    @rsx @Cher_Scope @Cressida thank you so much your support and advice means the world to me .

    sorry if I left any one out thanks so much to you all Xx 

    @Debbie1234 hi Debbie thanks for your comment . No mental health professional should be calling you damaged for life . My mental health team always say I won’t be like this my whole life I have little hope . But I think that’s rude for them to tell you that . Your not a damaged women your a strong amazing women who’s been threw hell and yet still here surviving . 

    No it’s trauma therapy they want me to do which is going to be bit traumatic for me . 

    I’m sorry the therapy did not work for you . Maybe it will one day but your not damaged just not well . All tho our memories can’t be erased hopefully we can learn to cope with it .

    That's good news. No, it doesn't because it's not paid monthly, it's paid every 4 weeks. You should receive the decision letter sometime next week, as it's not unusual to have the money before the letter.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    The date of payment is hard to predict you will have to wait for the letter 

    I meant online shopping

    No you don't get a list of dates. Your award letter will explain when it's paid from and when your payment day is and it's paid every 4 weeks.

    For example mine is every 4 weeks on a Wednesday and my last one was Wed 12th August, my next one will be Wed 9th Sept. My daughters last one was Tues 6th August and her next one will be Tues 3rd Sept.

    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.

    Aww well done @cupcake88 I am really pleased for you.. I got my decision letter in the post yesterday and I was scored more than I assumed by looking at my report. I scored 6 but still obviously isn’t enough for an award. I have sent of my MR now with medical evidence and also other evidence of myself and my mum that we have writen. Taking it to the next step now and will just see how I go from there.. 
    @Debbie1234 Hi Debbie are you appealing or doing the MR so far? I’m not yet at the appealing I’ve just sent of my MR yesterday and hoping they receive all my information next week..

    @poppy123456 hi I just got my report threw today . And it says on her report she recommends a review in a year but on my actual letter it says I have it till June 2022 Does that mean they will review me in a year or will it be 6 months before 2022 am I guaranteed my money till till June  2022 ? I also got one says that the money went up in April 2020 will I be back paid for that  ?

    Reviews take place about 6 months before the award is due to end. Your backdated money should have included the benefits increase that was in April.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
