I’m taking it to tribunal 100 percent once I’ve calmed down. He as recieved higher rate care and lower rate mobility his whole life. He will never be able to dress himself or go to the toliet alone, can’t and will never be able to wipe himself. His arms are half the size of normal arms. His got a stoma, the bottom of his spine missing. His had 13 operations. His care needs are so high I have and will always have to do everything for him. Lower rate care is an absolute insult. I’ve sent so much evidence, he can’t walk up stairs he as to use a lift pass at school. It’s ridiculous they obviously don’t read the supporting evidence. @DD12DD i hope everyone else as the outcomes they deserve. Good luck everyone xxxx

Hey hun I’m gutted for you I really pray you get the outcome your LO deserves I honestly think some of these DMs don’t read all the evidence or rush through it!
Did you get a text to inform you of decision or did you call x

That is absolutely horrendous that you have to go to tribunal for such an obvious need for high rate care and mobility! I hope you get the right outcome and that you don't have to wait too long, good on you for fighting for what your son clearly deserves! xx

Hi

I've just called to be told decision made yesterday but can’t tell me over the phone. I’ve seen people post about option 4 to get more info but is this option available on 08001214600 number? I have been back on the line and I haven’t heard an option 4 🙈

Mumtuc75 · 24/07/2025 12:18

MR 25 weeks today (SD 30th Jan). Phoned up, it’s not been assigned yet, and told I don’t need to call back. I feel so anxious waiting and I’m convinced I will be rejected. It’s the waiting and not knowing. I know they are busy, but now I don’t know at which point I should be worried they’ve forgotten my claim or I’ve fallen to the bottom of the pile.

Still nothing can be found, it’s being looked at and I couldn’t stress enough how much this evidence is needed with my claim - I sent it recorded 4 weeks ago it’s simply isn’t good enough . The decision maker is going to call me apparently if they can’t find it so I can read it out to her word for word. It’s just an absolute nightmare!xx

Abwill · 24/07/2025 16:18

Well I’ve had a message from decision maker asking to call her coz she couldn’t reach me but then I couldn’t reach her the lines dead so I called costumer service lovley guy has been in contact with her explained the situation with the line even called me back to make sure it was working and she still couldn’t get through to me. Basically he said to put my mind at rest she basically made the decision on the evidence she’s got and kept him at high rate but won’t officially award him until the evidence I read out to her in the morning(the stuff they lost- under smi he should get hrm now he’s 3 ) when she calls again in the morning. If she can’t get through the lovely man is going to call me a relay the information out basically

Abwill · 24/07/2025 17:39
