they have awarded DS middle rate care and low rate mobility-reason?
yes they accept that ds is incontinent in the night BUT he can wear, nappies or special pants which would mean me not having to get up
he can have the use of a commode in his bedroom if need be. he,s 10 FGS, i put on my application that its not fair to expect a 10 year old to sit on a potty/toilet, that his friends would know and it would have an impact on the limited social skills/friends that he already has.
i also told them that he cannot go to the shops round the corner or to the after school club across the road without someone taking him, that he doesnt go ANYWHERE without transport.
she said he cannot have high rate dla cos he isnt in a wheelchair or doesnt have a disability i told her she was wrong, that they were discriminating against him (i was very annoyed!!) and that he has a severe behavioural/mental difficulties, she said he can only get high rate mobility if he gets high rate care and he doesnt qualify.
i have got 4 weeks to send in extra info.
im looking for links, ive found davros link that quotes social security on it and i quoted it to the woman-she put me on hold!!!
has anyone had this and if so what did you do?
