The DWP and I aren't best of friends. A few years ago, they tried to tell me that my autistic, Statemented (with full-time 1:1) son wasn't entitled to DLA. After a year of nonsense, a Tribunal awarded higher x 2 and DWP apologised, paid compensation etc. Etc.
However, I didn't expect things to be any easier this time. Ds is now 11 and very-HFA. So I filled it in last weekend, sent minimal paperwork in, just his Statement and a couple of other reports. I figured I'd be appealing.
Less than a week later, award is back: high rate care and high rate mobility again.
One battle I won't have to fight and, even better, no renewal date...this means indefinite, right?
The first thing EVER that has jus happened like it should. No battle. I can't believe it.
