Was it NC? What was you scan date and how old is he if you don’t mind me asking as it can be difficult to get any mobility under 5 x

Just seen was NC and SD 17/11.. I’m 24/11 so still long way to go but I know some have been awarded from close to this date. Xx

Anyone recently been awarded from scan dates from 15-27th November?? Seeing loads say they have just wanting to check if many have here xx

Thanks. My Sd for nc is 26/11. Im guessing it will be after new year as dont know about working dates over christmas. Fingers crossed🤞 for you to get the decision that's right for your child.

My sd was 27/10 my daughter got awarded hrc 2nd December

Sounds like it’s taken on average 5 weeks for NC that are after oct time. My daughters was October and got awarded in November, I’ve did MR for her as they didn’t backdate to the date on form. It’s been nearly 6 weeks. My other daughter I did her NC 24/11 which will be 4 weeks Monday so hopefully get her extra evidence in before they make a decision I don’t have the energy to do another MR xx

His was a NC, SD 17/11 so was quite quick decision. Thank you x

NC is a new claim, the scan date was 17/11. He is 6, have been awarded for 2 years which by the renewal date I should have a bit more evidence to send off as he is waiting for a few assessments

No I said was it a NC lol. Think you might have read the first part wrong, my little one shouldn’t be too far behind, did you send much evidence I’ve only sent copy of my daughter ADHD/asd referral. I have more evidence now though so hoping it’s not been done yet as I don’t think I originally sent enough xx

Sorry yes I did lol that’s what half asleep reading does lol I sent a OT report that his school done as that is all I had, he is waiting in a speech and language assessment and a autism assessment x

@Red1991 I called they have got my evidence and it has been scanned onto the system. She told me its still not with anyone so i dont know what the hell is going on 18 weeks now ive been waiting!

Yeah nc are getting done so quick at the min I thought mine would of took longer as I forgot to sign declaration so they had to send it back out but was done really quick x

I’ve rang this morning, told me decision was made 19th (Friday) wouldn’t tell me on the phone said a decision wasn’t showing. I’m panicking now as I didn’t send her extra evidence and I didn’t get a text to say she had been awarded 😭 my other daughter got her text then I rang someone straight away and told me the decision so I think it’s possibly a bad one that’s why won’t tell me xx

Do they tell you on phone even if unsuccessful? X

MR 16/6 just phoned up still not been looked at ld me to int the 2nd week f jamuary

SO she’s been awarded HRC LRM til 2028!! No backdate again though, I dunno what’s going on!! Cx

Do you mean you didn’t it backdated to your scan date x

Yes it was 10 days late. She said on the phone they all had emails to be extremely strict on scan dates and if not in on the date on form to not award. My reasoning is very good. She said she will give me 4 weeks to get more info in to get the decision turned around so that’s good better than having to do MR xx

Wow this is annoying lots around your date are being done so frustrating for you :(

Oh wow never knew they could do that fingers crossed you get it overturned xx

I know it’s ridiculous and the lady on the phone said it is very strict date order which I don’t believe I’m not holding my breath to get the outcome my boy deserves anyway it would of been nice to know before Xmas tho especially with all the June dates getting done but I’m just going to forget about and enjoy Xmas with the kids hopefully it won’t be too long after new year xx

Neither did I she give me the option on the phone. Might only be regarding payments though xxx

Hi just wanted to say I put a renewal in for my daughter last month, scan date was the 5th December and I've got a letter today that she's been awarded for 6 years! (Up to the day before her 12th birthday, she is 5) So a very quick turnaround! I'm surprised how quick it was done! She's gone from HRC to MRC and also gets LRM.
I also received the letter today that they're looking into her claim😂 so I think the post is a bit slow round our way!

Great news on the renewal! I’m waiting on mine scan date 22/11 but not due until 27/02. When was your renewal due?

At 29 weeks MR anyone still waiting for decision scan date 02/06?
has anyone got the MP involved and did it make any difference..
