DLA Wait Times Part 5 2022

@Navigatormum what's youre scan date xx

When I called Last Tuesday mine was not yet with a DM.

I called today and it was, but was also told another It few weeks before a decision will be made.

I'm in que to speak to them. See if there are any updates at all

@Trustynickname mine went to one last Tuesday and I haven’t heard yet

Anyone know how long it takes from when it goes to a case worker? Mine hasn’t even got that far yet, I’m wondering how long I’ll have to wait once it is looked at. It’ll be 14 weeks tomorrow since they received x

My scan date was August 11th and was a renewal but treated as a new claim as was a few days late due to health.

To support the application: I sent in:

EHCP, Neurodevelopment assessment, CAMHS letters, diagnoses for ADHD, Tourette syndrome, learning disabilities, an up-to-date behavioural report from school, a letter from the holistic engagement officer and a cognitive assessment.

Scanned date 11th August.
I was initially sent a letter to confirm my Child's nationality which was strange as she is British.

I spoke with the DLA office this morning and unfortunately, she would not confirm which dates they are working on😐

She advised that my application was treated as a new claim and is current with a case manager. It has been 14 weeks thus far! She also advised that it could be another fortnight🤨

I think they are inundated with work and we are being told conflicting information by various call handlers. I have just emailed my M.P to request support.

Good luck to all still going through this long process.

My daughters claim was for a renewal which was due to end on 27th. Got a decision today when I called. Awarded same rate hrc for 2 years. I believe the date they recieved it on the 13th October. I never recieved any letter to say when they scanned it on the system

Any updates? I’m 9th august still haven’t heard anything. Spoke to a lady on the dla helpline last week who said it hasn’t been looked at yet it isn’t even with a case worker, so I’m hoping this week there will be some luck. I’m going to call later as I also sent further evidence through last week and want to check they have received.

Hi I’ve been following this thread I received a text Friday to say we had qualified which is fab news as I was extremely anxious not sure why . Scan date of 11th august . Hopefully that helps everyone on here . Evidence was diagnosis and ehcp .

Does anyone know what date they are up to this week?

@ChocolateSundayGirl I’m 10th too! Fingers crossed for something today x

Rang up this morning scan date 15th sept the women I spoken sed 4-5 weeks for a decision

Good luck everyone X

If anyone rings this morning would you let us know what date they’re working up to this week please

Thanks @MissEllie2 I called last Monday and hadn’t got to the DM yet so will call again today. Yes, there’s was lots of evidence, so hopefully that’s the reason I haven’t heard yet. My daughter was previously awarded dla but due to my own health problems I missed the renewal so it’s now a new claim. Will update here when I’ve phoned them xx

@MissEllie2 I agree keep questioning my evidence etc but what will be will be

@Meli3 thank you! Yes I’ve been following the thread for ages too. I do find it helpful but actually in some ways I wish I knew less about it 🤣 it’s become an addiction and sometimes it’s caused more worry that good haha. Xx

@ChocolateSundayGirl have you called? Call at 9 on the dot and you’ll get less of a wait. I wouldn’t worry about not hearing yet, there are still some for earlier in august who haven’t either. Depends what DM it has gone too and maybe they have more to get through? More intense evidence? I’m not sure but please don’t worry. Give them a call and they will update you on whether it’s with the DM or maybe it’s even been awarded already xx

10th August here and still not heard anything. Getting worried now

@MissEllie2

Of course I will, I've followed these threads for ages and found it quiet helpful, I do think it's the luck of the draw because some have been awarded with a later date than others. Fingers crossed for us

@Meli3 not long for us 🤞🏼🤞🏼 hopefully we get the awards we know our kids deserve. I’ll keep you updated and you keep me updated too please 🙏🏼

@LucasMummy88 informed them of the current wait times, and that we was struggling to meet costs of travel to appointments etc. reminded him very politely that I understand we have come through a pandemic etc. which I applied twice and found it reasonably quick and wouldn’t say easy but straight forward. However this time everything has changed. Asked them nicely to look into it. I emailed 11 days ago. My mp is in opposition I might add so I’m very impressed with this turn around x

Hiya long time watcher of these threads, my date 23rd August I called on Friday he said around 2 weeks and was pretty helpful. Although I do think it's the luck of the draw could be earlier could be later. Good luck to everyone this week!

@Lysha1988 what did you say to your local MP? x
