How soon after the call from the decision maker to ask a few extra questions did people receive their decision for a MR please?

Spoke to them on Wednesday, calling on Monday to hopefully get the decision!

Congratulations, happy for you and your child. A 5 year award is really good! Can i ask what your scan date was please?

It was 8/10. I'm in disbelief. I don't understand why we would be given such a long award time (not going to complain though!)

Thats really good though. I do think its because your daughter is 12. Im sure ive seen someone say that they tend to award chilren over a certain age longer awards. But im not too sure how true that is! Haha anyways best of luck. Im so glad all the wait times and everything are over for you for the next 5 years. And im happy for you and your child that they got what they rightfully deserve 😃

Can someone create a new thread as this one is going to be full soon? Thank you!

@Kirsty3kids did you hear anything back as yours seems it was with a dm a while ago?

Hi can anyone help me out with rates please. £3016. Awarded from 22nd Jan 2025. Payment went in last week. Thank you

We're waiting for our MR since 06.06.2025. The original claim was received by them 15.01.2025. it's ridiculous.

My first was relieved by them 4/12/2024
Declined may the 14th
Mandatory reconsideration recieved 4/06/2025
In-between that we've had diagnosis for both adhd and autism and anxiety but it bugs me as she don't go to school she struggles with alot of people and cant concentrate in class because the noise the tapping and her reading age is 9.5 she's 14 she has to get taxis to school and back but its a struggle because im paying for that the school are always on my case but its not like im not trying and she's trying when she is in school so now my local mps involved because they want to fine me and my partner 180.00 I could sob I also struggle with anxiety x

Anyone know what this means anxiety is now through the roof x

Hi everyone,
i called up DLA to ask about my sons renewal which is due to end next week. The man on the phone said a decision was made on 17/11 and a letter has been sent out but he can’t tell me what the decision is on the phone. Is that right?? Shall i call again and hope i get to speak to somebody else?

can i ask when you sent in your renewal forms?

they were received by DLA on 21 August and my current claim ends on 29 November :)

thank you!
sent ours back about 4 weeks ago so i think ill have a wait still! it’s so frustrating when he has a permanent disability that will never improve only worsen yet every 3 years you have to jump through hoops!

Hi,
My daughters renewal has been successful, original end date 6/12,
She has again been awarded MRC, but has had LRM added , does the mobility part get backdated to when they received the renewal forms, or does it start from scratch on next payment date.?
Thank you.

Any recent MR been done? we've been waiting since July

A family member put one in middle of May and he hasn't heard anything yet.

renewal has been successful
only took them approx 3 weeks to look and renew ! never known it so fast. letters took a little longer to come.

Hello all I need some help

i called today they said they have made the decision but can’t tell on phone . You will get a letter next week…. They have made decision on 21 nov …

what you think is it approved or not ?

no text no letter no payment showing in acc …

Same happened with me today . Decision made on 21 nov … no text no letter no payment showing ..

unsure, just had our renewal where our offer had slightly increased. we received the money in the bank account before we even received our confirmation.
when we did our first claim again the money came before any notification of our award.

but that could have been just our case of course.

Yeah so I think I still have to wait to know the decision. A letter or text or payment in acc if approved

Should I call them again to know the decision?
