Amazing news. Feel happy for you. Have a wonderful Christmas!

Amazing news! So pleased for you and your daughter - it's such a relief when someone else 'sees' it isn't it?!

My daughter struggled through Primary school with all of her teachers saying that they had no concerns and couldn't see the things I was saying. Then 2 weeks after she went into yr 6 her teacher said "absolutely, I can see what your saying and I 100% agree that she certainly has autistic traits and would benefit to some support being put in place"
The relief was huge - I felt the same when she was awarded DLA - Congratulations again 🙂

Congratulations! I’m still waiting, not heard a thing at all 😭

Awwww congratulations sooo happy for you

Been watching a while my sd was 5/8 no i rang yesterday morning most unhelpful person said could be more 25weeks (first time been told that) to get a text an hour later one of my twins was awarded hrc just waiting for my other twins award now so don’t loose hope they say what they want to hopefully I hear about the other twins today xx

Good luck today guys @Chels2020 @Kc1999x and the MR from 02/07 sorry I can’t recall your tag x

I have received my daughters last payment from DLA today which was for the amount of £737.20. Today was my usual pay date but her claim runs out on the 28/12/2024. She receives HRC no mobility. I doubt very much her renewal has been done yet as I sent it in late. Can anyone help with why the figure is more than usual? As I was expecting maybe a week or so oddment more but it’s not adding up to me. Thanks :)

That’s not last payment I don’t think. That’s hrc and HRM my love

renewal has been done. Well done!

Running so late so won’t even be able to get on the phone till like 10😂 fuming

do you think? My scan date was 20/11! I don’t want to get excited haha

108.55x4 + 75.75x4 =737.20
someone correct me if wrong but it looks like they’ve added HRM

Thankyou im gunna phone maybe after lunch give them chance 🤣🤣 x

Swear I should make the call at 9am for you 😂 let us know. I hope today is your day xx

Think your right if your award is due to end then babe probably already done renewal xx

Your patience is amazing! Good luck x

I just can’t see it been done yet so don’t want to spend 45 minutes on hold for not yet 🤣🤣 so maybe after dinner they have had a full day and half so might have some luck! And then I can request another message sending to the dm lol x

Your renewal has been included in your payment. Congratulations!

@Kc1999x don’t know whether to bother ringing today obviously it’s not been assigned but it’s becomes like a ritual 😂

Why has it taken so long when your evidence was delivered next day? Is your claim more complex?

They scanned my evidence under my national insurance number so only been added to my sons yesterday when a lady told me to ask them to check under me as it got there Wednesday 6am should have been scanned that day but never the less we found it 🤣🤣 and it’s now where it’s suppose to be x

Thank you everyone! I’m going to do the dreaded call to confirm and I’ll let you all know. I was expecting a 15 week wait at least which I’ve been stressing about. Had the forms since end of August but just find them so overwhelming kept putting it off! This is her first renewal. X

Thank you...give them a call the guy I spoke to said it was decided on the 11th and when I asked if it was awarded or declined he put me through to someone else fingers crossed that u will hear something soon xx

I’ve just received a message my other twins also qualifies fingers crossed everyone else waiting hears soon sd 5/8

Hi, does anyone know how long it takes to hear that an MR has been received? X
