Brilliant news! Hopefully I get decision next week xx

@Mumoftwinsplusone1 really happy for you!!!
@Lynseyxx my scan date was 28th July! Yeah they do note down when you ring I think xx

That's fantastic news. You don't realise how much you've been coping with and holding onto until that bit of help finally comes through.

Also, they told me on the phone that I have used a renewal form. I downloaded the form from the .gov website and filled it in on my computer, then printed it. I’ve just been on and double checked and I’m certain it isn’t a renewal form. From what I can see, you can’t even download a renewal form online. This is driving me mad.

UPDATE!! So just been on the phone to them and a decision has been made he’s been awarded HRC!! No mobility as he’s too young but high rate care! I’ve cried I’m shaking it’s finally over and he’s getting what he’s entitled to!xx

Yay so good seeing these awards xx

@Mumto4and5 its a positive isn’t it after seeing so many declines! Good luck for you I hope it’s not too much longer xx

I will keep checking back but I suspect we will all meet again come renewal time…🙈 good luck everyone x

I’m so eager to ring but only rang yesterday and it wasn’t with anyone , so probably stress myself out more ringing back lol how long did you both get awarded for? Xx

@Mumoftwinsplusone1 i will deffo keep checking back and always here to listen to any of your rants ect!!xx

Awarded for 2 years so best prepare for renewal now…

Award expiring in December 2026 I’ve sent in my renewal and I’m still waiting to hear back

Heya do you always get a text to say a decision has been made?!

@abcflower my decision was made yesterday I was down to recieve a text but so far I’ve not received one I only new as I rang up xx

@Md234did they tell you the decision over the phone?

Congratulations to all the positive awards, it’s lovely seeing the little ones getting the recognition of support needed

I’ve spoken to someone and it’s with a decision maker sl just a cause of waiting now arghh lol I’m down for a text , whether I get one or not is a different matter though xx

Got my fingers crossed for you

My sons award ends on Wednesday and I still haven’t heard if the renewal has been accepted. But I’ve just received a letter -“Review of appointment to act for Disability Living Allowance” it basically says all my responsibilities as an appointed person and a form to sign at the back and post back. Has anyone else had this with a renewal? Is it a good sign he’s been going to be given a renewal?

@UmElise yeh she told me over the phone went through the award itself the rate and the back pay I will be receiving for him! She was so helpful! @Mumto4and5 hopefully not long to wait I got told mine was with a decision maker yesterday and when I rang she said he was actually awarded yesterday afternoon!!xx

SD 28th July. Just called up and told it hasn't been registered yet. Anybody else had this? I got a letter dated 6th August saying it had been received and a text with my scan date

That’s exactly the same timeline as me. I think the words they use confuse things even more. If you got the letter on the 6th that’s usually confirmation it’s registered I think. So that’s odd xx

Mine was registered on the 6th, also received the 6th I’ve rang today and asked. Some take longer to scan onto system x

Ooohh that fills me with hope.. lol did it only go to the decision maker yesterday or been with one for a while do you know? Xx

My award expired 03/10 sent the renewals form back in July have heard nothing since. I never received a form
