Still waiting for funding after Doctor got me confused with someone else:-(

[wishing on a star]

Hi everyone,

I posted recently explaining that my Dr said I did have funding but couldn't find the letter?
Still waiting for him to ring me back with confirmation I ended up chasing him today and surprise surprise, he had me confused with someone else and actually the funding office does not even have my referral :cry:

As if this is not a very long and tireing road after making the biggest decision of your life, to be told you have funding then to be told ooppppsss No you dont, im at my wits end and am so angry and upset:sigh::cry:

How blooming frustrating!!

If he is going to apply to the Commissioning Group, they give a decision within days. My GP sent the application on the 10th May and they wrote back on the 19th x

Please don't get your hopes up, I sincerely hope you get told soon but all PCT's are different. My application took 3 years to hey approval. Sorry to be so negative but you need to stay focused as you will get approval it may just take a while. As soon as you know that your GP has made the application give it a few day and call the PCT direct to make sure they have it. Get a name at the PCT for the person who will be dealing with the paperwork and then phone them every few months to check progress.
Take care

Morning

Just checked the dialling codes. If he has applied the the commissioning group then that contact number he gave you will begin 01903. When I spoke to them they said they consider the application within 2 days of receipt.

If the contact number he gave you is 01273 then he has applied to the PCT. When I spoke to the woman there she said they take 2-3 months.

Both the Commissioning Group and the PCT have a different list of approved providers. The PCT's are in West Sussex and Ashford, Middlesex. The CG's are all in London.

If you come to the next support group meeting the woman who runs it has quite few helpful handouts, or I can copy mine x

I hope things are sorted zoo. It's tough I know but chin up and although I hope you have a smooth ride the road can be very long and full of pot holes along the way.
