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.

Thank you we will have to keep each other updated, stalking Dla Facebook pages too it’s become an obsession especially when you see so many after ours being dealt with!

Scan date 24/06 and I’ve not heard anything yet😣 sitting on pins

Absolutely amazing hun! I’m buzzing for you! I just called and it’s with a decision maker so fingers crossed not too long. Xx

Hi

Been hanging around scan date 18th June woke to a lump sum in bank this morning so looks like he's been accepted 19 week wait new claim.
I had £2607.75 so I think I've work out that it's high rate care low rate mobility?

This has been a long wait for us got the form in April and have an amazing family support worker at the school who was the one who said to claim ( he also filled the form in with me and sent all the evidence we had on him) I always felt I wasn't caring for my son as i just get on with life ( I now clearly see I actually am caring for him I'm the one who has to make sure he's safe, make sure he doesn't run off, constantly struggling to get him to wash brush teeth use the toilet and he sleep walks a lot which he has managed to get downstairs so I dont sleep well as worry for his safety)hes 10 suspected autistic, school says he shows PDA traits. He doesn't hardly attend school he really struggles and shuts down often with lots of upset meltdowns, he's so behind his peers working at year 2 level even though he's in his last year of school. All of his life I was told hes fine it's normal it's a stage etc then this amazing family support officer started at the school and he believed me he saw first hand what my son was like in the home as well as at school and was the one to encourage me to get him on the list for a autism diagnosis so thankful he's with me every step of the way. My fight is still on for a ehcp plan, fight for him to get this diagnosis and the fight to seek a specialist secondary school that can deal with my son's complex needs.
Next step sorting universal credit as heard can get another element on that which is another one to get my head round as new to that benefit to

All the best to you all that you get what our children need

Same scan date has me and I received a text today at 14.30 to say ds qualifies.

My forms originally went in in July 23. But I came home 4 weeks ago saying we had our tribunal via videolink for today.
It went great thank you! HRC and LRM. This was from a no award. They said as soon as she has her official diagnosis to contact dwp and she will probably be able to get HRM.

I am absolutely made up for you! Glad you got the outcome you wanted in the end, just a shame they took this long. Thank you for updating us xx

Called up today at 4.30. First time I've spoken to anyone, altho not for the want of trying!! Finally managed to change my number, really nice lady but was told the same as the others. Nothing doing on it, I should hear by 19th November at 20 weeks. SD 2/7 x

They really ought to amend the letter they send out acknowledging your claim and stating 15 weeks!

Hi been watching this page for long, just had a text off dwp saying my child qualifies does that mean it's a yes or no xx

Tried to ring them but closed 🥲

That's a yes!

Thank you to you for your support! I hope all works out for you aswell

I hope so gonna ring them in morning will let everyone know my sd was the 14/6 new claim x

same date as me, not a peep! Haven't sleep good for a while 😭

It means a yes

I hope so fingers crossed xx

I rang up today to say my daughter had moved school still on part time and then had this text, feel happy but not lol cuz I don't know xx

Just done some digging online and this is the refusal text. So if yours says qualifies then I would say your child's definitely been awarded. Congratulations 🎉

What was your scan date please

Hi just had my child’s COC awarded from middle to high care, does anyone know if i do an MR for mobility side they will consider any new evidence I send in over the next few months when they are re-looking at it, or is it just they review the evidence that was originally sent? I just ask as I have heard with tribunal they don’t consider new evidence and my child’s official ASD diagnosis should be through in next few weeks, think this would help for SMI criteria. Or would I need to wait for the diagnosis and then do a COC again?Thanks

Hi
my scan date is 27/8
anyone same as me x

This doesn't mean a refusal. I've seen people receive this and be awarded. Although obviously if anyone receives this it could be either, with the other text at least you know it's an award.

SD 8/7. My daughter was awarded at 16 weeks back at the beginning of July, so going through the wait again is horrible (I couldn't face doing both their forms at the same time). From what I've seen on Facebook people seem to be getting awarded between 18 and 20 weeks with some random dates thrown in. I was constantly phoning for updates with my daughter 🙈 but am trying to wait more patiently this time around.

Im dreading it i hope they dont say no but theres always that chance 😣
