when I first claimed for my children I had 2 x decisions on a Tuesday and back pay Friday and 1 x decision on a Friday and back back when in on a Wednesday and they all get paid every 4 weeks on a Tuesday

@Mum2allgirls thank you, starting to stress me out now I'm worried I haven't sent enough evidence xx

Mum2allgirls · 04/06/2025 07:33

@Kirstylou91 I don't even know if I have it in me to call today after yesterday 😫 x

Kirstylou91 · 04/06/2025 07:34

NC SD 24/02/2025

MRC awarded for my DS
He is only 3 so I was doubting whether he would receive anything but so unbelievably relieved his needs have been recognised. I called last Wednesday to inform them of a COC and was advised I still had time to send in additional evidence, which I sent on 2/6/25 but I’m assuming a decision was already made by the time they even received it.
I had sent it quite a lot of evidence including
school one page profile
support worker letter
OT letter
Sleep diary
Enhanced play report
SALT report
Social communication tool
SOGS by Health Visitor
Paeds report
Paeds Asthma report
Day care support letter
EP report

14 weeks 2 days from SD to payment date

Good luck to everyone still waiting

Congratulations xx

Katiie13x · 04/06/2025 07:51

@Kirstylou91 @Mum2allgirls Good luck today! Keeping my fingers crossed xx

NC SD 22/01

i am still waiting from January :(

anyone else?

I sent a statement of school needs from SENDCO
Educational psychologist report
a copy of his EHCP
his ASD diagnosis letter and report
proof he is on ADHD pathway
and test results that show he scored way below average on two tests for working memory and cognition.

I feel like we are going to be declined because I’m now seeing late Feb be awarded. It’s horrible that it drags out so long and they won’t explain why on the phone they just bluntly tell you it could be 25 weeks and to call back then.

Good luck today hun xx

good luck everyone calling xx

Crescentmoon2222 · 04/06/2025 08:05

You don’t have to do a personal statement. I think you have plenty of evidence looking at it hun. You should be ok.

Sausagedogtoddles · 04/06/2025 08:17

@Lmtab I'm still waiting, I'm a day after you, 19 weeks is crazy considering people are getting answers at 14 weeks xx

Laura771 · 04/06/2025 08:17

Please can anyone advise do you always get a txt message if you get awarded

Liya1xx · 04/06/2025 08:30

Good luck today everyone, hopefully loads of awards given out 🤞🏼🤍
