Just had a call from DWP 5.10pm
DM asking questions for night time needs she seemed nice, I'm just hoping I said the right thing. Said I will know in writing but I'm assuming I can just call up.

I had this Friday. Still no decision and when I’ve rang today it’s been sent to another dm for a check as the decision maker was apparently a trainee who rang me Friday so the double checking there decision…. All confusing to me, hopefully we both get positive outcomes 🙏🏼x

Did she call to get her award? I hope you hear something soon make sure you keep us updated. It'll be interesting to see how long yours is

No she received a text saying they can't award at this time and to wait for the letter detailing why.

I’m MR, not sure if I’m 27/12 or 31/12 but the wait is horrific, I think it will still be another 3-4weeks yet and I’m not holding out much for a positive outcome seeing some of the ones that have been rejected 😔

MR 22.1.25 22 weeks on Wednesday

Meglee93 · 23/06/2025 19:26

Oh my goodness! I thought the initial wait was bad enough!! I'm trying to have my sons changed from middle rate care to high as I provide so much nighttime care for him as well as day time! I have sent further evidence today from the sleep clinic scheduling him an appointment and I wrote such a detailed letter I'm just hoping it's enough x

Asdmummyhere · 23/06/2025 20:17

Any early August renewals here? x

Are you MR? What initial evidence did you send if you don’t mind me asking? My son currently gets mrc, he’s 4, 5 in August. Waiting for renewal and think he should get hrc. Now has his diagnosis and on medication which only helps him to fall asleep. He’s up every night for hours and wakes his siblings x

Hey I sent a letter detailing his night time needs and what help I have already received for his sleep and I have sent the appointment letter for the sleep clinic... not sure if that's enough though! x

Garfield456 · 23/06/2025 21:40

I have a August renewal but its the end of August, so will be waiting a while yet i think.
