Congratulations! 🎉

That’s terrible. Why cause more anxiety when they could just say 🤔

Honestly I never anticipated this. At least with school things are taking a step in the right direction now i’ve voiced my issues. Thank you x

Good luck I think that will help in giving them the final push. Mind you with what I’ve seen on here the decision could well be done and waiting on you to call up again

We’ve used this website in the past. It’s not particularly cheap but I liked the items on there

Hi guys!
SD 17/7 - COC wanting to add on mobility.
Been told today it's still in the holding queue and to call on 14/1 if I've not heard anything. So disheartening specially when dates way after mine are being seen to.

Am 23/7 coc and been told for few weeks now its with a dm and am still waiting it's really draining 10days ago i was told within the next 10day an that hasn't happened so nice seeing everyone getting there awards but driving me insane when its all dates after mine 😢

NC SD 06/08/24 East Midlands
I got through to general enquiries after 45 minutes. A lovely lady answered the phone and was so helpful. She told me the decision was made yesterday morning and that my son has been awarded HRC. I told her I want to cry. She said it will be backdated to the 1st of July and payment has been sent. I'm still in shock. My heart was racing on the phone waiting for her to tell me. All I sent was the audiologists letters of their action plan, the nursery questionnaire for an autism assessment and the pathway letter. I thought I didn't send enough evidence and was ready for decline. All the best to everyone! It is such an emotional process to go through.

NC SD 16/08
been reading these posts for a while to keep myself a bit sane!
I have rang once a week for the past 3 weeks - first call told me it was with dm and today then told me it’s in a queue for the dm so I don’t really trust them I just like to think maybe it brings it to attention if someone refreshes the screen on your details or something!
my little girls only 9 months nearly so I do think they are going to decline the claim but she was born with life long medical condition which we see multidisciplinary teams for have surgeries etc so we will see the outcome.

Praying tomorrow brings us lots of rewards to end the week especially to them still waiting from July
Good luck everyone x

Is today the day? Doubt it for me lol x good luck everyone

Best of luck to you! Fingers crossed! 🙏

My SD is 7/8 and I’ve seen a couple with my date have been awarded so might ring today although I’m a bit anxious. I sent referral form for ASD and letter from NHS accepting my son onto pathway and detailed his daily struggles. Just hope it was enough.

Fingers crossed for you there is a few August dates getting done now :) xx

I really hope today is your day. I have everything crossed for you🤞🏽🤞🏽x

hope to see lots of positive outcomes today🤞🏽🤞🏽

My daughter’s claim was accepted at the end of November as she turned 10m and we were awarded HRC until she’s 7. So don’t be disheartened, we have DS, infantile spasms, damage to one side of her brain, respiratory issues, sight and hearing issues but I was amazed it went so well first time, I expected a decline too.

I really hope so would be nice but let’s see what they say today x

Don’t let them palm you off. You’ve waited long enough now. They are working on start of August, you’ve done as they’ve asked so time for them to do their part and make a damn decision🤦🏽‍♀️

I won’t be doing I’m aiming to ring at 11 see how that goes 🙈🙈

I’ll be hovering in thread waiting for an update from you😂
