Ds has received DLA for 2 years so far ... mrc lrm.
His renewal has just come back mrc ... no mobility. He was refused on the grounds of any refusal to walk is his own conscious decision rather than from a physical condition leading to paralysis. He is intelligent, likes trampolining and riding his bike when available. At age 11 he would not be expected to have full road safety awareness or be able to find his way in unfamiliar places. It is accepted he has perception difficulties but with normal intelligence his guidance and supervision he needs outdoors is within normal range. He may prefer to have reassurance outdoors but this is not a need for guidance or supervision.
Any advice on how to word my response for reconsideration?
He has hypermobility which causes pain in ankles, knees, leg muscles, sometimes hips. His ankles give way A LOT and cause pain, trips, falls. He has SPD which affects his processing of speed, distance of traffic. He also has vision processing blindness which affects his ability to see faces, cars, objects etc. He has to scan areas individually to build up a picture of things.
Trying to be brief, will add more if necessary.
