letter 11 march 2024 taking 15 weeks to look in to it

16 week’s decision made letter sent out 7 may 2024

14 may called again they told me over the phone that they refused… but still waiting letter

Hi keep fighting sometimes it’s just worded wrong did you make sure you detailed care needs rather than diagnoses? it’s stupid I know but it’s based on care you have to detail everything you do

Starlight0212 · 14/05/2024 14:22

I can’t remember but Iv just been told I should have photo the paper work even tho I got my daughter support worker to fill in there part my mum said there cracking down on it but I’m going to keep fighting but still no letter yet so I can’t do Mr till that comes 😁

Kmcx93 · 14/05/2024 14:53

You can do a MR over the phone. As you may miss the deadline if wait for letter. Call them back and say you don’t agree and want it to go for MR. Truly terrible they have declined your daughter, I’m so sorry to hear of her struggles!

If they do refuse we just need to apply for MR.
They are unbelievable, like they pay a lot...

I just called them to check if they got my forms I sent two weeks ago and they said they went on the system 2 days ago.

Does that make my scan date 13th May?

My scan date was 15/4/24 and still haven’t received a letter of confirmation. I had to call and ask if they had been received.

Starlight0212 · 15/05/2024 18:21

Hi Iv done Mr today said 8 weeks I forgot as a mother I care for my daughter anyway so I didn’t think I had to say what care she need lol as it my day to day life with her so please don’t make mistakes like me make sure you put more care down lol plus if anyone got copy of there get to know me from school make sure that goes in as well as it don’t matter how much proof you got from medical team it’s down to how much care then normal child needs like me send all proof but didn’t explain care as I do that everyday best of luck everyone

Scan date 26th jan…..I went from calling Monday being told the case wasn’t even with a case manager to having a payment this morning. Such a relief! - I have no idea what they’ve allocated as the amounts changed April. But I believe it’s middle rate.

Wishing you all the best with yours, hopefully it doesn’t take too long

ADT13 · 16/05/2024 10:44

I received the same scan today, SCAN Date 12/02/2024.
I think this text messages are automatically sent, furthermore in the thred43 people reporting that even after a week they got the text nothing happened.
Good Luck!!

MumsNel5 · 20/05/2024 14:41

@ObsidianKnight69 think I will just wait it out I’m not too hopeful now as she’s just had her appointment with her consultants so I don’t think she will get anything now but good news she’s improving so that’s the most important thing 🙏
