No I couldnt.. I wish I had have done now.. I am Monday though has seen mr been done around my date.x

Okay let me know how you get on and il let you know if i hear anything x

Mr 20/8 seen some Julys thinking mabey next month would be nice as his only interest is hot wheels and they have monster truck shows coming up in march would be amazing to take him

Hiya I have received the letter this morning and it does not really make any sense to me. They have extended his award for another 2 years. Kept him at middle rate as he requires help with bodily functions throughout the day. No mention as to why HRC was denied and there is no reasons at all. A list of reasons why he didn’t meet mobility criteria which I wasn’t holding out much hope for anyway! I just don’t get how they have completely ignored the sleep diary I sent in. Makes no sense! Starting the MR Monday xx

At least it has been extended and you dont have to do a renewal whilst your doing your MR. But i dont get why they havent put a reason for declining the HRC. Just argue the point that your child needs extensive care all day and night and provide more examples of what he is like.
My daughters claim didnt even get extended. Even though they said she continues to need extensive care throughout the day and her claim is due to end in may. I also didnt get a statement of reasons was just told the reason over the phone. But ive sent all extra evidence and has gone back to decision maker to see if they change their mind. If not i will be with you on the MR but they did say her MR will be done with her renewal in May. Xx

if a payment was sent Wednesday when do you think it’ll go in? I’m with NatWest xx

Hi hun if was sent Wednesday should be Monday I imagine im with natwest too and one payment was issued 26th and I received 29th so 3 days so maybe possibly sat but if its working days then be Monday x

Hi guys me again 2 of my children who now receive DLA as of a few days ago has been verified by UC
Does anyone know how long takes after verification for the disabled child element please

I know im in for another long wait gosh never ending lol x

Thank you sm xx

Marked the change in UC for him.. is there anything else needed for UC? X

Have you asked for the disabled child element to be backdated? X

The annoying thing is I can put a message in but no one picks it up due to me technically not having a ‘work coach’ I’ll put a message in but not holding out on much anytime soon x

Someone should still be looking at your account. I dont have a work coach but they still pick up my messages. Put it under message for my work coach and also payments and someone should pick it up. If not call them and they will get someone to look into it for you xx

last time it took them 2 months just kept getting told to wait x it’s so annoying but oh well can’t complain xx

I was surprised when I saw it had been extended as the man on the phone did not mention that. Fingers crossed for you they look at it properly this time and you get the award your daughter deserves 🤞🏻 xx

Anyone with mr july 21 heard anything?

It took two months for me too last time so im expecting the same again x

Im mid july cant remember exact day xx

Just noticed a pending payment on my account for £1144 - no texts or letters etc received. We called for forms on 18th Nov - is this MRC / LRM by the looks of it?

Thank you, im hoping they do. Im going to call tomorrow and see if its been looked at xx

Yeah definitely MRC and LRM as it works out at 11 weeks plus 10 pound christmas bonus. Congratulations on your award xx

@Princessmom222 have u heard anything

Amazing! Congrats to your little one!
What was your scan date?

No i called on wednesday and was still in a holding que im guessing another month or so x

Thank you! Honestly we didn't have much evidence, just a letter from the senco stating about his part time timetable / aggression / emotional dysregulation so I thought we were going to be sunk for evidence. I actually feel like I can breathe a little bit now, we've been hemorrhaging money trying to support his needs and education.

My scan date was 22/12 :)
