I've just nearly fell off the bed after seeing a new claim from 19th September being decided on Facebook 🙃

Was it a renewal? What page was it on? X

it could for a few reasons. Child is severely blind. The child has less than 12 months to live. Or they were put on the priority list for financial hardship - ive seen this one ruffle some feathers on previous threads but you cant just call and be deemed as priority. You can call and ask, explain the situation and then DLA decide whether to bump you up the queue. It wont be granted for the childs needs costing too much, or things like needing to move house the child lives in. Or it’s none of them and they just got really lucky!

Hi

Just recived a draft ehcp can this be attached and send for dla scan date was 04/07 as the needs are qutxlear in ehcp but mostly around toileting feeding and relationship building and how much education support he needs so Just wonderin if the draft send along with the ehcna file list send my la would be good enough as I didn't really mention all the care needs in depth but did put short pointers as his needs are more then normal bur didn't want to over exaggerate more than they were has anyone got awarded this way.

I think I saw in the comments that they are in Northern Ireland and I believe they have a much shorter wait time than us right now, I could be wrong

Possibly! I didn't actually read the comments. Don't get me wrong I'm over the moon for anyone who's getting seen to quickly, I was just shocked at how out of sync they seem to be doing it all x

I was hoping you saw my comments hun, they didn’t seem to want to say much to me when I called I didn’t even know if was with a decision maker, I would it was after 6pm when they called me, aww thank you I feel so happy it’s been a fight for my boy for the past 7 years to get him any support and now it’s coming all at once, I didn’t even think to apply earlier sending you all my love and positive prayers for a positive answer today xx

I know yeah I agree! There should be a better order but yeah I looked in the comments because I was shocked and I’m sure that what was said which would make sense 😂

Hopefully the form is at the school today for you 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 it won't feel right if I get a decision before you at this point 🤣

SF10 · 07/11/2024 08:27

Finally! Woke up to back pay in my account 🙌 SD 25/06, called Monday to be told a decision still hasn’t been made, to call back on 12th. So they must have made the decision later that day. No text or anything, looks like MRC and LRM for my 8 year old. All I sent as evidence is his ADHD diagnosis report. The huge sigh of relief this morning could probably be heard by our neighbours! Really rooting for everyone still waiting, I hope you guys get the outcome you’re looking for and deserve 🫶

Awwww you’re so kind. I’m so overwhelmed with all the support from this lovely group ☺️. The teacher said she’s more than happy to fill it on once she receives it. That’s unless I’m celebrating little ones 21st when the forms arrive 🤣 x
