Hey guys i have been backseat watching now for 15weeks.. I got a letter today stating he has been awarded. Scan date 27/7 we are East Midlands area. The decision was made on the 8th of this month so that’s 15weeks so 14weeks 6 days. I did not get a text just 2 letters this morning saying he has qualified and another about your claim..! I don’t no if this helps anybody. Thank you all for your help and advice over the last few months got my fingers and toes crossed for you all.. I also need to add I sent 1 letter from the school and the other was a referral from the doctors. Sorry if it all sounds muddled up x

Sskanf · 13/11/2023 15:24

YorkieMummyof4 · 13/11/2023 14:58

We got rejected, I'm absolutely heartbroken, my boy can hardly walk some days, and he can't be up all night in pain. I don't know what I did wrong. There sending me a Mr form, how long do these usually take? He's due major spinal surgery in January and really hoped it could be sorted for then.

Rebeccanew · 13/11/2023 14:53

Ilovemychildren123 · 13/11/2023 14:29

@ohhollyfred I was told 28 weeks a few weeks ago but today she said they reduced to 25 weeks the week before last and now they are working at 23.5 so that’s good

So my daughter has been prescribed melatonin since I applied due to her sleep issues. Do you think it’s worth me sending in her prescription as evidence? Or will they see it as her night care needs aren’t there now she’s on melatonin? (They definitely are as she still wakes several times - it just helps her settle off to sleep) not sure what’s best to do???

A new prescription of melatonin is certainly worth sending in as that proves over night care. They won’t look at that and assume all over night care has disappeared as a lot of children still don’t sleep that much with melatonin and will still need assistance

Wildboysmum18 · 13/11/2023 12:40

Does anyone know how long uc take to backpay my once they’ve sent you a decision letter?
good luck to everyone still waiting 😄

Did you receive a letter confirming that the DM has accepted your reason for reporting the change outside of your assessment period? Or did the letter confirm the amount of the back payment? If so then it’s 3-5 working days from that letter

Rebeccanew · 13/11/2023 14:25

Ohh well done @Mommaof2babas quick turn around…mines just went to a case manger this morning I’m just confused to what the difference is in case or decisions I’ll call again in the morning see if any update hun but we’ll done on your award hun xxxxxxx

@Rebeccanew I don't know the difference but mine went to a case manager Friday morning and a decision was made by lunch time Friday, I didn't receive a text I had to phone up this morning to find out I had been awarded mrc.
My scan date is 12.07

Rebeccanew · 13/11/2023 14:15
