Just sent off review form

vixen_5053

Have just sent off my review form yesterday. Award is due to end October 2023. 

Just wanted to put this discussion on here to remind me when I sent it off. I know it may be a long wait but fingers crossed it’s not too long. I’ve filled it in putting a few real world examples for each descriptor that applies so hopefully award stays the same, enhanced for both. Had a few specialist letters and my repeat prescription list also. 

I don’t post much on here but have been reading through all the posts and the advice on here is brilliant and much appreciated to everyone who gives it. 

These links were very helpful also when filling out the form:

Will keep you all updated. 

Thanks.

UPDATE!!

Just to update everyone, after sending off my review form in April 2023, I received a text message on the 21st February that my review was complete. I didn’t have to have another assessment, or even a phone call from DWP.

Received the letter today and I have been kept on the same rates, enhanced for both, for an ongoing period. Very happy and it has been an easy process.

I followed the advice on here, sent a lot of anecdotal evidence for each descriptor on my form, giving at least 2 examples for each that affected me. I also sent off a few consultant letters and my repeat prescription also. 

Thanks everyone for the advice on here, it is much appreciated.

Does this mean I have been awarded for 10 years?

 Thanks.

Amazing news @vixen_5053, congratulations!  That must be a huge weight off your mind now.

Great news @vixen_5053! What a relief for you! Hope you're having a little celebration somehow

I agree @ChrisSCOPEhtfc94, having to ask if someone is still autistic, or still lacks limbs seems very silly. I keep getting 3 year awards, so I'm hoping now I have my official diagnosis, I may get an extended award.  I'm still keeping everything crossed for you!

Thanks everyone, relieved is an understatement, no worries for 10 years.

Thanks again for all the advice on here, it is a great forum and would have been lost without it.

@ChrisSCOPEhtfc94 hopefully you get the award you deserve, just follow the great advice on here and you should be fine.
