all just wondering what people think if this is a good supporting letter from school please

Letter

Yeah definitely send it over

I would say so for sure

Thank you!

Thank you

Monday is here again people! Hoping this week if full of decisions being made in the favour of our young ones. I'm not ringing this week. But will be next week. Fingers crossed for all.
