@Matilde08 are you calling this week? Xx

Not sure yet. The case manager is back from his annual leave today.. so I kinda naively hoping they will chase Blackpool office with response in coming days. I don't think I'm mentally ready for another: "keep with us for a bit longer, but we can't really tell for how long."

Matilde08 · 28/05/2024 10:39

Good luck to everyone for this week 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻✨️💐

i printed them late January and they scanned them on the 1st of feb.

i'm thinking of calling again to find out what rate they gave my daughter as the man was quite rude on the phone

I would say either MRC + LRM or HRC works out about £2100, yes give them a call, it would be on the system by now to be able to tell you rates

Rachfrank · 28/05/2024 10:43

Original claim was last August... MR 06/03 they keep saying I should here soon and nothing anyone with this date?

thanks!

i wonder if it is MRC and LRM would i still be entitled to the severe disability element on UC for her?

Fee89 · 28/05/2024 10:46

@sayasand Its such a horrible wait. Im going to force them to stick to what the text says. Have you had text?

@Matilde08 Fingers crossed they do chase it up. They cant just keep sitting back and expecting u to wait 😡. Did you send complaint?

Kita86 · 28/05/2024 11:03

It would be £156.11 for Low and Middle care but it goes up to £416.19 for High care, you can also claim carers element which is £198.31 if your working or not. Carers allowance can be claimed too but it’s if your not working or your earning under something like £140 a week

My son is 4 and autistic, he has HRM under the virtually unable to walk criteria.

Ahh this gives me some hope! I’m happy you got what you deserved 👏🏻 Did you have to MR/Tribual this or was it first decision recieved x

My MR date is 04/03, I've not rung yet, I don't want to hear that they've discarded the claim as my daughter turned 16 last week. Last communication was a text 2 weeks ago saying it could take another 4 weeks.

If you don't mind me asking, what proof have you sent? Not what it is, just like paediatrician report etc.
Thank You

I’m so glad you said about sending in the diary, I was thinking about sending in a 7 day diary but then see on the form it said about using it as a guide to fill out the form, I’m going to write one this week with it being half term and send it in, thank you

I see, thanks – I appreciate your reply/help.

We only sent the ASC report along with the certificate of autism, the SENCO report from school, the speech and language therapist report (but that was from last year), and some reports from the school as separate evidence.

I have a feeling it is not enough as time passes
