Eeekkk!!! It’s been delivered!

Ooooh I hope it gets done today!

Call them later this afternoon to “check if it’s been scanned on” 😂 aka see if it’s been awarded 🤞🏻

I have a feeling it’s your week this week hun xxx

Thank you so much ladies. I’m saying I’ll call tomorrow but I know I’ll cave in this afternoon 🤣. I’m getting worried because the teacher literally ticked all the correct boxes, but I’m worried she didn’t give enough information x

🥳🎉🙌 your day x

@MammaLBlue Aww no way! Hopefully you're not waiting much longer. Just a nightmare isn't it?

Oooh hopefully it’s not much longer for you. I know how horrible the wait is x

My SD 19/06 coc woke upto back payment pending in account today so hopefully you will be any day now I was 21 weeks yesterday x

Best of luck and hope you hear this week x

Amazing news!!! Congratulations

Omggggggg how exciting!!! Did you write on the envelope urgent, evidence requested? I'd ring up at 4 🤣🤣

Oh bugger no I forgot. Yes I definitely will! This is gonna be such a long day!

I'm sure it's going to be fine. I would even ring this morning to put a note on for the DM to say you can see the extra evidence requested has been delivered. She may be checking the case daily to see if it's arrived to get her stat x

@MrsW12 Thank you for your reply I hope so too 🤞

I hope so. I just keep going over and over everything and reading that bloody report to try and reassure myself. I think I I’m just nervous because I’ve seen people be declined because they don’t have a 1:1 which she doesn’t x

SD 12/08

been told should hear by 30/12 (20weeks)

@PhoenixB19 Aww yay I'm glad you've had a decision 😊 thank you, hopefully mine won't be long now 🤞

Seen on fb.. 2 end of July decisions

Just got off the phone to see how long my sons award is for...
HRC to continue
HRM awarded till 2031!!!
7 year award till he is 12 yo.
So pleased 😭🎉🥳

Good luck to all still waiting xx

Congratulations to those awarded 🎉

If that's the case my son will be declined as he doesn't have a 1:1 but he doesn't sleep. Jumps off anything and everything, will not brush his teeth or get dressed without a fight because of his sensory issues. He has violent outbursts. But most of it is at home and he can mask to a certain extent in school. But here's to hoping the listen to the parent and don't just rely on 'professionals' who hardly ever see them or have 30 other kids to deal with and share their time with x

This is absolutely amazing 🤩 so pleased for you

Oh I'm so happy for you! Congratulations! What a long wait you had but I'm so glad it was good news 😊

Awww he won’t. I’m just overthinking as usual. My 11 year old gets MRC and LRM for personal care reasons and doesn’t have a 1:1. My brain has just gone into overdrive 🤪. Oh bless him. It’s so hard isn’t it. What was your SD again? X
