Following

@TashaxJ something in post with statement of reason then a form to fill in I think he said? So I'm just waiting for that to arrive xx

@MrsBoo8888 did they send a letter out asking for birth certificate? I spoke to a DM they said was making a decision by end of day . Rang bk up following day to b told they needed my daughters birth certificate. Been waitin nearly 3 weeks to it b scanned on

MR 21/11 28weeks today. God help us get through this

Such a long wait it doesn't help when we are told so many different things

Yeah I got a letter asking for his BC on Friday. I sent it signed delivery Monday and recieved it back today. My SD is 26/3 so I don't see it being with a DM yet x

So stressful isn’t it!
the decision maker rang Tuesday and needed my sons updated CVI certificate before making the decision, sent straight away, they received yesterday morning, rang today and it’s been scanned on so they’re sending a message to DM to let her know!
I’ll ring again tomorrow 🤞
hope you hear something this week 🤞

How is that even possible 😱

@Mum2allgirls check at the end of your statement of reasons it’ll say yours sincerely then the name of the decision maker caus I wonder if we had the same one lol xx

@TashaxJ I will let you know lol x

I was fuming when I received my statement of reasons I’ll be honest lol It stated my sons refusal to walk is because he does not want to walk not that he cannot walk, also said that there’s no diagnosis currently for him (He is on the waiting list which I said numerous time throughout the claim) no EHCP, IEP or IBP in place currently (when I’ve got a meeting with the school about an IBP next month which I stated in my claim to them with proof) Also said that simple aids can be used to reduce the need for nighttime attention xx

@TashaxJ it's ridiculous isn't it, I dread to think what ours say as all he said on the phone was lack of evidence. 🙈 x

Did you send it recorded delivery? Are you sure it hasn't got lost?

@MrsBoo8888 no I sent sent it in envelope provided . I didn’t know u could do a recorded delivery until I joined here

Ah it probably got lost if they haven't got it after 3 weeks 😕

@MrsBoo8888 they said can take up to 6 weeks and I hope not cause it’s the only copy I have 😔

I would send off for a new one incase then send it recorded delivery. I wouldn't want to delay it anymore lol

morning, currently MR 26 weeks + 4 days. Probably won’t hear something for another week but definitely going to call up around 11 to see what dates there on. Hope everyone gets some positive news back today🤞🏼🤍

What’s you scan date? I’m from November MR and they’re dealing with mine now. They rang my daughters teacher on Wednesday for a statement and to confirm what I’d written was correct. They’d asked if she could roam school alone and her teacher said she told them absolutely not, it would be a danger and my daughter requires a constant 1-1. They also made them confirm she’s transported to school in a disability pushchair which they confirmed and said it’s for her own safety and regulation. So hoping I’ll have a decision by next week. I feel more anxious now I know it’s been worked on!
