So: Autumn 2005 - apply (no dx at all) - awarded middle rate care.
Summer 2006 - J turns 5 (+ ADHD dx)- awarded middle rate care and low rate mobility
October 2007 - renewal (now has ASD dx too) - awarded middle care and low mobility again
November 2007 - ask for reconsideration as SW says J qualifies for high care and high mobility
November 2007/ December 2007 - WHOLE award taken off us as 'he has no learning disability'!
December 2007 - I appeal
January 2008 - it's looked at again during appeal process and put back to middle rate care and low rate mobility
February 2008 - I appeal again - back to where we were in November!
March 2008 (today) - I ring to ask how the appeal is progressing and am told that he's been put up to high rate care and kept at low rate mobility - hadn't I received a letter? NO I HADN'T!
So, 9 months later, I will now have to appeal AGAIN to get the high rate mobility - he meets all the criteria, but in this ridiculous lottery farce, he may well get it all taken off him again! AAAAAARGGGGGHHHH!
Where is the consistency?
