@megan345 well they did say a few weeks back not to worry about sending anything else through and that they have everything they need from me. Oh wow it's ridiculous and such a worry for alot of parents. Hopefully we all have a positive week and hear some good news

megan345 · 31/05/2025 11:54

i think you sent enough lovely; whats your scan date?xx

8/4 so a long wait 🤦‍♀️

Did you cross reference everything, in the reports, so easier for them to see? X

I did each smi test by number and copy and pasted everything throughout the reports that was relevant to each test and then put which report it was from, I did it mostly so it’s all in one place to show them she meets the criteria for smi because there is a lot of reports I sent in and I’m not sure if they will read them all.

@Kelz23 I just want to know if it's a yes or no, people are just rude and I bet most of these call handlers don't have a child with additional needs that desperately need the extra help and support.

I would just call, if they are funny let them be. I will be giving them until the end of week and then I’ll be calling regular 🙈

Sausagedogtoddles · 31/05/2025 13:55

@Kelz23 if I don't hear anything I'll give them a call Friday, good luck I hope you hear something soon.

COC SD 06/05 I called a few weeks ago and they said could be weeks could be months so I called yesterday and they said they don’t have a timescale on COC but they are running a few months behind🙈 think it’s the least prioritised as we already receive some sort of award already, but I’ve seen a few people say they are on November claims so still a long wait await for us X

Renewal 22/6 SD 11/2 - no news yet but thinking positive 💫 I have sent a fair bit of evidence off
6 IEPS, OT & EP report, ASD diagnosis, letters from school, and an email from ADHD Team to show we’re waiting an neurodevelopmental assessment and a detailed analysis of our everyday life! You just never know which way the desicion makers are gonna go, it’s nerve racking!

How do you know your scan date?

Curlycookie5 · 01/06/2025 11:24

PiousBitch · 01/06/2025 10:47

How do you know your scan date?

You will receive a letter saying they received your form this was scanned on such date and that is your scan date.

Laura771 · 01/06/2025 12:36

Hi I have been watching the thread. Thought I would share a update I have. Scan date for Mr 19/12 so over 25 wk. Rang Friday put me through to a case manager, she told me mine still wasn't with a decision maker and for mandatory reconsiderations there working at 20th November's. So could be another 4 weeks. My son is diagnosed ADHD and xyy syndrome and medicated. First rang to apply back in march 2024

Laura771 · 01/06/2025 12:46

I found mine up when I rang up it's the day they receive it and post on to the system I believe
