MR - MANDATORY RECONSIDERATION
SD - SCAN DATE

I’m 20/11, unfortunately I think it’s just a case of us having decision makers who aren’t working a lot! Hold in there, hopefully won’t be long for us! Xx

This is my fear that they don’t look. Hopefully they see my 50 pages and think let’s just give it 😂 so happy for you xx

I really hope so...thanks for the kinds words. It's only waiting left for us to do at the moment.I will just hang there.
Thanks again for replying my message.It feels better a bit knowing we still have November ladies left here😊x

Nc sd 13/2/2025 got a text today we got awarded! Not sure what rate ect... good luck everyone still waiting 🍀 x

Unfortunately it wasn’t! I can counter argue every point they’ve made. They’ve denied because school have said she can walk around school without her pram and play outside with friends. Course she can, her school consists of two small rooms, no corridors and a yard the size of a smaller small garden 🫣

Thanks. What is your scan date? Have you called them up at all?

NC SD 20/01

any other Jan dates still waiting?

does anyone know whats the latest time you could get a text to say awarded🤣 they said they’d text when done (know this isn’t a guarantee) but found myself checking my phone all day🤣

I never got text when my kids got awarded.

I had asked to receive a text but never did

Hi,

SD; 4/4/25. I’m 15 weeks in.

I’ve had a letter saying they need my son’s birth certificate to confirm his date of birth. Does this mean they are looking at my claim atm?

I got that 2 Fridays ago SD 26/3 so I'm guessing they was just getting mine ready for a DM rather than looking at his claim. Make sure you send it recorded delivery, my sons got sent back to me 2 days later. What's your SD? 4/4 makes you 9 weeks in?

Not necessarily no. I had a letter asking for son’s birth certificate back in April, I sent it off straight away and they returned it about a week later. I rang up last Friday as I’m in my 15th week to be told it isn’t even with a decision maker yet and could be 25weeks and possibly even longer 😔 I’m hoping that’s not the case though.

Oh I don’t know. I got that letter and another letter saying that I’m 15 weeks and they’re still looking at it. Perhaps I need to read them better. 😂

Thank you. Fingers crossed you’ll get the decision soon. 🤞🏻

Thank you. Here’s hoping we all hear something back soon 🤞

@Horseymummaof2 if u don’t mind me asking what was ur son awarded ? My daughter is 3 similar probs with adhd x

Yes I am . SC 29/01

DM has sent a letter to the school for further information.

Lol ah no it says it can take up to 15 weeks for a decision, everyone gets that letter hehe. Nc are taking about 15-18 weeks atm so wait until 15 weeks from your scan date then call an see if they have made a decision, also sent his birth certificate ASAP signed delivery. Good luck hun x

@Lmtab nc sd 18/1 still waitin

Hi guys just a heads up how fast thing can change.

decision makers & case managers are the same people the call handlers may call them a decision maker or a case manager anyway…

I called twice end of may and was waiting to be assigned to a case manager / DM

called back on 2nd June as seen some late Feb / early March dates being awarded, same again waiting to be assigned

4th June something was telling me to ring so rang bang on 9 weren’t though security and lady said a decision was made on 3rd June, she said she wasn’t able to tell me the decision so I asked her to put me through to someone who could, waited on hold, a lovely lady answered, told me my sons award , the payments & all the info I needed to know.

so from 2nd June my claim waiting to be assigned to the next day a decision made can change very quickly

💛 gd luck to everyone

Oh no, so sorry to hear this!
dont give up, keep fighting!
I wish you all the best xx

My SD 17/2
