They should 100% have soms sort of online portal where you can track progress. It would free up the lines for people needing to do anything other than check progress and would save everyone the headache of wondering and painstakingly waiting. Surely ir wouldnt be that hard to implament

MR received on the 28/02 which was 22 weeks ago.

Woke up today to backpay in my account and figured that my 3 year old’s claim was changed from MRC to HRC. Called up and spoke with a nice guy who confirmed this for me. I’ll wait for the letter to arrive to inform UC.

Good luck to all those that are waiting❤️

May I ask what extra evidence you sent in? Xx

My son had his usual Paediatrician and Neurologist appointment within two weeks of receiving the decision for his renewal so I sent those reports along with the MR.

I also used this template from Mencap (linked below) to go into detail and reference why my son qualified for HRC based on the evidence that I had already sent them. Good luck!
