Just rang and got a decision. SD 27/02. My son has been awarded HRC until September 2028 no mobility as hes under the age of 5. Really wasn’t expecting HRC. Good luck to all of you waiting I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you all x

Congrats 🙌🏻

I’ve just got off the call and they’ve said still with the dm but call back Monday and see if a decision has been made if I don’t get a text but they will be working weekends to try catch up with the world load

thank you. I didn’t get a text. Rang yesterday to be told it was with a DM. I wasnt going to ring until the end of next week but a DM rang me this morning to confirm a few details and said I should have a decision by the end of the day, so rang back at 4 waited 45mins on hold to be told the decision and rates. Good luck and fingers crossed for you on Monday x

Edited

Thank you! I provided 17 page autism report, paediatric letter stating about her mobility, paediatric reports, letter from senco, camhs report quite a lot but a lot of this didn’t state anything about mobility it was them talking to the senco and asking how she was in school helped us a lot as we had no EP report yet as we’re still waiting and no ehcp as of yet x

I hope so too! Please update me with yours I hope you get your award🥺 the main thing that helped me was them speaking to the senco I’m pretty sure they were going to decline if they didn’t get through! I think hearing it from someone else definitely helped I feel so grateful x

Oh that's crazy! Your son clearly as you've stated needs additional help, I really feel for you, I know it's hard I've been here myself but do if you feel strong enough to put in the MR because don't let them away with it, an ECHP itself is a lot of evidence in itself, ultimately it's your choice but if it was me I would most certainly put in a MR, i also do think it depends on the DM a lot of the time too which is wrong, I've also heard ( not sure how true ) that they only get like 1 hour to look through a claim which is not long enough imo just such a long and draining wait. I wish you all the best. Take care x

Oh my God after seeing your post i am worried about my son mr what they gonna say about him he is currently on mhc lrm and he needs to be in pram he refeuse to walk if you dont restain him he runs to words danger.he is still on nappy he has ehcp.on provision.he stay awake at night he ĥad his initial assassment waiting for main assassment for autism.i am worried whats going to happen.mr 27/2

Is there anyone from February still waiting for a decision? NC SD 24/02 still not heard anything too worried to call as I think majority who have been awarded found out sooner so I have convinced myself it’s a decline as had the same with my youngest and had to do MR for her.

I am mines 28/02
but it is with a dm so just waiting til Monday and I will give them a call and see what’s happening if I don’t get a text over the weekend

Victoria52308 · 14/06/2025 09:00

@Momof3boys2girls maybe I should bite the bullet and call Monday as well and see if it is with a decision maker as last time I called it wasn’t that was a week yesterday, good luck for when you call Monday, also congratulations to all that have been awarded🙂.

so happy for you and vicksmumof3
amazing news ❤been watching Liya for a while hoping for the best. its great also to get a long award then not have to do a renewal in a years time or however it works

im almost week 11 and i keep thinking its a decline. but this is a lifelong disease she has and affects her everydays i would hate to have to put in an MANDATORY RECONSIDERATION.

i cant wait to update everyone when ours comes through
sent the birth certificate off wednesday, surely they have recieved it now but cant call in to confirm til monday
im also a bit anxious as my phone broke and i had taken pictures of every single question on that phone and its still in the shop getting repaired. im worried they will call me and ask me questions and i will fumble.
bloody hell this is awful. think id rather have a couple 10cm contractions and its over with and got the award than the long dragged out wait of all this and possibly declined.
argghhhhh
