I think they’re still on December 😒 our SD is 30/01 so 24 weeks today . Sent extra evidence last Friday so I want it to be long enough that, that is scanned and considered but if they want to speak to the school, there’s only 2.5 days left of term! 🤞🏻they catch up soon!

Yes think I need to do the same! I have to wait for the letter for reasons yet but definitely need to calm down!

Thankyou. And good luck the lady said she’ll email to chase up and he did so maybe if it wasn’t for her I’d still be waiting maybe ask if they can chase it for you xx

hrm is extremely hard to get and ehst you've described would only be low rate mobility. Look up the hrm flow charts and see if you can professionally evidence each and every point unfortunately you do need a diagnosis under smi and im pretty sure you need one for VUW too

Wow that's crazy. Tbh I'm not expecting them to change the mobility to high but my son should qualify tbh. He currently get LRM and HRC so we will see if it changes, if not then I'm happy with the award we currently have

Thank you very much for your reply, I will have a look and document everything and send it over

Yes, I couldn’t believe my little one was only awarded LRC after an MR, main reason he didn’t get any mobility was “he likes to play football with his brother” written on one hospital letter, even though there are way more hospital letters saying he’s in pain while playing and that he wakes several times through the night in pain! I feel so annoyed and let down by the system that I’m not even going to take it further! He was only awarded for two years which after MR and everything means he will have to renew in June next year, I don’t even think I’ll bother, I feel so broken by the whole thing 😭

Ours was an MR and they couldn’t tell us over the phone, however, we received a payment. So hang in there. X

How long after your decision did you receive payment?

Its usually 3-5 days

Hi guys woken up to £1954.40 in my account this morning from Dla. SD was 3/4 so just over 15 weeks!

does anyone know what that works out as? I wonder what rate it is?

So we had two new claims declined (both children have the same medical conditions and learning difficulties, different ages). One MR we didn’t call about, just received the payment Wednesday. The second one my husband called yesterday, out of curiosity and a decision was made Tuesday, payment was in early hours of this morning. But the call handler couldn’t tell him over the phone.

When was your decision made?

Keeping fingers crossed for you and your little one.

Hi that's great news that both your MR are now sorted 😊 my decision was made yesterday so hopefully by Monday or Tuesday then if it has gone through? I think I will try and call today just to check again if someone can tell me so I'm not stressing over the weekend 😂

HRC and LRM for 14 weeks would give this exact number.

Might be to decision date rather than the day you got it giving 14 instead of 15 weeks.

I will be watching out of your posts and keeping my fingers crossed 🤞. I hope you get a nice call handler, that can at least set your mind at ease for the weekend, personally I think it’s worth a try. 🍀

Do u think.its worth ringing again sd 21/3 they received my extra papers tuesday

Hi all, been a long time lurker.
For those wondering about MR, mine was 13/01 had a phone call yesterday to go over some of the evidence I sent and was told a decision would be made later that day, or today latest. Don't have much hope seeing other people's outcome but thought for those keeping an eye on MR dates I would update, good luck everyone! Fighting for what our children deserve is hard work!!

Yes definitely ring I'm going to call today as so many are being done around my SD 4/4 plus I need to see if they received youngest sons evidence let me know how I get on x

Just called for my MR results and mobility has increased from LRM to HRM and I couldn't be any happier 😭

Just rang new.docs.of my identity was scanned 15th now just waiting

POSITIVE POST...
so I called Monday and both my kids claims were still in holding queue my eldest SD is 4/4 and youngest is 25/4
My eldest is now with a DM and should have a decision today or Monday then I asked about my youngest just because I was in the phone I thought why not and was so shocked when she said decision was made Wednesday and he was awarded HRC and I will receive back pay most likely Monday of £1800 and something I can't really remember the exact amount she said he was awarded from may and I will receive £440 on the 19th August I'm so happy for him ,but i did get his forms back before the deadline so was shocked as to why hes not been awarded from end of march when i called for the forms either way am very happy so just goto show they dont always do it in order i did say to the lady hiw come his was done first and she said its because they both went to different dm x

That’s such amazing news 🙌 what did you send in to support HRM? I’m currently doing a COC and hoping I’ve given enough evidence for Hrm

Congratulations, the £441.60 would be how much you get every 4 weeks

Thank you for this ,do you know when I should let UC know or should I wait for the letter first x
