Amazing news! Bet you feel so relieved now

I will keep my fingers crossed they decide HRM 🤞 good luck

Was there COC just for mobility?

Congratulations I’m so happy you got the award you was hoping for ☺️

They were already on HRC and did COC for HRM. I’ve only gone for mobility too

Oh this is fantastic!! X

What’s your scan date? It seems to be just the mobility change that gets decisions earlier

Just received 1st regarding UC high rate backpay it says I'll be awarded is there another letter don't say any figures but he's high rate anyway

Thats brilliant, what a relief you must feel, so glad you got the outcome you wanted x

Can I ask when your scan date is? I've only gone for mobility as well, hoping to get a decision soon as we are 29 weeks today

Im annoyed I rang now should if just waited until tomorrow 😂 I think theyll change care maybe but ive a gut feeling they wont give mobility and well have to go to tribunal

My SC is 12/05 x

29 weeks 😱 my SD is 12/05 x

call tomorrow and the next day if you have to 😂 they said you should receive a decision by tomorrow so call all you want. Hopefully both will be overturned, good luck

Thanks hun, hopefully you wont have long left until decision

I did a MR on 30/4 for my daughter as she got awarded mrc but needs care day and night due to all her issues the letter i sent as evidence off her Speech and language therapist states she needs care in the night due to dysphagia will this be enough evidence? They have all the daytime care evidence just night was needed for mr
23 weeks we've been waiting now and I know people been waiting longer than us too!

Mrc does cover some night time needs. The difference between hrc and mrc is there has to be significant and prolonged care all through the day and night. I personally dont think it would cover night needs.

We spend throughout the night at least 2 hours attending to her she has polydipsia and drinks in excess but all her water requires thickener so we are making this up throughout the night too which results in regular nappy changes in the night due to how much she is drinking and as shes a newly diagnosed coeliac her stools are very unpredictable so a few nights a week we find ourselves bathing her in the middle of the night

Ah that's different then, does the salt reports say this in it/requiring it durning the night?

Yeah shes been really thorough in regards to night time needs and how long we would spend doing these things, its just such an anxious wait after all these weeks! Ive had to send further evidence of her coeliac diagnosis too as this has only been diagnosed 4 weeks ago

It should be enough then I reckon. Ill keep my fingers crossed foe you 🤞🏻

I was just gling through the evidence I sent for the MR and realised I accidentally sent the same page of her physio report 3x over instead of the full report. I think ive fucked this up now 😭

Oh no your joking 🤦‍♀️ I would call them first thing and let them know if a decision hasn’t been made they might give you time to send it in?

Yeah this is what im going to do. Im ao bloosy upset now that ive messed this up for her. Although all evidence does state her being non mobile but I dont think theyll take much care for them without the physio report

Hi has anybody recently applied for carers ? Just wondering the wait times of getting it accepted and back dated x
