[caitlinnjacksmummy]

Hey, just called DLA and sed a decision was made yesterday and on it's way to me, but the lady sed it was successful......!!! So happy will help my ds1 soo much, gonna spoil him, he bloody well deserves it, dunno wat rate we will have though......xxxx

Well done mummy, you are having such a tough time glad to hear something is going well!

Thanks soo much madmouse...I know, surely we now deserve some good luck.......he is gonna b spoiled!!! Little man...does anyon know how long after decision money goes into account? xxx

c&jsmummy, that's great news! We got ours a couple of weeks ago, at least now I can afford the hospital carpark on our many visits! The letter they sent was dated 8 April, the arrears they owed us was paid in on 11 April then we will get the money paid every 4 weeks, so not a long wait at all. By the time we got the letter the money was in, but maybe it depends when in the month the letter is sent iykwim.

Well done. Of course, you will prob get the letter on Saturday..... it the Rule of Davros. It should be dated from when you apply, not from when the decision is made.

Yeah thanks so much, soo happy that we have finaaly had some sort of happy news!! xxxxx

good! hope the money makes life easier for you all.

Yeah, will make life that little bit easier, obviously would like my baby t b ok, like my Dd, no amount of money could ever compensate that, as we all know only 2 well xxxxx

Congrats so pleased for you, it must be a weight off your shoulders. Enjoy spoiling him!!

Thanku fannysparkle pml at yr screen name, hilarious!!! , oh I will enjoy, first thing is new buggy t face me, as hos seizures xxxxx

congrats - hope it helps you! Yes, you get it backdated from the date you applied.

I'm glad they made a decision so quickly, you certainly deserve that cash! We're in the process of applying, my portage worker has the form to fill in one of the sections. From what you've posted, I think you should be on the higher rate.

And don't forget to let the tax credit people know, we're eligible for a higher rate from them too.

Thanku everyone....wats that bout tax credits? Wat do I do? I get £73 from tax credits at the moment....xx

Does anyone no bout th tax credits increase, wat do i do? N is it big increase or wat? Never knew nothin bout that ..........

just ring them and let them know oyu now recieve DLA and the date you get it from i think its about £10 a week extra. You can also get carers allowance BUT you have to declare all of that as a wage.

Ring and ask the tax credit people, for us it works out a fair bit more than £10 a week. It probably depends on what you get from them in the first place and then what rate of DLA you get.

Hey, I get high rate, but not called tax credits yet xx
