Time scales anyone?

Ok thanks ladies I will.
I have MS. My condition rarely changes and if it does it’s only progression.
I scored the same on all descriptors as last time. 17 for care, 12 for mobility.
Enhanced for both.
It says I’ve awarded it for a bit longer this time... to November 2021 🙈

Which is even more reason to think it's to do with the following and planning a journey changes and not your actual review.

I don’t score anything for that as it’s not relevant to me

Probably why your score didn't change then

That doesn't mean they didn't look at your award again because of the changes. That activity doesn't apply to me either but they still looked at my award again. Although the changes took place a few years ago this doesn't mean they've looked at everyone's award already, chances are they haven't.

Regarding your review, most people have telephone assessments, paper assessment are still very rare.

The only way you'll know for sure is to ring them tomorrow morning when they open at 9am.

Can I ask as wife has MS.
What did you get the 12 mobility points on?
As wife only got 10 on walking, but nothing on able to plan a trip etc, despite itclearlyy being stated she can not plan or follow a route.

Not the OP, but they said they didn't score anything on planning and following a journey:

If you feel your wife's award was incorrect, you need(ed) to have challenged it.  How long ago was the decision?

Sure I got the 12 points because I can’t walk more than 20 metres without pain, aids or falling.

Yes I’ll call tomorrow. My last assessment was a paper assessment. Based purely on report from my Ms nurse, a call with her (assessor called her) and a neuro report.

Ok so i called and spoke to somebody this morning. They think the claim wasn't finished off properly and the award is for 3 years. He is going to speak with the decision maker or whoever it was and get it finished properly and a new award letter sent out. He also said more review forms have been sent!
Sounds like they are crazy busy and mistakes are being made. Lets hope i get a new letter soon
