Hi, new to posting so sorry if has been answered. I have just found out that my 5yr old son has been awarded High rate care dla and low rate mobility dla. We have been told because in their opinion he can walk 50 metres then he isn’t entitled to high rate however it isn’t consistent that he can walk this distance due to refusal episodes. School do not see this because of the strict routine. Is there any way we can show what we are saying ,it is not consistent state of inability. We did say all this on the form . Is it worth appealing or not. Thanks for your help

To get high rate mobility it would either come under the SMI route or VUW I'm sorry I can't link but there are flow charts for both criteria ,and you would have to meet each point on the flow chart .

The SMI and VUW criteria flowcharts x2boys mentioned are in this document. Also look at Contact’s leaflet.

Be aware if you appeal the award can decrease as well as increase.
