      Thank u for your reply . Its so nerve racking waiting . Does it take as long for them to send a letter and decide if not been awarded. Im new to all this just the anxiety is so bad and to wait since aug to get to where i am now would be awful if wasnt successful.

      To be honest I have no idea as I was awarded both at enhanced rate, I suppose mine was quite straight forward as I can't walk, I think it all depends on the amount of backup paperwork you submit to backup your claim

      I'm like you would honestly give it all back if you could walk and be independent, its helped but would sooner not need help
