Fantastic 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 well done you and your boy ❤️

I'd been routing for you for ages. Was so glad when I heard you were awarded. same with @Chels2020 it's so nice when everyone is supportive of everyone else x

Honestly guys thankyou I genuinely expected a decline so I’m glad I’m not even gunna phone up for the rates just gunna enjoy Christmas with my 3 boys and I’ll get a letter probably end of January 🤣🤣 honestly you guys have been amazing this group is amazing! Xxxx

Wonderful news! So pleased for you! The wait is over

The back pay will come in before the letter 😂 made up for you. Your boy deserves this. Reminds me so much of mine and the lack of concern from school 😭

I’m supposedly still down for a call back to ask about my date. I’m out but have tones on 😅

Yeah I’m guessing new year now for back pay I’ll be able to work it out from that and his school are useless! I will get his own sensory stuff now rather than relying on them! X

Last bit of evidence squeezed in ahead of the Christmas closure £8.35 later 😂 I don’t usually do special delivery but it’ll be there ready for when they can be bothered to take a look! 20 weeks tomorrow it beggars belief

Really really hope you get your decision today! You've been waiting so long!

Finally I have I received a text message I haven’t called today x

That's fantastic! 😍🤩👏🏼Huge huge congratulations to you! 🥳🎉 Been waiting for you to get your news too 😁

Good going! Will be sticking around to see your decision come through. 😊

NC S/D 09/08 just had a call from DM to ask about night time needs, she said she was going to speak to nursery but said actually she thinks she has all she needs there in front of her to make a decision, and that she will be making a decision very very soon. Really worried now!

Ahh congrats and a merry Christmas

Holy poop!!! Just had a text to say my son qualifies 😂😂😂 feel a bit sick lol. No idea what rates but don't care right now. It's over finally. No more stressing for now. 20 weeks 4days.

I caved and rang 🤣🤣 got low mobility middle care untill 2026 👍👍 so glad this is finally over

Can anyone help me when updating uc in doing this now when do I put the change occurred? Isit my scan date or today?

It’s the date you applied to dla then ask for it to be backdated, also carers element.

Congratulations. So glad you heard back before Christmas. Did they not give you any dates? If you called for the forms it should have been back dated to then. (If you got them back in time) xx if so use the date from when you called for the forms. If not it will be your scan date xx
