Fingers crossed Wednesday for u.. i don't know where I read it but I'm sure it was Wednesdays only. I may be wrong, my cousin was awarded last Saturday and got paid on the Wednesday x

Thanks everyone really losing hope atm just frustrated that they keep telling me different things I will be back on the phone tomorrow afternoon if I don’t hear anything in the morning and I will be asking to speak to someone it really isn’t fair

Thats really good to know ty, mine was scanned on 19th April and I was starting to lose hope. When your on hold to them it says payments are monthly every Wednesday. But I assumed that was just for monthly payments, please let us know what day you are paid xx

Ssabb90 · 04/07/2022 23:09

It’s not fair ata, she sounds like she really needs this especially the fact she is in hospital what more could they possibly need, I really hope you hear something tomorrow x

Leanne12321 · 05/07/2022 06:49

Mrsm1987 · 05/07/2022 11:01

Update on my sons he was awarded middle rate care low rate mobility he passed on Saturday so should recieve payment any day now I'm not sure with all my sons needs is middle rate care right?
He has learning difficulties has 1 to 1 at school balance coordination problems bowel problems since birth he's now 8 and wears nappies every night does middle rate care sound right?

Leanne12321 · 05/07/2022 11:05

You could fight the middle rate care but you risk losing it all.

Leanne12321 · 05/07/2022 11:07

My son was awarded HRC and LRM but he has dyspraxia,aspengers,hyper mobility bowel problems and is in pain constantly.He is waiting for autism assesment

Leanne12321 · 05/07/2022 11:07

Mrsm sounds like he need HRC

Mrsm1987 · 05/07/2022 11:11

I'm not sure what to do weather to fight it or not think I'll just stick with what we hv atm lady said its until 2024

Mrsm1987 · 05/07/2022 11:12

Leanne did you get your decision at the weekend?

1977s · 05/07/2022 12:04

After an 1 hour 20 minutes on hold I’ve been told yet again I should get a decision any day that DM don’t always send txt and to wait for a letter , what a bloody joke I tried to explain everything to the woman and she said to stop worrying decisions are taking longer I said what 15 weeks 😳😳😳

Shanrawlinson · 05/07/2022 12:30

Mine was scanned on the 20th of may

Mrsm1987 · 05/07/2022 12:30

Mine took almost 12 weeks 15 weeks is terrible I got no text obviously I rang today got awarded at the weekend so I'd be ringing every day to see if u have been awarded

Shanrawlinson · 05/07/2022 12:35

Should I wait a while till I call them?

Leanne12321 · 05/07/2022 12:37

I was awarded last Thursday.

1977 I don't know why they told you to wait for letter I still ain't had a letter and had payment.They stupid

1977s · 05/07/2022 12:50

I will be phoning everyday I’m fuming 😡 with them telling me different things

Leanne12321 · 05/07/2022 13:51

I would call twice a day I got told 2 weeks then the next day I was awarded.1977 its really unfair on you mine was 12 weeks

Ssabb90 · 05/07/2022 14:01

My son is similar but he is 3 and can’t walk, he can stand holding furniture for a few seconds but will fall and tbh I am expecting high rate care as it is so hard carrying him around buggies etc are not cheap! So I would definitely contest it sounds like you need high rate x
