Is the form for mobility a different form 🤔 I've got hrc but wasn't aware he will be entitled to mobility part.. he's up for renewal September he will be 6, sorry if I sound a bit thick I didn't even no about dla till 2 year ago when I was told to apply by his teacher, but reading all these posts past few weeks it seems he will also qualifie for it 🫣

No it's all the same form.

There will be a section on mobility needs, so just answer the questions accordingly and they will add mobility to your claim if necessary 😊

I am hoping to hear soon 🙏
Our scan date was in February, sent birth certificate which was received. Had another letter on the 27 February and a text on the 31st May! It's been a long wait...

Surely they have made a decision now after texting 31/5. The post above this was text the same date too and now been paid. Maybe check your bank to see if payment has gone in before your award letter? X

Carly1931 · 11/06/2024 10:25

Another day another phone call…. More helpful person today. His exact word “oh that should have been done by now” should be by end of week. If not to ring back Friday and I will email the DM.

I have seen this happen a few times. I think particularly now, with the government changing / looking at the whole benefit system, they are reviewing older claims that are on HRC / HRM to reassess. It must be such a shock for people

Jraven94 · 11/06/2024 10:49

So I called Dla and it said my decision was made two days ago and to be put through to hear what I've been awarded. AND THEN THE PHONE CUT OUT!!! does this mean I've been awarded? Still no payment yet. I'm trying to call back but in a long queue

TwinMom25 · 11/06/2024 11:35

I have same scan date 27th Feb I’ve just called they said it should be going to the decision marker by the end of the week.

I think it will be a few weeks yet for my sons it all depends on how many cases are in the decision makers desk.

Hi guys I am new here
