Omg same
I did pop a note in journal
do you know that’s more than the DLA amount as they got HRC

Amazing congratulations 🙌 that’s brilliant news about the LRM too, I’ve sent stuff in for HRM but atleast I know they will take LRM into consideration if they don’t think she qualifies for the higher rate, she will be nearly 5 by the time I get a decision

What needs to be the problem for higher rate? I’m losing hope on being approved for any DLA if I’m honest x

Mine too and ive only been waiting for April. Its extremely frustrating that they keep moving the goal posts of how long it will take too

Higher rate mobility is notoriously hard to get especially if it isnt for a physical disability. Even then its still hard to get my daighter is 3.5 and cant walk at all and she wasnt awarded. You have to have so much evidence from professionals too.

Sorry for the confusion. I didn’t mean higher rate mobility. Just higher rate care component xx

I’ve provided a lot of evidence for HRM under the smi rule, for this they need meet all the tests
1 They need to be on HRC
2 They have arrested or incomplete brain development, autism is classed as this.
3 Severe impairment of intelligence
4 Severe impairment of social functioning
5 Extreme disruptive behaviour
6 Regular restraints
7 Needs someone to be watching over them whenever they are awake.
Ive sent a 27 page statement proving each test and pointing out which part of evidence it has come from. Plus a walking diary which shows she can’t walk far before becoming dysregulated. It’s hard to get HRM under smi so I’ve put in all I can and if she doesn’t get it atleast I know they will look at LRM because she will be nearly 5.

They need to have higher needs throughout the day and night to qualify for HRC

I hope they don’t take forever to verify and backdate there have been few people on here that have been waiting and chasing for weeks!

I think you will hear back soon as that’s the same MR as we was so I think they finally getting Jan dates done x

Make sure you both write in your journal that you request for a decision maker to backdate the payment from (original scan date) as you underwent a mandatory reconsideration and it was backdated to that date. You probably already have but I know they don't always backdate if you don't clearly express it xx

Yeah I did that and both elements thank you x
I’m ready with that complaint letter not waiting forever for that too 😂

When I got awarded I done this and I got backdated within a week, I see so many stories about people waiting ages but mine was so quick I was expecting it to take weeks! Hopefully you don't have a long wait for that after waiting so long for this bloody MR 😂x

Did you have to raise the complaint to get it that quick??

Nope they were just so quick from when I wrote in the journal xx

Thank you x
🤞🏼 the wait won’t be anything like the MR was x

They need to have significant needs for almost of the day and for prolonged periods at night
