Just had a note on the web portal with an update on waiting times for the assessment appointment for anyone who is interested or in the process at the moment. Not great in terms of my anxiety over it all but I can't really fault it when I'm one of the people adding to their caseload.
Got diagnosed some months ago, waiting time was about 3 months
my waiting time was 3 years because my gp didnt bother to send the referral and left it on their desk then stupidly asked if i wanted them to send it when i rang them up about it 3 years later, still waiting now.... probs 4 years by this date now. thats kinda how it is for me though, society always neglected and forgotten me lol too bad they dont forget about me when it comes to paying their wages by my tax though eh
I had to threaten my GP because that idiot kept stalling. From what I know, NHS "suggests" the GPs to stall the referrals to PsychUK because they do not want to pay. Too bad that this time they found one of the few aggressive and violent aspies!
I don't believe that they suggest stalling, again that's not my experience or that of other people I've talked to about their referrals. Just because that happened to you, doesn't mean it happens to everyone.
