Thank you... It's a mandatory reconsideration ❤️ first claimed December last year declined in may this year so nit waited long really considering other people's waits xxx

Well at least you wasnt thinking about it alot then, thats good. Yeah definitely ring tomorrow and let me know what they say. I rang today to tell them one of twins has been diagnosed with seizures caused by her holding her breath when dysregulated and she said not with a dm yet. She said they cant tell you wait times anymore!

I know, but the longer it is the time i have to send more evidence. I have some more to send tomorrow, havent told them that though! X

Oh thats brilliant! Hopefully you hear back quickly, id ring tomorrow or wednesday and you may be able to get decision. What was your SD for your MR, and was it straight decline? X

my scan date for mandatory was June the 4th as it was just a no because there was no evidence basically but now I've sent few bits of evidence and they spoke to school . So im really praying something good I hope . Have you waited long xxxx

Nope just off the phone.. no change to current award. Absolute joke.. 28 weeks 5 days for nothing !
I don't get it.

My little boy has been off nursery since Wednesday and still off now because he’s withholding doing the toilet, so been all go as he won’t walk and just wants carried so everything I’ve had to do this weekend has been with him attached to me more than he already is😂🙈 oh bless, such a shame and very worrying for you😭 seems to be all go for you too, hopefully our claims are dealt with in the next couple weeks and it’s one less thing to worry about X

Oh thats definitely not too long, but it is if you look at the bigger picture youve waited nearly a whole year. My MR is 04/08 straight decline as they couldnt get in contact with school and they wouldnt give me any evidence at first. Now have sent a fair few bits, plus a report from school and GP. So im hoping it will go in my favour.x

So if mines June yours shouldn't be to much longer but the case workers doing my decision im not sure if that's allowed or if its because they are so far behind xxxx I hope you get the outcome you are hoping for xxx

Oh no!
Have you asked for a statement of reasons?

That's not good at all bless him, hopefully he will go soon! I have same issue with my twins, they do exact same thing cant get anyting done so know exactly how you feel its awful bless you! It definitely is all go, hopefully fingers crossed we both do it will be whole lot of stress lifted xx

You will have to let me know once you have got your decision as it will give me a little bit of hope if yours is awarded. Im guessing mine wont be done til at least end of January anything sooner will be a bonus 😀x

Gutted..
He wouldn't give me a statement of reasons as the letter hasn't been issued yet.. apparently.

My son is 12 Asd, epilepsy came to haunt us this year. Seizures we've all been trained in rescue meds to deliver. Limited school timetable due to poor mental health and suicidal thoughts. Incontinent, can't do anything for himself. Needs constant supervision, bringing to appointments and therapies..
It's never ending the care and support he needs. We have special mattress pillows and alarms to monitor him.

Oh no, what was your change for care or mobility?X

All I sent was diagnosis reports and school send report and the outcome off assessments which show processing age to be 8.5 she's 14 . Ill keep you upto date I want to call now it just makes you feel on edge with the wait don't it you need to know if its another battle or if it'll be alright xxx

Both.. I was thinking of get hrc for sure due to the evidence from hospital/ neurologist and his care plan and health plan in school. It took me weeks to write I kept coming back to it to make sure I was capturing everything.

I thought maybe HRM but wasn't overly bothered about that.

Technically your claim start date is from the day you called to request the forms. Your scan date is they date they recieved them back. Most people start the wait time weekly count from the scan date so for you thats the 20/11.
Try not to worry give it til I would say mid January due to them closing for Christmas and new year then give them a call if you want an update.

Good luck

Google says its
Freepost DWP DLA Child.
That's all it says for address.
Include a cover note or letter explaining what you are sending.
Make sure to include all details at the top of each page, keep originals and send a copy of all in case lost.
Also recommends sending recorded delivery so you have proof it was sent and received.
Gov.uk literally says put nothing else on the envelope except the address and tracking details.

What was your mr scan date please xx

4th June babe xxx

Ah mine was 13th may 🤯 still waiting hope you get the outcome you hope for xx

What the actual id phone and complain that's crazy I did get the local mp involved so not sure if that has pushed it at all and thank you it should never take this long especially from that far back xxx

Okay similar to what ive sent then accept she hasnt got a diagnosis yet, still on the waiting list. It puts you on edge but at least its been looked at and your close to the end. You should definitely ring back first thing tomorrow on option 4 and theyll be able to tell you outcome. I really do hope it goes in your favour. Fingers crossed for you xxx

Im just going to call in morning to get the address as i dont want it going to wrong place lol. Thank you for looking it up for me i really do appreciate it xx

This is the same address as quoted on the gov site. Obviously if you are calling anyway thats good but definitely the correct address.

Thank you x I assumed as much just wanted to check. Trust me to get caught up with Xmas and new year times too
