@Jonesy0102 yes it's good he's got an award but I will fight for what he should get as I also have another son adhd/autism and he gets a higher rate and is the same as my boy who's just got middle also it isn't just the rate its the length of time he's been awarded thanks

Some people don’t fight on I hope you get what your son serves 👍thanks for updating the thread

4/10 just looked at bank and been awarded by looks of it Middle rate care
23 weeks worth
But not happy with the decision so looks like it's appeal time for me so another wait ahead deflated

Congrats Some of an award is better than a decline surely and if you appeal it will be easier to get what you think you should get from the award you habe now than no award at all

GirlMamasClub · 06/02/2024 14:26

I was told yesterday my decision was made Friday 2nd feb and was awarded. Also told money would eve there today and it’s not. Hoping tomorrow or Thursday, anyone else in a similar position?

Sarahdestiny · 06/02/2024 14:01

Scan date 25/10.

Just called to request forms for my other child too as I am having to do more healthcare things for them currently which means I'll have a lot of the information needed to hand.

Hoping they continue working through October quickly and we get our answer soon. Waiting is painful.

@jess12345678 As you are happy with the rates and have a copy of all the paperwork from the original form I wouldn’t do an MR. It will be much easier to print it off and send it when the renewal comes. Chances are you may have more evidence and get a longer award xx

@jess12345678 i agree with this

jess12345678 · 06/02/2024 13:13

Hi all my son got awarded for 1 year, only till Marc or Feb next year, would you appeal or just leave as he isn’t diagnosed as of yet?? A mom needs help x
