NC - new claims
MR - mandatory reconsideration
SD - scan date se

Maybe MRC n LRM x congrats also

sd 7/8 - rang this morning and my son has been awarded middle rate care and lower rate mobility for two years, honestly I could cry!

Congratulations! Xx

Congratulations.. I’m calling again now I don’t know what to say as only called Monday but I’m SD 10-8 xx

Spoke to a lovely man and said my claim has been sent to a decision maker today so hopefully will hear something soon! X

Scan date 19/08 decision made yesterday got through to a lovely person who told me my son aged 6 had been denied due to no diagnosis so I’ve done an MR over phone and stated that dla is not about diagnosis and it goes on care needs which my son needs a significant level of care and supervision and that they didn’t read through the evidence properly as I send physio therapy letters. Paediatrics letters, orthotics, proof of nurturing course completion certificate and sleep course certificate.

good luck everyone

Awww I’m sure you shall get some good news with this MR x

This is shocking if you sent all that in, and as you say it's not about diagnosis. I'm worried now!

OH WOW!! Our claim form is finally with a Decision Maker. Scan date 10th August. I could cry. Obviously no outcome yet, but at least it’s finally with someone.

So update on my scan date 5/8
the decision maker has contacted my sons school, claim is on hold until they’ve spoken…and it’s blooming half term!!! Just my luck! 🤪

Hope fully🙏🏼 x

Exactly! I stated on the MR that the decision maker clearly didn’t look at the forms or evidence properly and that they just saw no diagnosis. My opinion it’s been rushed but there’s been a lot of claims denied yet solid evidence to back it up. Hopefully mr has a good outcome with someone else looking at it🙏🏼 x

fingers crossed for you that you get a DM who looks at all the information properly!
