DLA Wait Times Part 5 2022

My scan date is 9th Aug, called today and spoke to a lovely lady who advised my claim was with a DM and could take up to 2weeks once with a DM, but assured me that it shouldn't take that long...this thread has been so useful....fingers crossed x

Hi everyone 5th of August scan date . Just rang and been told my boy has been awarded MRC and LRM . It was all a bit weird though as he said there had been a technical issue and it looked like it was still open even though had been awarded. Then he said it looks like their still finalising things . But then said they sent out a letter last week. He said it had definitely been awarded though until aug 24. Didn't say anything about payment dates or back money. I'm wondering wether to call again in the morning to confirm things again . He did 20 mins of typing in silence and didn't really sound as if he knew what he was doing. Anyone had anything similar ?

Anyone with any updates x

Oh no. What evidence had you sent in

They didn't tell me just told me to wait for a letter, I'm gutted x

Oh no why wasn't you awarded xx

Scan date 5th August. I've just rang up my decision was made a couple.of days ago and I haven't been awarded. How.long does a mandatory reconsideration take?

I have no decision either x

I rang (5/8 SD) with DM since Thursday/Friday no decision yet. Have asked for a text

@Gemma96x school should understand that masking in school is massively common. Tell them this and that you want to report you're concerns to them so they are aware and included.

That's amazing you've been awarded ! Congratulations! I hope and prey we all get some good news soon!

Yes I was told this week- next at latest and my scan date is the 11th !

Fingers crossed for us all! X

Just got off the phone. Scan date 10th Aug, should be with the decision maker either later this week or early next week. I sent loads of evidence, but panicking that I didn’t do good enough with the forms. Fingers crossed to you all

Hi all,

My scan date was 5th August and I rang this morning and was told a decision was made yesterday. My son has been awarded MRC until 2024 I am absolutely made up. I sent 2 speech & language reports, consultant report, statement from his nursery (he’s in a SEND nursery) and statement from my mother-in-law about caring for him.

Good luck everyone, hope you all get what you want and deserve x

Don't think I get kuch help from school as my sons good at school xx it's at home he's not

Yes going to do that now and 3rd Aug x

@Gemma96x what's you're scan date? Not much longer now hopefully! I'd let them know ! I think it helps if they are expecting that call...

Just wondering if u should nip to school and tell them I've put a claim in for dla for my son or not xx

Yes mine been allocated to someone to be looked at but she was asking if I had anymore information to send it which I told her I only have my sons asd report so that felt abit strange x

@Gemma96x did they tell you any updates? The lady I spoke to was so vague

Hi I’m a long time lurker and first time poster here 😊
my scan date is the 11th august I’ve just got off the phone and the lady said ‘mine will be one of the next decisions to be made’ so I’m taking that as with the decision maker ?
min a little nervous after reading here as I only sent the pedatricians letter and a letter to the speach and language for referal as she felt he needed another assessment for ADHD traits.
I know if they ring school they will 100% support my application as they have been great at supporting my son when he struggles and are very understanding! Can’t help but feel anxious it’s such a long time to wait if it’s a big fat no!
anyone else similar date to mine ?

Anyone 3rd and been awarded x

Thank u I'm dreading it xx

@Gemma96x
Fingers crossed for you, I hope they can give you an answer x

I'm on hold now x

@Gemma96x Scan date is 8th August. Our school sendco was temporary and now it's the nursery teacher who my son never had as he went elsewhere, and he's on medication now so his current teacher has never seen him without it so she won't have much idea if they were to call her either. He still has areas where he struggles, as I suspect there's more than just his Adhd and the ground he has to make up from making such little progress in his first two years of school, but he's very different in the classroom this school year compared to before. Meds are great but they don't help him outside of school, as they don't kick in until we're out the door in the morning, worn off by the evening, and he doesn't take them at weekends! So will be interesting if they do decide to contact anyone to confirm what I've sent them!

I didn't have the senco teacher for my son because she had already left the school by time I did my sons claim and school didn't fill out there section either I just have my sons autism dsm-5 diagnosis report that I sent it. When Is your scan date xx
