@rosey1993 i was the same with my son I’m currently waiting for a renewal for him he was only 9 months when I applied had no diagnoses just constantly picking up viruses and catching pneumonia all the time he was in and out requiring oxygen struggling with his breathing all the time very wheezy I only had discharge reports and x ray reports and he has only just been referred to respiratory so not much information at all and he was started on 3 inhalers it was costing so much money in and out all the time taxis food excetra I couldn’t afford it while in their so I just applied and didn’t even get anyone fill out the someone who knows the child part so I thought I was going to get declined I only wanted something to help with the cost of things and i got awarded HRC for 12 months due to needing round the clock care and supervision as his breathing can and has deteriorates at any point he now has a potential diagnoses of severe asthma I am currently waiting on the renewal which is up in march still not heard anything so I’m so worried about that even tho their is so much more evidence this time round but I’m still stressing and I’ve applied for my almost 3 year old with possible ASD and severe developmental delays were awaiting to hear about that I wouldn’t worry too much as it’s about how much you explain their care needs n supervision excetra and how it’s different to a child of the same age I would definitely MR if they decline xx

Can someone help me what do I do on uc to update my daughters dla

rosey1993 · 05/02/2024 17:41

@Emma2345 thank you!
Really worried as I haven't got much evidence daughter has bad hypermobility and docs are sure she has elhers danlos syndrome so I'm constantly worried it's gonna be a no 😭

Emma2345 · 05/02/2024 17:39

@rosey1993 also make sure your private calls are on incase they ring on a private number sometimes you won’t get notification of calls if private numbers are turned off x

Emma2345 · 05/02/2024 17:36

@rosey1993 hi I haven’t personally recieved this call but have heard about decision makers ringing to either gather more information or sometimes they call to make sure bank details are still the same with it being so long since the claim was sent off so if they do owe you any money it goes into the right account xx

rosey1993 · 05/02/2024 17:31

Rate Extra monthly amount
Lower rate £146.31 per child
Higher rate £456.89 per child

Disabled child premium rates for universal credit. Low rate is for low and middle rate care dla, higher rate is for high rate care.

Imonao · 05/02/2024 16:00

Hi still waiting to hear about decision but just wondering if I get awarded can you claim the disability element on uc no matter which rate you get from Dla or is it just if it’s high rate ?

thanks

You can claim it for either rate but for low and middle dla it's a lower rate disabled child premium than higher dla.
