Put in claim for mobility, was turned down.
So we appealed and just rang to find they have changed decesion and gave Sam Lower Rate Mobility!..

I was expecting them to turn us down again and need to go to tribunal but they havnt..

Will they now need to back date us from the date we put in claim (31st jan) or date we appealed (10th march)

x

yay thats good news hun x havent a clue on backdate think it may be from start date

im torn over whether to appeal or not even more since jack had accident out walking

Its deffo worth the apeal hun,if you feel ur child should be on more then deffo appeal!
I feel sam should have been given higher rate mobility in some sences but i then think and am gratefull that he can walk, so im happy with the decesion of getting lower rate as its a better decesion then they offered us in the begining!

think i will do it what do they ask etc?
i was going to leave it but jack normally has to be in buggy and the one time i let him walk he lost his ballance hes lucky he didnt take his eye out

we get middle care and wondering if i should appeal at same time

Does jack require night time care? If so how many times a night for how long? (if he doesnt require night care then you wont qualify for higher rate care)
Also, i just rang to appeal my decesion, and they just asked why i thought the decesion was wrong and asked if i could supply any more info what would help them to make a decesion.. like how far he could actulay walk before complaining about pain/discomfort etc... this is then they made the decesion to give him lower rate mobility!


Does anyone know what other benefits he may be entitled to now hs on lower rate mob, (Blue badge etc) or would you only qualify for these bein on high rate? just asking as my gran just told me put in for a badge? and i didnt think i could apply for anything?
