Omg such a relief awarded high rate care for 2 year old daughter ASD.. scan date 27/9 no evidence just 4 pages of my own explanation. And a photograph of her finger nails as she rips these off. I am so very shocked, when i took amelia to her first ever peadiatrician appointment the consultant said to me ‘when she is older we will help with a claim for DLA’ i said why when she is older why not now and she said ‘ohh theyl just decline it because of her age and we kno what to pit on the forms’ so i didnt tell her oh well by the way iv already put a claim in and now youv made me feel terrible n that we automatically gonna get declined but just goes to show dont b put off! B strong everyone xx

My just turned 3 year old rips her toe nails off too. Horrid isn't it? I'm glad you got your award. I've not applied for her yet, she's just been referred to neurodevelopmental.

Hi, just wondering what an EHCP is? I’m in wales and my son has an individual development plan and an individual education plan, are these the same thing?

Gracie1909 · 01/02/2024 14:52

Hi, I've reported a change for my daughter on UC, I've requested back pay for her disability element and also reported I care for my child now but not claiming carers allowance. And asked for backpay for care element in my journal also. Is this right? Will someone respond to my journal. Thanks in advance. X

WhereDidTheTimeGo888 · 01/02/2024 14:51

@Lisa3kids so sorry you’ve been declined. I think I’ll be the same. My child is 15 and I didn’t have a clue when I filled in the forms. I know I didn’t fill them in right. Hopefully it’ll be over turned when you do an MR. X

Debs243 · 01/02/2024 14:23

Does anyone what the number they call you off incase they need more information? Is it a private number, 08 or 03 or an actual mobile number?

Congratulations to you and for you baby too! Seeing people like you that explain what they've sent off and the fact they got accepted gives me a little hope 🥺
Best wishes for the future to you both 💕

@Sharniexxx7 hi just wondering how long did they award her for as I'm waiting for decision for my 2 year old also and have they not said when u can apply for mobility x

Theyv awarded till september 2025

Jonesy0102 · 01/02/2024 13:45

Sarahdestiny · 01/02/2024 13:42

@Jonesy0102 yh I no just didn't no if they tell you with the decision at a certain point they can get mobility as someone else on here has been awarded care but said after there birthday will gey mobility

Yes depending on the child’s age and when you’re awarded counts as I’ve read they contact you 6 months prior to age 3 or 5 for a review if they award close to the child’s birthday they award for when the child gets to that age if they’re deemed eligible

Siobhangrace · 01/02/2024 13:44

Sorry to hear! 😢 does your son have EHCP or anything? @Lisa3kids
