Finally received a payment into my account, very pleased. But I'm not sure what rate DS has qualified for. Is anyone able to help me with the maths please as I've tried lots of combinations and cannot work it out. Received £1174.10 today (25th). Scan date was February 17th. Thanks very much.

@Mildred88 They backdate the payment to the date you started your application if online or the date you requested an application if you requested by phone. So you should get 30 weeks worth of payments. Does the letter state High middle or low care rate? Also does the letter state high/low mobility?
This indicates what the weekly amount award is, you can find those rates on dwp websites I think they are roughly high £108 mid £72 low £24
Mobility is high £75 low £25

Thank you for getting back to me. The letter doesn’t state anything other than he’s been awarded and I am the responsible person for his claim. I have tried to call but their system is down.

That just the most frustrating thing. My friend got a similar award letter from her last appeal stage and the rate was buried in there abbreviated which I thought was strange but this is just silly really. Presumably payment needs calculated but they can still provide the rate awarded. 🙄
Hopefully you will be able to get through on the phones ASAP. Or some money will appear in your bank and you'll get an idea!! At least the "worst" of the paperwork is over!!
