@Berosey54432 yes she isn't eligible for high rate mobility because she can walk and doesn't need it but for low rate mobility you have to be 5 to get it and she isn't 5 until June, so they said on the form they will contact me before she's 5 too apply for it

Thank you that’s helpful my daughter is 4 in June she still has her pushchair or reins if we go for a walk as she doesn’t see danger she’d run away and on to the road.

@Berosey54432 you are only a week before my scan date

Probably another 2 months for us for a decision based on the date of claims they seem to be reviewing at the moment 🙏 hopefully the outcome is a reward… the thread seems quite positive xx

I’m 15 weeks this week I’ve had no text I may call to see if it’s with a cm

Marie156 · 25/02/2024 16:06

@Berosey54432 no problem. My daughter is the same, she will try run away into the roads or go up to strangers and even refuse to walk most of the time. I do believe she would be eligible for low rate mobility so hopefully when she turns 5 in June she will be able to have it. So far we've just got high rate care which I'm really happy with anyway

Thank you for this yes mine hugs strangers and doesn’t understand personal space. The paediatrician saw her hug the student who was in clinic whom she’d never met before.

Hey yes I've updated UC on Friday when I received the award letter. The carers element has been verified, request for backdate has been sent to dm. I have to wait for the disabled element to be verified now before that gets sent to dm for backdate. Good luck hopefully it gets done fast

Mariehanna · 25/02/2024 17:15

@Marie156 back in January for my other daughter uc was all sorted and back payment all done within a week it was so fast! Mine was verified too waiting on back payment confirmation so hopefully this week for us 🤞🤞

That's alright. I am from Croydon in London. I had 2 letters but no text. Just woke up and saw backpay last Wednesday. I called and asked the rate. The letter came on Saturday dated 16/02.
