Originally nothing he was denied anything to begin with then went through the MR and it was over turned he was awarded HRC no mobility because he's only 3 so I didn't dispute that they back dated from the start of my claim aswell x

@Mumof5xo YES! Well done!! So glad you did the MR that’s amazing to hear and gives others hope x

Yes it definitely does I think from going from nothing to high just proves sometimes they are wrong I didn't send much more evidence in either just another statement from his nursery and why I disagreed to the first decision maker so I would say its gone alot smoother then I thought it would x
