Edited

It’s so disheartening isn’t it! My son was completely declined so I haven’t got a clue which way it’s going to go, I don’t think I can mentally handle another decline! I’ve been fighting for him since 2023! I’m going to ring again Thursday, I was told last Wednesday by a decision maker that they were on 16/11 so I don’t know what to believe 🤦🏼‍♀️ good luck, let us know when you hear anything xx

TashaxJ · 27/05/2025 12:49

@Kirstylou91 I also sent a 10 page statement 🫣🤣 And I sent proof of his blue badge parking permit, the email from the school with NDT referral form and a few other things. But mine has been with a decision maker since around 09/05 I phoned up on 09/05 and this was the first day they told me it was with a decision maker and I phoned again this morning still no decision NC SD 08/01 xx

My daughter was also completely declined and I feel an injustice for her. 27 weeks is such a long time. I hope you hear soon. I was also told last week they were working around 16th/ 17th so thought we would hear something around now!!! Fingers crossed for them x

TashaxJ · 27/05/2025 12:52

@Kirstylou91 I did ask if they needed further evidence from school or gp etc and she said no so I’m guessing I sent enough. The not knowing is awful xx
