Thank you. I see some people saying months and some people few days to a couple of weeks x

Thank you , what does GDPR stand for ? X

Found what it means . Would this apply to hand written evidence from myself with his name dob and DLA reference number on ?

Hi, can I just check that in the attached letter, 03/02 is my scan date? It's for an MR. Just trying to work out how many weeks I'm at. Is it 26weeks we are supposed to wait until we start pestering them? Thanks :)

Hi. My scan date for MR was 20 Jan. So im just over 25 weeks now. Anyone else with similar dates. I spoke to them a few days ago and they told me not to call back and someone will eventually get back ti me with the decision 😑

Yes it does. Dla reference number is the childs national insurance number that plus name and d.o.b. his identity could be stolen

Thank you so much for this I will call them first thing on Monday x

Same scan date as me mines also with DM x

Has anyone managed to get awarded hrm from physical needs ? My son is ASD ADHD and has a congenital heart condition , but he also has a rare hip condition to which is having surgery next month for , we have always had hrc and lrm but his hip issues have progressed and with up coming surgery we are hoping he qualifies for the hrm I just don't know if I've said enough in our renewal it's hard to know wether you e explained enough, we have a week till renewal so anything wouldn't get on the system in time the only thing I haven't been explicitly on is the exact distance he can travel before bad pain I've explained he's always in pain but it gets worse on exercise that he can walk a short distance but long distance needs a pushchair but I'm worried I should of been precise on meters he can walk

Mines scan date is 21/3 with dm

Hi my SD 22/1 for MR it was 25 weeks on Wednesday was told the same don’t call we will be in touch with a decision but I will be calling again when it’s 26 weeks if Iv not heard anything

Hi, I rang for forms on the 25th Feb, scan date 4th April and I have just noticed that £2154.60 is waiting to hit my account on Tuesday. No idea what we have been awarded I am just mega chuffed she has been awarded something as it will make a big difference.

Congratulations it looks like MRC and LRM or HRC

Thank you, just pleased that our struggles now feel validated, which is silly really.

Aw that’s good! Hopefully get an answer soon!

That's a long time isn't it have you called recently for an update x

Yes I even had to.send.copy of my passport and tenancy agreement

Omg that's a joke how much you've had to send in I hope you here this week coming 🙏

Literally considering i phones they said it was with dm.but the letter they came was dated 4th July for more info had to send my sons passport a bill also she could of told me on phone they needed more info not really holding my breath tbh

Yes im going to call back On Monday. Hopefully we hear back soon. I'm so anxious about the whole thing. Did you send in any extra info with the MR?

Hi yeah I sent a finalised EHCP night time diary a GP summery, letter from Peads and a IEP from nursery
I just hope it’s enough to get the decision changed! I’m the same really worried it may not be enough but just want to know either way now the waiting is so hard
Let me know how you get on when u call tomorrow x
Good luck xx

It took a week for UC to verify my 3 children although I only made the change for one, heard nothing at all since though 🤷🏻‍♀️

When everyone keeps saying the benefits cap will be lifted for UC what do they mean? Does it mean for a month where they were awarded £0 or does it mean if you have 3 kids but have only been getting UC for 2 because of the child cap?

Sorry I know that didn’t make much sense but hopefully one of you clever lot can understand what I’m trying to ask 😂

Yes so if you have more than 2 kids on a UC claim you would only get payed for 2 but if there's a qualifying disability element then the benefit cap would be lifted and you start to get payed for all 3 if that makes sense x
