MR 31/12, I’m annoyed that my son was refused in the first place as I’ve just found this on google. My son has a life long disease, he is riddled with tumours and has them in almost every bone is his body, this causes lots of problems for him but they need to keep an eye on his tumours as there’s a high chance of some of them turning sinister so wouldn’t he automatically qualify if going off what this says?! He has already had some tumours removed but not because they were sinister but because they were causing bone deformities and weakness

Terribletwoss · 16/06/2025 15:45

New claim 26/02

Phoned on Friday and was told with decision maker.

Phoned today and evidence I sent in early may still isn’t scanned on so is apparently lost.. and apparently it’s NOT with a decision maker.

I despair 😩

Gemini000 · 16/06/2025 15:48

Thanks all.. call handlers say differently things don't they.. bu couple have said thr same to me.. so hopefully the truth lol x

BBLDRIZZY · 16/06/2025 15:57

Hi everyone,

just thought I’d give an update. Renewal was due 22/06 called today for an update and my DD has been awarded again however she’s gone from LRC and LRM to just LRC.

I sent in so much evidence and detailed answers.

DD has a diagnosis of cerebral palsy amongst many other issues that affects her daily life.

just waiting for the letter and I’m going to do an MR.

just feel so defeated 🤦🏻‍♀️

Think it’s a decline decision was made today but they said they can’t tell me. Asked to be put through to disputes am they haven’t picked up. Advisor keeps telling me can only hold for 2 mins. Trying option 4 now. He said wait for letter in the post! I said the least you guys could do is let me know after waiting 28 weeks! Calling back for the 4th time today!!

like your son, my child also has a lifelong disease that effects her everyday. I have sent in more evidence again with the birth certificate, they requested the birth certificate and I thought I might as well cram more stuff in the envelope. its bloody horrendous your son has been declined.

my dc is the same height as her younger sibling, weighs less than children her age group, bleeds a lot from you know where, is weak and tired and collapses on the sofa/bed/floor from the exhaustion of the pain. We cant go anywhere incase the stomach aches and poo/diarrhoea/mucus explosions start, the meds have started having more control but shes infant school age and unfortunately still in nappies and frequently in a nappy as walking for more than 15/20 minutes can tire her out. shes going through so much clothes and bedding, a lot has to be thrown out as thats damaged it cant be put in the wash, so dla will help with this, plus assist with getting a better pushchair and buying nappies in bulk and so much more, my dream is to have the bowel under control so we can do more things, she talks about wanting to go soft play and beach, bless her. She cant even attend school as I dont want to put too much pressure on them, and her in pain crumpled in the corner and them having to change bloody and pooey nappies several times a day, Its been a real fight to get this diagnosis, this is the last hurdle.

i hope your MR gets through and you get what your son deserves, let me know how you get on, please. Sending you so much love.

and to everyone else, I am always reading and sending love and best wishes with positive outcomes for all
