Congratulations 💕 well deserved. I’ve been watching the last thread and you have been so so supportive of everyone, despite the difficult time you’re obviously having too. Pleased for you xx

So happy for people getting their awards, must be such a relief! Nice to see some coming in especially after a quiet few days💗

No update for me though, got through to someone else who said that it should be 15 weeks, i said i am 15 weeks so was wondering where it was up to. She said that it hadnt even been looked at yet and gave me the usual "oh phone back in 2 weeks"... so the wait continues...

Sooo they said. In a couple of days it should have a decision it’s just waiting for a CM! So fingers crossed

I really do think it just depends which pile your form lands on. Some DM’s seem quicker than others. The dates can vary so much. The wait is hard though isn’t it- especially towards the end. I second guess myself all the time with it.. thinking have I said enough/done enough etc!

Thank you everyone. She got middle rate to 2031. Im not doing mr as im exhausted. This will help her so much 🥰.
Scan date 30/01. She has uncontrolled type 1 diabetes, awaiting adhd & asd but as that is newly done i didnt have much evidence on that. I am up all night with her but hey ho. Also she is 10 years old xx

My daughter’s been AWARDED!!!!!!

Decision made on April 26th, scan date December 19th but they’re back paying to December 4th. The woman was lovely, she’s called Denise and I cried on the phone with her!

I wish I could meet you all now for a coffee and hug because this is such a lonely journey. I’ve no family and her dad says she’s naughty (he’s abusive), so it’s just the two of us and I was ready for MR. Gosh, cup of coffee would be nice but I’ve no milk and can’t leave as she’s home from school!

Fi - thank you so much for all the support you give us here xxxx congrats and good luck everyone

You are allowed to feel frustrated. You are human. I was getting so angry when i saw march dates be awarded due to them being fast tracked. You feel alot of mixed emotions as you are happy other children are being awarded but angry your child hasnt been yet xx

Hey just to let you no my friends daughter has the same and they would only give her middle rate care until she got the pump, if your daughter gets a pump in the future do a Coc xx

Fee89 · 29/04/2024 10:11

Matilde08 · 29/04/2024 10:11

I have started to giving up on mine at all 🤦🏻‍♀️ I know it's a bit different case for me, but this waiting makes me pessimistic.

Good luck to everyone for this week!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

It does as it’s a machine that needs 24 hours care to run do a mr and get it added on she will get high rate with it xx

Justkeepsplashing · 29/04/2024 10:17

If my daughter was awarded Lower Care Rate and no Mobility - do I still need to inform UC, please? Is there something I should be doing now? Thank you
