    You're already waiting for the Tribunal for the first decision. Now you need to request the MR for the 2nd decision. MR success rate have increased from 17% to about 54% since Covid19 so there's a much better chance of the decisioin changing.

    @poppy123456 @Cher_Scope thank you both so much. I am going to ensure to include more real time examples of his behaviour and needs in the MR and I will come back to this thread and let you know the outcome as soon as I receive it. Thank you so much for all your advice, links posted etc. I'll be sure to take it all on board. @Username_removed thank you to you as well for everything, I know it took me a minute to realise that you were infact just trying to help and it is appreciated. Sorry for the confusion earlier

    Hello @deebronny. I can understand your exhaustion and exasperation at the process, it can be difficult at the best of times, let alone when you've been given poor or conflicting advice and are coping on little sleep.

     All I want is help but everywhere I turn it just seems that people like to tell me what I've done wrong instead of advising the me of the right things to do and so this makes me a little defensive.
    I think what you've said here is very important and is good for us all to remember. It can be very disheartening to be told you've done something 'wrong' or 'incorrectly' without being offered a solution.  

    Hopefully you now have a better idea of what it is you need to do. The best of luck with your MR and please don't hesitate if there's anything we can do to support you with the further process.

    Hi all, just a quick update to let you all know, I've recieved the outcome of the MR today and my sons been awarded middle rate care up until just before his 5th birthday. Thanks for all the advice that was given (apologies again for becoming defensive about all, but I'm a sensitive soul) I'm so grateful that they seen he was entitled and that I can now get him all the little things he needs.
