I've been a silent watcher and supporter for a while and haven't been feeling to helpful. But have by some miracle been awarded today 😅
NC - scan date - 24/02 text received today so dead on 15 weeks, for my 2 and a half year old with suspected autism. Shocked but so so greatful for my little boy and hope you all receive your outcomes soon.

Congratulations! My sisters was dead on 15 weeks too 🤞

Hi my lovelies
Just got of the phone. My daughter was previously awarded hrc. I did Mr to extend the award period and for mobility.
our mr was successful. Her award has now been extended till 2028 and has been awarded LRM. I can’t tell you what I’m feeling right now. Happy that she’s been awarded but at the same time I feel like how if I hadn’t put in an mr which for many years I didn’t my daughter would have never been awarded what she is entitled too.
mamas hang in there tight and go with your gut. You know your child best xx

Hi all after seeing March dates being awarded I decided to call my scan date is 7th march
The lady said it is waiting to be allocated to a case manager
Am I expecting to be contacted soon or am I still in for a long wait 😬

Mine should be the same as yours then! I think it goes case manager and then DM so maybe a couple more weeks for us which will then be 16 weeks 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thank you

MR 21/11 28+4 weeks

I actually just photocopied some of the documents I sent in on the renewal. I don’t think they looked at the paperwork at renewal to be honest. I also just written how my daughter needs a lift pass. How her condition and care needs are lifelong

hope you all hear soon x

Hi all. For those waiting on MR, my scan date was 20/11 and I’ve received my decision today!

Motherlysweet · 09/06/2025 15:35

Am please for you ladies but it seems I am the only 1 left...
I don't know why mine is taking this long .
It's just so difficult seeing earlier dates being responded to.
I am really stressed and feeling alone .
I apologise sounding this way but my anxiety is over the roof now .
MR sd is 15/11

No they didn’t tell me why. I sent it recorded weeks ago. They’ve told me it’s with the decision maker. Fingers crossed it gets done
