The hcp outlines that my husband has various medical diagnosis but then add her opinion why it doesn't apply anymore when awarding him in his care component. Frustration is an understatement, I live with a man that needs constant care and hates change or not knowing what is going to happen, he recently started self harming again and I truly thought we had moved a million miles away from that kind of behaviour. I feel like I failed him somewhere along the way. I know the process of the M. R Then tribunal but its never a quick result and it's them months and possibly years that concerns me.

mikehughescq, my husband previous assessent have been used as supporting evidence for his current assessment even though they are 4 years apart so previous assessment ments are used in future reports. We recieved his award today and its word for word what assessor decided so I'm now in process of mandatory reconsideration and likely appeal.

Hi @Vic1990 I am sorry to hear the award wasnt what you had hoped for and wish you luck with the MR
Make sure you put in the MR real life examples of how he is affected against the descriptors you think he should have scored more points saying what happened, where he was, who was with him, did he needs aids or support, why he cant do the task and so on
Let us know if there id anything else you need help with -
Am very pleased to say my husband was awarded enhanced rate for both care (16 points) and mobility (24 point) after requesting a M.R. Only took around 6-7 weeks so a really good outcome.
