Yes 😂 I’m so impatient lol. X

I wanted to as well but I didn’t as I’m scared they’ll be horrible to me 🤣

Anyone know what date they are on for COC. I’m 24+1 so hoping not much longer

I’m not sure there is many coc on this thread at the moment, I’m coc but I’ve got a long wait, I’m only 14 weeks

My little girl has been awarded MIDDLE RATE CARE

I AM SO HAPPY HOORAYYY

Judgejudysno1fan · 16/07/2025 00:32

The backdated payment came through just after midnight. Pleased is an understatement. Thank you God.

This will be going towards her shoes, her travel, her holidays her days out and so much more.
Scan date 01/04
I called the forms mid Feb after her surgery and diagnosis. This little girl has been through so much I'm so happy.

MR 25 weeks and 5 days.

NC July last year, total decline.

Just received the back pay (£5304), so I think it looks like they have awarded middle rate care and lower rate mobility potentially.

Over the moon, as now we can get him the extra help he needs.

We did send in extra documents, as at the time of the original claim we didn’t have it or were waiting for it, which we explained. Documents included proof of hospital referral letters and the EP report, which I highlighted for the DM with relevant parts, including the Echp suggestions etc and resubmitted the speech and language report, again highlighted.

Hopefully all of you will get the news you are hoping for, if you don’t, keep fighting!!!

Char4000 · 16/07/2025 06:12

Congratulations!!! I’m glad your little one gets what she deserves xx

Thank you. No, we had no phone calls from them and school haven’t mentioned that they’ve called them either.

I hope you won’t have to wait too long. X
