Renewals between 15-20 weeks approx

scan date (SD) date form was scanned on the system and counting weeks for decision
original claim date: date you called up for the forms and you will be backdated

UC : universal credit

Does anyone know the options to hear award via phone might do that forst then call lol

I tell you it’s my post code that’s putting them off😂😂 I’m 21 weeks tomorrow

Ah I thought case handler and decision makers were two different people, thanks.

Sorry I do know what DWP is.....I meant I'm not sure they even know their own processes lol hence why it gets confusing.

Congrats xx

Not claim. From when they recieved the COC forms.

Just got off the phone from 15th July till 29th Dec my little boy gets middle rate care and then on his 3rd birthday so from 29th Dec he will get middle rate and high mobility so emotional good luck everyone else with your awards

Keep us updated!!

I completely understand that and well done requesting some of his ECHP funding because some people don't know they can do this plus can ask to see where their funding is spent and allocated so even if a child is in full time attending full time can request to see how it's allocated and request some funding for resources at home.
It's just such a let down schools don't offer up information or alternatives of support most times you need to know what you can and can't ask for as in my experience no one offers help
Thank goodness for netmums honestly found out so much stuff this year be lost without you all.🤓x

Congratulations!!!😍

Fingers crossed x

Congratulations!!😍

@SKB12 just seen on Facebook someone’s MR decision made yesterday 08/07

That’s good you’ve got a place in mind. The primary that we have here SENDAR approached them when my son was at the end of year 4 but they said they couldn’t meet in, they were consulted again when he was in year 6 ahead of going in to Year 7, same response. His now class teacher has worked there and said he wouldn’t have suited there as his needs are higher hence why they said they can’t meet his needs. My sons school goes up to 6th form so he won’t need to transition again which he had to go through intense transitioning and still doesn’t cope
