I have just got my son’s renewal back, they have awarded him low-rate care and low rate mobility. However I think he should have got a higher award, he has autism, adhd and a gastrointestinal diagnosis. Whilst all his needs means he consistently needs help with lots of things, his gastrointestinal issue is one of the most significant as he soils throughout the day and night and with his autism he needs help with this (changing pants, washing underwear, washing hands, showering, hygiene). He gets up during the night and needs help with this, as he will do things like put soiled pants back on or not wash his hands or leave the toilet in a state. I put all of this on his form and gave the evidence which is letters from his paediatrician confirming all of this. The reasons DLA gave for low-rate was that he is at a mainstream school, he doesn’t have an EHCP and he’s described as being clever and happy.
He is 12.
Does this sound right to experts on here or should I be putting in a mandatory reconsideration?
