Called today as waiting got the better of me. Still “in the queue” apparently. Scan date 21/5. Hate this waiting!

Liseyhw · 17/09/2024 15:16

Forms received 23 May, have been told another 4 week wait. The waiting is so stressful! 😥

I rang Friday and they said I'm looking at another 3/4 weeks. Not holding my breath but the anxiety is real. Fingers crossed but ready for a MR if not.

Oh fingers crossed, do you know if it's even with a DM yet

Moanalot6 · 17/09/2024 17:44

Well I'm unsure. The lady said "it's not been looked at yet, will be in the next 3/4 weeks". So I dunno if that means the dm has it or not..I'm hoping they do .🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Moanalot6 · 17/09/2024 17:45

Hopefully you get a decision soon.

Hi so while we are waiting for tribunal and for the Paeds to sort out the sleep clinic referral after our doctors sent urgent request and twice left message to chase up for us he has decided to try this for my boy for sleep as he says they can’t give melatonin that has to be through Paeds or sleep clinics but this has a mix of useable reasons and sleep aid is one … so my question to you lovely parents is has any of you tried this on a prescription for little ones before ? Does it work ? And do you think it’s worth adding on my online tribunal evidence? I know they send anything I add to Dla but I’m not sure if this stuff will count in their eyes as medication as it’s not melatonin.. they want him to try 10mg for two weeks and see how we go and make sure he don’t have reactions , he is 2.7 years

Hi, I tried this with my son. Was recommended to try by psychiatrist at CAMHS before we tried melatonin. It didn’t work for my son and neither did melatonin. He was quite a lot older than your son when we tried. My GP also prescribed it for me when I was a child as well for sleep.

coc 09/05

been with decision maker since yesterday

MelTom88 · 18/09/2024 09:41

Called again today to see if any progress. MR was accepted 12/06.
Letter from consultant stating unable to walk due to significant mental impairment.
Called on 2/9 to be told it is with decision maker.
Called again to say it is still with DM and no decision has been made. Feeling as though either the Decision Maker resigned and forgot to tell DWP, or it's been put in the shred it box and forgotten about.

Called a few mins ago for a update, apparently it's not with a DM 🙄 but she did say apparently there's a note to say call me when it is with a DM, so we'll see

I caved in and called just now, apparently it has not been allocated to a case worker yet, he told me again its taking up to 25 weeks again, I don't need to call again, they will send a letter 🙄 One of his questions was when did I last call and what for, haha think they getting sick if me 🤣

Dunwaiting · 18/09/2024 10:32

15/05 still not heard anything times ticking by not giving me much hope for a positive outcome 😔

I'm going to call again on Friday. I hate it when they say don't call again, if we were told a bit more and not told different things every time we called we wouldn't keep calling. 19 weeks Friday x

Hesxboon · 18/09/2024 11:00

@Dunwaiting same scan date as me, I feel the same not heard anything. Rang yesterday told still in Que when last week they told me it was with a dm. Not holding out much hope now as I’ve seen others either before or just after getting decisions now

Dunwaiting · 18/09/2024 11:06

@Hesxboon I’m the same keep seeing all the positive posts around the same date and after 🫣I have not called as too scared too 🤣 I keep waiting for the postman to bring the decline letter.

That’s great!!! Put it on your journal but ask for it to be backdated as they won’t automatically do it. It takes a few weeks but give them a nudge x
