@Jonesy0102

my scan date was 2/10 and I was awarded 1/2 im going to apeal it as my son has problems with his eyesight and has special shoes by nhs also doesn’t know danger but is it normal to only be awarded until 2025 or will this be because he will be 5

From age three he can get HRM aid he isn’t three yet that can explain why they’d give different lengths of awards I’ve noticed but definitely appeal

@Livd99 how old is your little one my boy was awarded hrc no mobility at 3 I've heard it's really hard to get mobility before the age of 5 x

I applied when my dc was 3. I was turned down for mobility, but got it on appeal.

Gracie1909 · 05/02/2024 09:35

@Bell27x okay thanks, great news 🙌 I was awarded 31st too x

Amycroft · 05/02/2024 09:36

Just rang uc they said it had to go to a DM and they will decide if about back payment then will go to the case manager and I'll be told! I guess it's the same sort of process but other people have been told within 2 days and told they are getting payment the week after it's all so confusing!!

Gracie1909 · 05/02/2024 09:37

@Amycroft I've added another note to UC this morning asking have I done the change correctly and can they please send this to a DM to be looked at. So hopefully that will prompt them . Fingers crossed for you too x

Try calling from a withheld number (put 141 in front of the number) x

Thank you very much Mrssnee16. My child is due to turn 3 soon and I feel they will be on case well before the DLA is back. Do you know if there is anything I can do in the meantime regarding the work related activities. Even a meeting would be very hard to attend, my sons sensory processing difficulties mean even a phone call can trigger him at the moment let alone dragging him into the environment of a job centre.

As he is still 2 your work related commitments will still be zero, apart from the odd meeting with job coach. When is he 3? When my son turned 3 last September, my work coach altered my commitments as I had sent off his dla forms. I would get in touch with your job coach asap and let them know you're waiting for a dla claim to be sorted and they may suspend any commitments after your son turns 3 if you haven't heard from dla by then

jess12345678 · 05/02/2024 10:17

Good luck let us know how you do. Xx

Summerrp · 05/02/2024 10:35

He will be 3 at the end of this month, I left a note in my journal regarding my change of circumstances regarding work. I will leave another regarding the DLA forms. Thank you for the advice 🙏
