This is a page where we are all in the same boat, trying to win what our children deserve, please be kind and support one another, we all have enough stress without adding to it 😁

Thank you...apparently he does not require any more care than other children the same age...but he does!

His nursery are going to write me a letter to submit as additional evidence highlighting the support he gets there and point out how when he transitions to school in September it is all being handled by the SENCO with support from the local send team at the council

Heey can u tell me how coc’s work? My son is due for his renewal in December, however his care needs have increased day & night, do they open up the claim again im
confused and also can they lower the amount or override the original decision to a no decision

Hi Everyone, Ive been following this thread for a while, does anyone know roughly what scan dates they are currently working through? Mine is a new claim scan date 28/05

Also lovely to see how supportive people on this thread are! 😊

I sent my sons and recieved message to say they recieved them on 05/06/26, I called just to see where it was at and was told it’s not been allocated yet and that the 20 week time frame is no longer a thing and to ignore it, said it could take longer as theres a large back log! I was hopeful seeing all the quick turn arounds but not anymore.. I found them to be very rude and arrogant on the phone x

Is the scan date the same as the text you get to say they’ve received it? Sent special recorded and got the text the next day.

How long are COC taking to process atm?

Thanks

Anyone recent claim of coc?
Any idea want wait times are?
Scan date was 22nd may, thanks!

Looks like we have been accepted. Scan date 29/05. Pending bank payment of £535, no idea what that means we’ve been awarded, any ideas?

Looks like middle rate care and low mobility x
sorry cant reply to your comment it doesnt let me! X

Received Directions Notice today and DWP have to respond to the appeal by 30th July - not much of an update but moving forward slowly

Sent off for MR as my DDs claim was turned down. Sent some new evidence so hoping that helps. Think it now takes ages looking through what other people have said about waiting times. Feels really unfair, I would love to use the money on a few private treatments for her that she really would benefit from.

Any MRs from February completed yet?

Text to say recieved 28/05/26 . Waiting with you for coc . Is it for mobility? X

Finally filled in our COC form today, do we know how long they’re currently taking? A year or two ago it was nearly 6 months! 🙈
