Has anyone else actually had the decision maker call them with their result? O.K, l have been let's say diligent (they would say a pest). I worked out if you call at exactly 9am you get straight through. So, l called a lot. 1st time it happened l sounded like a blithering idiot because l wasn't expecting to talk to someone so quickly.
Anyway, 6 weeks after getting a copy of my report, this afternoon l very unexpectedly got the call. Gobsmacked about covers it. They have upped daily living to enhanced and are back paying from date of claim (Nov 2021). Standard mobilty as before but l was a cheeky so and so and told her to have another quick look because there are lots of discrepencies between what l said l can do & the report saying l can do 30m in a min Ha! Doubt it will happen but while l had the organ grinder thought l might as well.
All applied for 3yrs so complete result.
My Tips:
I had tel appt and used "This is because" over and over. Why aids don't always aid - this is because a reaching grabber is no use if you are unable to safely lift/ lower the weight you grab. I use baby cutlery - this is because l need to keep arms close to body to lessen pain and the curved cutlery helps me feed myself more reliably. I just found having the phrases in my head helped with discriptors.
I wont ask for official MR over mobility, think l've gotten a fair whack but am still in shock about the call.

Hi Ali

Congratulations. That is good to hear. The decision-makers do sometimes call, but it's certainly not common. Good for you, for having those phrases in your head.
