@Mommy2boys30 hey hun. Really hope you get the award your boy deserves. My son is 3 on Friday- do you think it’s worth me calling and saying hold off on decision until then? Worrying now as it’s been with DM since 21/06. Now I want to get sleep diary off too!

I will still send everything of just incase it reaches in time, and if they don't put into consideration about mobility then you can always do a COC for them to consider it afterwards, I don't know if your allowed to ask them to hold back, if they know that are turning 3 (HRM) or 5 (LRM and HRM) within 4-6 months they will look at it anyway depending, hope that makes some sense

I honestly feel in shock!

Scan date was 23/04 so I was expecting to wait a while, but DS's award was due to end on 12/07. I checked my banking app earlier and could see an extra DLA payment went in, so I knew there had been an update.

I worked out that they had updated him to HRC, but I wanted to make sure and find out the dates so I just called them. Got through straight away to a nice lady who could only confirm that the decision had been made but no specifics, so she transferred me.

The man I spoke to next was also very nice, and confirmed that DS was awarded HRC from the scan date, and also LRM from his 5th birthday in October, and that his award has been set until 2031!

I honestly couldn't believe it when he told me, we've been fighting so hard to get him support so this is such a relief!

Congratulations to everyone who has received their awards already, and good luck to everyone still waiting xx

Hi, my son has been rewarded the exact same! So happy for you! What does your son have if you don't mind me asking xxx

@Accbabymom1994 Thank you ❀️

He has Autism and Learning Difficulties, and he is non verbal. He's possibly got ADHD and ARFID, but that hasn't been assessed yet due to his age- he'll be 5 in October.

@Brittany95 Thank you lovely ❀️

Sparklesunicorn · 04/07/2024 07:21

would continual supervision day and night constitute as high rate care?

Hi, my scan date is in May, so I have a while to go. But my daughter’s prescriptions have increased in that time. They do in increase or decrease care needs, more that they evidence them. Would you send this in as additional information?
