Use option 4 there usually more helpful x

I keep forgetting that. I’ve seen a few people say this

Last time I called I was told no where near and she was reading off a script called option 4 today all I said was any update on my sons claim the man went straight on to say a decision was made yesterday told me the rates and the amount of back pay issued

Good luck keep us updated x ive got everything crossed for you

Hi all,
NC April 2025
rejected 16/09/2025 requested MR same day I received the letter (didn’t ask for their reasons why) sent all evidence following day tracked postage along with a letter from Sen teacher as when I filled in the forms and sent them I wasn’t aware I needed to do all of that.
received by DLA 19/08.
Awarded yesterday (I did receive a phone call from a very kind lady who answered any questions I had and talked me through why each rate was given)- went to decision maker 2 days prior.
I am very grateful to receive the help and every penny will be going to my son and towards his needs.
I did sent a message on the last thread but I didn’t receive a response from anyone so this is a message really for anyone who may be looking for dates they are working on and
I truly hope you all receive the decision you are hoping for along with the rates your child deserves to help you give them the life they truly deserve xx

Congratulations. Im the 26th August. Feels like its been forever I put it to the back of my mind since I put the MR in but the last couple of weeks have been so stressful think about it.

My sons been awarded MRC and LRM until 2032, he got awarded it last year summer, but I done forms back in dec 2024 and he’s needs day and night have got much worse. I’m so worried about doing a COC though as I’ve seen people say there claims have been taking away and lowered? Even though my sons needs have most definitely got worse I’m worried about doing the coc and jeopardising it, Isit worth me doing I’m so unsure! And could his 2032 date be changed aswell? any advice would be appreciated, please! X

COC scan date 6/2
Was for mobility as child turning 3 soon.
Got letter through today awarded HRM and kept MRC both until 2031.

Only took 3 weeks, I’m absolutely amazed I thought COCs were on 30 weeks!!

I understand, I did the same but as time goes on you start looking into it as questions go around in your head so you go looking for answers.
im sure you will hear soon, my guess is mid march and if you get a call don’t worry I blabber so much and she was so helpful and friendly.

Okay thank you very much. Yeah I panic when I have an unexpected call and just forget what I need to say. They called me for my other son who i put in for a tribunal. They called me when I was at work. I litrally had no sleep and had to be at work for 5am I have no idea what I said but they changed there minds and awarded my other son. Im just praying I dont miss the call of They phone me.

Congratulations🥰 xx

Thank you hun, so relieved it’s over! X

Im so happy for you, im hoping im not in for a long wait🤞 if you dont mind me asking how long was your child awarded for xx

What was your scan date did you say? She’s been awarded till 2028, she’s only 3 and we’re awaiting assessment x

My scan date is the 10th of feb. Ive applied for both of my twin boys age 4, they will be 5 in september. They are both awaiting adhd and autism assessments xx

Hopefully not too long for you then! Mine took 5 weeks and a few days xx

Sent our form off recorded delivery yesterday. Good luck to everyone waiting 🤞🏼🤞🏼xxx

Hi guys I was on here last year for my first ever NC for my son, now my daughters turn for NC , sent forms of 14th Feb was signed for by a colleague on 16th Feb still no SD I called this morning, there saying it’s taking 3 weeks to scan onto the system as there’s a big backlog 💛

Hi i sent both my twin boys NC of on 9th of feb tracked, and recieved a text the dat later on the 10th saying we have your child disabikity claim. I called them a few days later to double check that both had been scanned, and was told both were scanned on the 10th x

That’s really made me anxious now I have all evidence of them signing for it etc, mailing centre at DLA said it isn’t lost it’s just not been scanned on yet as there’s loads of backlog over the last 1-2 weeks , 2 weeks today since they received it 💛

I’m sure u was on the 70-71 thread when I was ur name looks very familiar, I could be wrong 💛

I have heard a few people say it can take a couple of weeks to scan onto the system, but i would of thought it would of been done staright away, as a lot of NC this year have been done really fast, wuth people getting decisions at around 4 to 6 weeks x

I rang twice last week and both call handlers told me the same thing, they also put me through to the mailing centre where they located my daughters form, just annoying as more weeks to wait but it is what it is,
my sons NC last year was 15 weeks on the dot , 4-6 weeks is shockingly fast . 💛

I hope they scan it soon🤞 .. my eldest sons first claim took almost 18 weeks in 2023, then when i done his renewal last year, it was due to end on 28th april and they awarded him around 6 days before. But ive seen alot of positve posts with NC and renewals being much faster then the previous years. I think im in for a long wait as a lady on here recentley was awarded for her twins and waited around 22 weeks. She says twin claims tend to take longer. Ive got my fingers crossed it doesnt take that long lol🤞🤞x

Not to to bad then I suppose same with my son 15 weeks ain’t bad at all considering a lot of people were waiting 20-24 weeks, I would treat a twins claim as double the time just so then ur not deflated waiting longer than others , hopefully we all get awarded MR’s are taking ever so long 💛
