Good news!! And a query

So good news, after a MR, my partner has gone from just standard daily, to enhanced on both!! Really surprised and relieved to get it sorted, my only query is regarding the backpay, I believe they have forgotten to add the enhanced part of the daily living, and have only paid the enhanced mobility. I may be wrong, but if someone can just check these figures before I ring on Monday, I’d really appreciate it?

Rubbish at maths but just wanted say it's definitely not right but my heads hurting trying to add it up and I quit but brilliant news on your outcome! I'm starting to not feel quite so negative after seeing people do actually get decisions overturned at mr stage

It's £608 every 4 weeks for 6 months.. It's edging towards £4,000 I'd say (my maths is actually appalling!)
But it does mention in the letter "They may owe you some money"
I think they do!! ?

I think the original suggestion that they have forgotten to include the extra Daily Living amount is about right.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -
Did I mention my maths was appalling! ?

My maths are as follows:
Enhanced mobility £62.25 (x26 weeks) comes to £1618.50 so pretty close to the back payment received. However that tells me the enhanced daily is still owing £29.15 (x 26 weeks) which equates to about £757.
I’m only guessing here though!! -
You need to take into account that some of this is at last years’s rates and some at this year’s rates but broadly what you have suggested seems a likely explanation.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
