🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Just got through, eldest son awarded on Friday, medium rate care, lower rate mobility, lump sum back payment should come on Wednesday, plus it’s valid til day before his 17th bday in 2026. First regular payment of £380 will arrive 24/10 then every 4 weeks. Whoo hoo I’m made up both boys got what they deserved. Good luck to everyone that is still waiting ❤️ for reference my scan date was 25/05

Royal mail tracking xx

Just an update as I their website couldnt find my tracking number (extra evidence sent on Saturday). I just went via a parcel tracking website and I'm so relieved, royal mail scared me with being unable to find it!

I was tempted to call today but we’re off to collect my sons new wheelchair so not dampen the spirits today maybe tomorrow 🤣🤣 xx

@Mumof5xo aww happy birthday to your son 🥳 it’s my little ones birthday today too, I’m just trying to hold off calling in case it’s a no it’ll ruin the day for me but it’s so hard trying not to ring, let me know if you hear, I’m 23rd may scan date x

Mines 20weeks on Thursday and has been with DM for 2 weeks, rang last week and told they would chase it, but when I called back on Friday it hasn’t been done so she was going to do it. I have to ring back Friday to see if there’s any update! It’s so long!

@Celestiaxo did you ring today? Maybe they have decided 🤞 good luck
@Mumof5xo @Loup19863 happy birthday to your kiddos 🥳

@Chels2020 happy new wheels day to your kiddo also 🥳

@Mumofkidsx3 thank you 🥰ok I’ve given in and I’m now on hold 🫣😄I can see the day being ruined but I just want to know either way now. Knowing my luck it’ll be a straight decline or still with the DM 🤦🏻‍♀️ x

Thankyou! It’s our first one he’s just gone 3 in august trying not to get emotional it’s going to make a huge difference to him outside he has to sit in a pram he has no legs to walk so this is a massive day for us all he uses a squiggle seat inside and bum shuffles his way around :) he’s waiting on coc 24/03 for mobility always got middle rate care since birth x

I've just got through bit of a happy and not happy moment my 5 year as been accepted for mrc no mobility but my 3 year old has been declined in my opion I think its age because my 3 year is so much more worse them my 5 year old payment will be on Wednesday Thursday scan date 25th May x

@Loup19863 im sure it won’t be ruined, stay positive, could be accepted, more information or still waiting. Sending Positive vibes 🥰

@Chels2020 amazing day for your little one bless him 🩵 can imagine it’s emotional for you all 🥹 x

@Mumof5xo aww congrats on the 5 year olds decision 🥳 and yeah it’s probably due to age with the 3 year old as it’s super difficult to get the ASD diagnosis before school age 😏 I’m sure in future the little one will get it though 🥰

@Chels2020 aww , wow it sounds like it’s going to make such a huge difference for him sending hugs 🤗

@Mumofkidsx3 il let you know and thank you, I know I sound so negative but I’ve been fighting for help for him since he was 2 and we’ve been failed by everyone then covid kicked in and he got pushed back even more so I find it so hard to remain positive, I’m emotionally and physically drained with the whole thing, I just want the help for my boy so much x

Awww bless him I can imagine how much he's new set of wheels will make a different

Let me know xxx

@Mumof5xo great news for your oldest one x are you going to appeal for your 3yr old? Hope you’re ok x
