[zoeybrooks45]

Hello everybody, I have made a new thread please put in your scan date, hopefully we hear some good news this month 💐

we currently in the early weeks of June for decision, please be kind and feel free to share scan date, entitlement award and what child is diagnosed with as others in similar position can feel uplifted in these stressful time.

wait time are currently between 20-25 weeks. However most likely is between 18-22 weeks.

Congratulations everyone xx

sd 12/07 got a decision today and my 2 year old got HRC! I’m sobbing my heart out xx

Aww bless you. I know you’ve been so stressed. This is great news. May I ask your child’s needs? Mine is 4 and worried that it’s going to go against us x

She’s on the autism pathway, has global development delay, doesn’t sleep and is being assessed for dyspraxia. If it helps I had no evidence at all! Praying you get a decision soon! 🩷

Wow, that's early for a July decision! I'm so happy for you and your little one!

I was told the other day it was with a decision maker, so I rang this morn to see if I had a decision and he said it wasn’t with a decision maker but he marked it as urgent and sent them a message to make a decision today and they actually did! It’s so frustrating when you get told different things every time you ring! X

Ps thank you! 😂🩷

I'm so happy for you! 🩷 pray for me now, same date but I'm sure I'll be waiting the full 20 weeks

Hi Nikki,
The same with myself and my son.
Sent the forms off on 07/06.
I received a letter after a month that said they received the forms on 19/06 and it'll take 15 weeks.
I received another letter on 06/08 saying sorry it's taking a while, but that the waiting time is 15 weeks.
I called last Monday and they said wait until the 20 week mark, which is 06/11, and if I don't hear anything, as that is the real waiting time for a decision to be made.

As of now I'm on 18 weeks + 2 days, hopefully hear something soon.
Good luck!

I absolutely will! Tag me when you get your decision if you remember so I see it! 🩷

I am sure you will get decision soon I only know because I forgot to put England or Scotland on there so they rang me or I still would be driving myself insane

You may already have a decision you won’t know unless you ring or receive back payment which can take 3-5 days so I wouldn’t of known today about mine if I filled form correctly lol as you are same date as me

I'm SD 19/6 and rang today to give them the ehcp Information they asked for, anyway they told me it was "in progress" what ever that means and I will have a decision in the next 2 weeks. 🙄

Just called again, no decision has been made as of yet, he said (again) that it may take up until 06/11 before a decision is made.
I asked if it was with a DM but he said he can't see that.
Said I'll get an update by text once a decision has been made.

The wait is killing me.

SD 20/06
just called because I saw there was an award in July and the person said they cannot see if it is with a decision maker it just shows open as it permenantly is once scanned in. They are never informed or able to tell if it is with a decision maker. All cases are different and those being awarded in July may be more straightforward

Same as me then 😫

Hi
It's soul destroying isn't it all this waiting?! I received the same as you. I haven't called them up once I just figured they would write to me once they looked at it. I was dealing with my mum pensions credit for her as I'm her carer too and when I was calling them up for updates they bit my head off each time so I won't call up govts anymore lol

I hope you hear soon 🤞 you should hear before me so I'll keep checking in.
Good luck to you too lovely!

Same date as me!! 24/6 letter said 15 weeks but on phone (I've called 3 times🤦‍♀️) they say wait the 20 weeks and said they are working close to that so who knows
Good luck everyone

SD 19/06
rang at 4.30 as I’ve seen people awarded after this date!
she wasn’t very helpful and said I hadn’t reached the 20 week mark yet so ring back once I do 🙄

New post
scan date 27/08

Oh that's a relief hearing that they are close! I've almost gone completely grey waiting 😭
Do you know if they send a letter with the decision or do they call or text? Have seen people say different things.
Good luck to you too🍀

It's been lovely seeing the positive posts today!

I actually had do pluck a grey eyebrow out this afternoon 🤣. I blame this whole process fully! 🤣

I'm not sure how they'll contact I think I'll ring again on the 31st as I have seen a few people getting results about that sort of time after the scan date and I can ask them how they'll contact as waiting for a letter will probably take a few more weeks 😶

Oh no haha it's most definitely because of this whole process! I'll be needing to go Zimmer frame shopping before long it's been 75 years 😂 well it feels like it anyway haha

@Isntitmenttobeeasier oh good coz I'm too afraid to call up haha can you post what they say please? It confused me when I saw people with July scan dates receiving their decisions, I wonder how they work it.

Yes I definitely will! I sit on here most nights looking to see if anyone's updated some dates 🤣
