ok who got or didnt get DLA for aspergers if applted?

[trace2]

just wondering cos out a claim in in dec for ds whos 6 y not heard yet, if we get turned down do we appeal?

Ask for it to be looked at again yes, ds3 went from refuse to higer rate (ASD).

DS1 (AS / HFA) gets higher rate care, low mobility but we have a letter from PAed saying he needs 24 / 7 care due to his aggression which is true.

we know they sent to pead but dont know what she said, i just a feeling we may be turned down

how long is the time frame for sending form off and receiving a decision?

I have mine to send off for DS so watching with interest.

I am so sick of fighting everyday, really hope mine goes straight through - will keep my fingers crossed for you too trace2.

SammyK they say 11 weeks for children but i know some who heard with in 2 weeks where other go over the 11 weeks! mines been there 6 weeks now but it as been christmas.

and good luck to sammy

We got middle rate care and low rate mobility for DS (age 5, HFA). Took about 8 weeks. I was expecting to fight so this was a pleasant surprise.

I posted mine on new years day and it came back today. It went to the blackpool office. I think they can write to people for reports which must slow it down alot if they need to do this.

sarah573 mine went to blackpool to did you get dla? you dont have to say what

First time of applying we heard back within two weeks. This time they got back to us last week (middle rate care and low mobility granted now) so it was roughly 10 or 11 weeks.

We got it but after reconsideration. It was before dx too.

J is HFA & ADHD - got middle care from 3, then also low mobility at 5, is now on high rate for both after a 1.5 year renewal-pants rate - reconsideration-refusal-reconsideration - pants rate - reconsideration and then tribunal!

I can't wait until the back payment...

First time we applied took about 8 weeks. They wrote to the school for a report, so that may have slowed things a little. DD has no dx but we got middle rate care and lower rate mobility. Have just had to reapply, we posted back on Boxing day and are still waiting to hear. Fingers crossed!
