Ahh I've clearly misunderstood then when I thought it was September onwards in the shorter backlog. Thanks so much for clarifying! It would be great to hear sooner, although I feel for the people stuck waiting longer just because they were before a certain date!

Yes I've done the same thing I'm hoping to hear soon but have a feeling it's going to be a no anyway ! What rate do you currently get x

Hi, how are you getting on? Feel like I’ve missed loads from these threads 😂 I’m so nervous, it’s really stressing me out at the minute. My mam thinks it’s a good thing that I’ve been asked to go to court in person as I can tell them properly rather than written down and there’ll be more emotion behind it etc but I’m terrible with face to face things x

Same thing happened to me. Ring them and ask them if they can verify through child benefit. Thats how my twins were verified.

I sent birth cert in already his claim was last year. But useful to know incase I ever have to deal with them with my other children.

When we sent in his renewal we sent in loads of information regarding HRM but in his decision not once was the evidence we sent mentioned, we felt if they had rejected him for HRM (we had specifically asked them to look at it) they should have mentioned it in his statement of reasons. There justification for LRM is he CAN physically walk unaided without the use of specialist tools... okay great but hes so unpredictable we either have to grip onto his hand for dear life or use a pair of reigns in order to stop him running off.

But looks like this week will be d-day, fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed for you x

She’s currently on mrc, I first applied when she was 3 with no evidence, no diagnosis only a preschool statement, the award at the time didn’t meet her needs but I didn’t have the evidence to show it. Now she’s nearly 5 so much worse diagnosed, blue badge, ehcp and been seen by loads of people, it’s states her needs to qualify for hrc and hrm throughout all the reports so hopefully I won’t have to do a MR 🤞

Hi yes I got paid back £511 have u had any news as of yet

No news yet, I will be 31 weeks tomorrow so hopefully I will hear something this week 🤞

Morning

mr scan date 13/5

called this morning they said with a case manager. Is this the same as a dm? 😅

MR 26/4 phoned this morning mrc to hrc!

Unfortunately still no decision made for us.

That’s a long wait, is it not possible to escalate it? As it’s well over due.

The wait times for coc has gone up to 31 weeks recently so it should be anytime now 🤞

Have you rang them again ? Think I'm going to ring and see what date they say they are up to x

What was you SD again x

Our son's nearly 7 I've sent all his evidence in already plus more and he was awarded Hrc and lrm when he was 5 I did a change of circumstances as he can't walk far he has hyper mobility and just stops and lies down no matter where he is we have to use a disability pram if we are out of the car. He's a big boy and I struggle to carry him. He's non verbal and doesn't follow instructions also only just got into a school that can meet his needs. He's has an echp that clearly stages his needs plus 1-1 support also explains his gross motor skills etc but I somehow still don't think it will be enough x

Mine is 8/4 for COC

Many congratulations hun ! X

I just got through and now they won't even give a date they are working and mine isn't with a descion maker yet x

What date is yours? Is it a MR or COC?

It's a coc SD 28/4 x

Just logging in to see if @Curlycookie5 was awarded yet.. madness it's going in this long for you now
