Hi everybody.
Just a bit of background. My daughters been on DLA since she was 2. A lot of illness in the family 3 of us with Autoimmune Disease, Autism, ADHD, Epilepsy, Cerebral Palsy etc and it feels like I spend my life filling out forms.
As I'm getting older, the stress of these is really getting to me. In the last year alone I've had to do my Pip application, my sons DLA change of circumstances and my daughter has had to change from DLA to PIP. And all the other UC moves/Council drama that never ends.
I don't have another fight left in me. So I rang for the report and the Assessor has scored her enough points to have Enhanced on Daily Care and Mobility. However I was really angry one some of the questions as they've given her nothing which just isn't true. I called up after receiving report and we decided to wait for result before I start questioning it as I didn't want to lose what could be potentially Enhanced on both.
However today I have called up and the Automated line has said I'm getting £615.90 on the 22nd August. This amount just doesn't add up to 4 weeks of anything? I've tried all variables and HRC+LRM HRC+HRM LRC+HRM LRC+LRM doesn't add up to that amount.
I've spoke to two advisors, neither will tell me the result and I just can't bear waiting 2 weeks to find out I have another fight on my hands.
The amount is closest to LRC+HRM. If it helps, on the automated line one time they asked me which rate I got of PIP and I said Enhanced mobility and they put me through. And another time I said Enhanced Daily care and they put me through. Or does this mean nothing?
I thought I finally had all of our finances sorted and I could start trying to look after myself a bit more (late diagnosed AuDHD) but I don't think this will be the case. Anyone shed any light to calm some of this anxiety?
oh and I thought maybe there was some overlap with her DLA why the payment was different, but I’ve checked my bank and she was due her DLA today and it wasn’t paid. Can anyone help me?
Thanks
