How long are DLA mandatory reconsiderations for SEN children taking currently?

[SurreySenMum26]

Does anyone know how long dla mandatory reconsideration is taking right now? Son has had highest rate care and mobility for over ten years and it was cut to low rate mobility in March. At what time frame do i chase? 25 weeks? Thanks

They are all taking a very long time. 22-25 weeks. I would wait until 25 weeks before chasing.

Jeez... they managed to turn the renewal round in one week to cut his levels. In the meantime I have lost his blue badge. Good job I didn't get a mobility car. This confirms all my fears about the mobility scheme.

I was told today that I'd loss the car the day I lost the award. Is that true? Makes my 12 year old car look a great alternative.

You can apply for a blue badge and be assessed separately. HRM automatically qualifies for a blue badge but you can still apply and be assessed without.

Motabilty often allow you to keep the vehicle whilst going through MR. Even when they don’t wait the whole time, it isn’t on the day.
