NC: SD 21/12/24
Awarded: 21/04/25 HRC & LRM for 2 years. ( No text received to say award was successful, I called on 28/04/25 to check progress and was told over the phone that a decision was made/ the date it was made and the rate. Backpay should be received at the end of the week.)
•Just as a side note my little one is Age 8 and in the assessment stage for a combined ASD & ADHD (after a 2 year wait through the Right to Choose scheme via my GP) . The local authority have also agreed to assess for an EHCP, the assessment process has just started. My little one currently attends an area inclusion provision, which she has attended since September 2024, as she was suspended from school too many times and unfortunately they are unable to accommodate her needs. For anyone in a similar situation & battling with mainstream schools, it’s a brutal process without any diagnoses, please hold in there and fight for our children, always go with your gut instinct and do not allow mainstream schools to control the narrative of our children, our children matter and deserve to have an education and experiences with other children. Keep pushing until you find a provision that suits your child.
•Evidence sent: (I didn’t send all at once as I was still gathering everything together. I sent most of the extra evidence on 12/03/24.
