My son has not been awarded. Does anyone know how mandatory reconsideration works and what is the success rate. Also how long do these take. Any advice is appreciated

@Gemma96x have u had a decision from UC yet? I have a letter on my journal stating they agree with special circumstances that delayed me up dating them and my UC will be adjusted from July but no mention of back pay. Has anyone else received info on back pay or is just paid?xx

2 days after getting this letter I got a note on the journal to say about backpayment how much and when

@MissEllie2 thankyou so kind of you, happy birthday to you too for Thursday x

MissEllie2 · 21/11/2022 08:00

@Meli3 Happy birthday to your daughter! It’s my birthday on Thursday too 🥰. Hope she has an amazing day tomorrow x

Meli3 · 21/11/2022 07:40

Good luck all I'm going to try and put this to the back of my mind, it's my daughter's birthday tomorrow so going to enjoy the build up to that. She is very excited. Hope I hear something then as she totally deserves this 🥺 x

MissEllie2 · 21/11/2022 07:31

Scan date 24th August for my sons claim
Scan date 23rd August for my daughters. Son ASD dyspraxia hyper mobility and daughter ASD traits (no assessment yet) severe dyslexia.
Been watching these threads for a few weeks really hoping for this week a decision either way.
I claimed previously for my son several years ago and got HRC and HRM then renewal MRC and LRM then didn’t renew when it expired which 3 years ago ! as it was so stressful doing the forms I just couldn’t bring myself to do it all again until over summer when I thought my kids would really benefit from it.
Took me a while to do the two forms. It’s such a stressful process and I think it puts a lot of people off doing it even though it’s money for the children for extra items they need
I’ve never looked if I could get UC either I work so I just thought I wouldn’t get it

We never applied before (we didn’t know the correct details about it), but I agree with you: The forms are incredibly stressful. I also sent ours late. I found them so draining! My children are my joy… the light of my life…. But for the weeks I was filling the form, I was constantly hyperaware of the difficulties we face every day… quite depressing… there was no away I could just sit and gather evidence complete all quickly. And now we wait!

good luck for today news everyone!

Sammi85 · 21/11/2022 06:55

Do they pay you quite quickly? my son was accepted last Wednesday and they said they issued the payment the same day but still haven't recieved anything?

Eleanor55 · 20/11/2022 23:58

I think the day varies as depends what day of the week your application is approved/successful and that’s the day you receive funds then every 4 weeks after

Eleanor55 · 20/11/2022 23:56

I also missed the deadline for the forms to be returned to backdate to the phone call but I did include exceptional circumstances why they were late - my house had covid and I was quite unwell with it - so I will update also if that was successful in case it helps anyone else who misses the deadline - I’ve nothing to lose I thought by explaining why there was delay

Kay96 · 20/11/2022 23:53

What day does the money usually go in I think my scan date was 17th August rang last week on Tuesday and the man said it would be with a dm by Friday and I should hopefully have a decision by this Friday

Eleanor55 · 20/11/2022 23:50

For both EHC plan and gave details of doctor school and paediatrician
I did give a very detailed account of difficulties day to day week to week
i’m hoping it’s enough
I’ve always sent the same every time with my son - I’m unsure why he went from HRC to MRC last time but I really do think it’s who you get looking at your application

xxAmy · 20/11/2022 23:04

@Eleanor55
What evidence have you sent off?
my youngest gets HRC & LRM, I’m about to claim for my eldest lad but as of now I only have his IEP & letter to say he’s got ALN, for my youngest we have a ton of evidence we send off so I’m unsure if it’s worth the stress of doing it for him 😭

@parsniiips they’re taking 20+ weeks for coc atm, 14 weeks for new claims and renewals they’ve been doing day before they run out.

@LucasMummy88 ive just been awarded for my daughter who turned 2 in November, we applied when was 18 months so don’t lose hope 🙏

NooriesMum · 20/11/2022 08:04

Hi, I just want to let you know my daughter was diagnosed with ASD by 2yrs and had DLA by 2.5yrs. Also had statement setup by 3 yrs, just in time for starting nursery. They ask possible renewal/reassess at age 5 as they dont assess mobility under 5. She is 7 yrs now. Hope you get good news soon x
