congratulations 🥰!! So pleased for you!xx

@Bippityboppityboowho@Bippityboppityboowho@Bippityboppityboowho seems like there's loads of us with the same date. Really hope we all hear ASAP (don't know why its tagged you 3 times 🙈 and won't let me clear it lol)

I sent mine signed for, tracked etc. sent on 11/09, they received it 12/09, scanned into system same day and I received letter 18/09 x

Awesome! Really really pleased for you 😁.

Congratulations !! What is your scan date please ?? Was it new claim??

Aww yay congrats wasn’t the decision maker on holiday Friday too 😂 they do like to confuse us xx

I got through to someone else, My renewal is up March and they have done that aswell and my coc and said there still keeping it at MRC for another 2 years, even with all the evidence with her night time needs they still kept it the same, wasn’t the outcome I was hoping for but still grateful for MRC! Good luck to everyone waiting for a decision and congratulations to everyone awarded 🥰!

What was your sd hun x

26th June :)x

40 minutes waiting to get through🙃🙃

Congrats hun I’m surprised my daughter was same even with night time needs and wheelchair she isn’t on high but my asd son got high who’s older it confuses me, im dreading doing her coc just waiting for her ehcp outcome and then back to the waiting bench 😭 6 months for coc sounds a lot but her renewal isn’t til 2027

Hi everyone, can somebody let me know the address to send in extra evidence? And what’s the quickest way to do it as my scan date is 26/07 so want to make sure it gets scanned on to their system in time? Thanks & congrats on few awards I’ve seen today 😊 x

Fingers crossed! You should hear before me. It’ll give me some hope 😆

Brilliant news! So pleased for you. I was confident you had been awarded when they wanted the extra evidence. Well done for keeping sane and congratulations xx

Also can anybody give me any advice on whether you think I should send this off as additional evidence. This is my sons discharge report from his speech and language therapist. I feel like it does embody some of his struggles with his speech but I don’t want them to look at it as ‘he’s been discharged, he mustn’t be that bad’ because the reason behind him being discharged is that now he is under the care of the school SEN team and his autism diagnosis is under way, the speech therapist thought that they had given him all the support they could and wouldn’t really be able to offer anything further? Any advice would be great, thanks. For context my son is 3 and a half, waiting for autism diagnosis and mostly non verbal x
