Have u heard anything back yet I sent mine off 15th of march I didn’t get a letter to say they had received it I just rang up today and they have received it and it’s with a decision maker x?

Emmamarie00 · 22/05/2023 16:43

How long did it take for people to get a decision once with dm,, im not hopeful I will get it as my little one is only 11 months but phoned dla today and it’s with a decision maker so fingers crossed

Hi, Sorry to jump on this thread.

I sent my claim pack for my child at the end of Feb. Should I have received a letter / text by now to say they have received it?

Hi everyone has anyone received this text before and have been awarded??

We are still looking at your DLA1 Child claim. When a decision is made we will confirm it in writing. There is no need to contact us about it.

I got this - I think it’s just standard.

Hi, I sent my form and it was marked received on 28th October which is 13 weeks today. Is anyone still waiting!? I was told it would go to a decision maker at 13 weeks so I’m crossing my fingers. I’m doubting whether I’ll get it - my son has ADHD and can be hard work but im
worried I’ve not expressed it clearly enough in the application

AmyMoody I'm so pleased to hear this as read on another thread your daughter is diabetic. My sister is type 1 since age 5, now is 35, married with 6 year old twin girls, 2 year old boy & a good job wfh as a copy editor. She had DLA when we were kids due to her needs and my folks did not remotely need the money, so I was hoping your daughter would get award. I hope my sis being ok in life helps you feel positive about future...lots of advances being made & new research being funded since my sis was young.

Foes anyone know how long it takes to recieve the first payment? I was told it was released on Wednesday but unsure how long it takes to actually hit the bank

Mine was done on the Tuesday and I got it today so maybe tomorrow or Monday

@Amymoody i think the same as you beginning of this week

This is not true I had my new statement already. It does state child disabled element. I am waiting for the casemanger to do the backdate off this from 6th July x

Sevenwolf · 18/11/2022 07:11

@Amymoody i think the same as you beginning of this week

Sevenwolf · 18/11/2022 07:10

@Gemma96x when do you usually get your uc or at least your statement ? Someone told me it comes at the same time but I’m not 100% how true this is

Gemma96x · 18/11/2022 07:01

Sevenwolf · 18/11/2022 06:01

I haven’t @Gemma96x im curious too as it will be going towards Xmas I spoke to them Wednesday and they sent it off to the decision maker? How long have you been waiting? Did you update your uc account and leave a message in your Journal?

Yes updated mine on Friday last week xx

Amymoody · 18/11/2022 06:39

@Gemma96x @Sevenwolf i updated my journal and updated my child's details the beginning of the week and they replied stating they will need to verify the information. So not sure how long it will take for it to be verified but tbh I thought it would have been pretty much straight away as it all should be on the system shouldn't it. How long have you two been waiting? X

Hi guys has any1 had there back pay from uc yet x

MissEllie2 · 17/11/2022 15:39

Yes it’s the 22nd as well, we are slowly getting closer. All of me just wants to call but then I know it’s too early yet. I’ve seen someone 21st of August though so the temptation is high!!! I think I’ll wait until the end of next week

Kirsty111 · 17/11/2022 14:32

It’s definitely one thing after another I’ve put of making a claim for DLA for a very long time as all my energy is put into fighting with the school and getting him the care he needs. I’m hoping to hear something back real soon but knowing our luck he will probably get refused
@MissEllie2 wasn’t your scan date the 22nd the same as mine x

MichelleG78 · 17/11/2022 13:01

@Kirsty111 @MissEllie2 I feel like I’m forever fighting to get him the help he needs! But I will continue to do so as that’s what us Mums do for our children isn’t it! I am going to get in touch with citizens advice and the National deaf childrens society to see if they can help me with my appeal. I really hope you both have positive outcomes x

Gemma96x · 17/11/2022 12:56

Trustynickname · 17/11/2022 11:13

@Gemma96x when do they backdate from? Do you need the letter to have come through to let them know about it? Son has been awarded but no letter yet

Hi my son got it backdated to when I phoned to make a claim xx
