Only sent off asd diagnosis and appointment letter and filled out the form pages no extra. Hope it helps someone who’s waiting keep positive x

@Brummumofm congratulations thats great hopefully not two long to wait for me either then im same scan date as you x

Congratulations @Brummumofm, and keeping fingers crossed for you @mammaov3 it's a good sign for when you call. Xx

Had letter yesterday, 2 weeks before Ds's DLA ran out despite submitting end of August

I sent mandatory reconsideration last week anyone know how long they take? Or if you get much success

@Shellbel10 I rang up to do MR yesterday and she said should know in 4 weeks

Scanned 27th sep, I rung them today, 45 mins wait to find out it’s not yet with dm and actual waiting time is 13-15 weeks🙈

Hi. Ive been following this post like a stalker but never commented lol. I just wanted to update people on my renewal. I sent my sons renewal off on the 20th of sept, I'm not sure on my scan date. But I've just had my letter through today that my son who is 5 in January has been successful and will not have to reapply for 7 years. Before I reapplied we was getting the middle rate care allowance, this time we still have the middle rate care allowance but also the lower rate mobility, I never knew we could claim that before as I thought you needed to be unable to walk, but as my son has no sense of danger, awareness to his surroundings and is still the majority of the time in a pram when out and about we are entitled to it. The extra evidence i sent in was a follow up appointment letter from the child development centre, specialist inclusion team report from the educational health care panel and his autism diagnosis report. I also filled out an extra page explaining how my son is and also got his SEND worker from his previous setting to fill in the part where it asks someone else to fill it in. Since I filled in the form and sent it off he's also been issued an EHCP but I didn't send this in as the draft plan was only issued last week. The best of luck for all those waiting for their decision. I know it's super stressful but hopefully you will here soon. Fingers crossed.

Im currently on hold with them i feel sick to stomach i feel like they are going to say application as been denied or tell me its not with DM yet 😔🤔

@mammaov3 Fingers crossed you get the answers you need xx

Good luck!!

Hi everyone, I have been following this post since I sent my daughters form off, scan date 22nd September, received a call today off a lovely lady, asked a few questions and said she was awarding hrc and lrm, hope this helps anyone waiting around these dates.

Good luck @mammaov3

On hold again...

Scan date 7th September 2022. Has been with a DM since 9th December 2022. I rang on Monday and was told that an NI number had been generated which was an indicator that award was likely to be made.

Good luck @BlueBellIris

Good luck everyone scan date 26th September still not with DM trying to hold off till Friday to ring

Hi just got off the phone they seid my son jas been awarded middle rate care witch is what we wanted 😁 but im confused because the back pay she seid i would be getting works out like he has been awarded low rate mobility two but she didn't mention mobility and he has only been awarded until 2024 anyone else only been awarded for a year?? my son is 4 next month

@mammaov3 thats brilliant news well done I called yesterday and mine was still with a decision maker 😫 not going to call again now it’s stressing me out to much

@mammaov3 do you think you may get LRC when they turn 5? That could be the explanation why you only have till they are 5.

Just off the phone have been awarded Low Rate Mobility and Middle Rate Care, which I was hoping for.

It's only till September 2024. His prognosis is a bit uncertain at the moment, so I I am not surprised we've only got for a year. Looking forward to redoing the process again in 6 months time....

@mammaov3 I meant low rate mobility.

im not sure i have seen people get awarded the LRM before age 5 im just confused to why it has only been awarded a year when his illness is for life but im not going to spund ungrateful becouse im not im happy he is finally getting what he deserves good luck everyone else waiting im crossing everything for you , also should i wait to tell UC until i receive letter just incase he has been awarded lrm and i just don't no yet?

Well done! So happy for you yeah you’d have to apply for mobility once he’s 5, my daughter turned 4 this month I’m still waiting on decision senco filled out the form, sent sen plan, letter from HV I’m hoping for good news

@mammaov3 you can't get higher rate mobility till age 3 and lower rate mobility till age 5.
