DLA Wait Times Part 5 2022

Try writing to your local mp, if their worth anything they’ll look into it for you. It works trust me. I emailed mine 11 days ago, scan date sept 13th with a payment landing tomorrow x

My scan date is the 15th September. I called up on Friday to check if my additional evidence had been received. The lady that I spoke to said that my claim will be looked at in the next 10 days. I got the impression she didn’t really know what she was taking about though. I expect that I’ll receive a decision around Christmas time.

Im 6th September so still a while to go yet 😩 feels like forever xx

Good luck everyone. The lady on the phone Friday told me to expect a decision tomorrow so will be watching the phone like a hawk 🤣

22nd of August xx

What’s your scan date? Xx

Good luck for the week ahead! I’ll be checking back here everyday. I’m going to call Friday as I sent addition info and want to make sure they’ve received both! Maybe I’ll even ring the week after. I’m not expecting have any decision until the 28th of November at the earliest x

Here's to another week of waiting! I'm really hoping il have a decision by Wednesday. I'm going to be gutted if it's no and I have to appeal 😭 x

@Kirsty111 i have no idea I’ll be honest! I’ve not bothered ringing for a long time and I think the next time I’ll ring is next week just to check all the extra stuff I posted has been scanned on. When I do call I’ll keep you updated and you can update me too 😃xx

(Cody is my son)

Thank you I did change of circumstances and added my sons dla claim to when I rang up to start the dla process but uc are saying that dla hasn't shared the details on Cody getting dla yet so I was told to wait untill they share it over xx

@MissEllie2 i will do hopefully hear something soon it’s driving me mad going to call again Monday do you know what loaded onto the system means is that the same as with the DM

@Kirsty111 my scan date is the 22nd of August too!!! Good luck and keep us updated x

Hiya all I’m new to all of this I sent of my forms with a scan date of 22nd August phoned earlier this week and the lady said it’s been loaded onto the computer does anyone no what this means thanks

I think so I’m not 100% sure on the caring element. X

@Gemma96x keep getting email notifications and had a nose how people where getting on. Well done on Award. With us we had back pay in bank in 4 days and with uc we had to go on who lives you you by your child's name there's a button to press to change details. Add dla claim and then claim carers too as middle rate you can claim and I got decision of both within a day and bedroom tax wiped which had built up since end of May. Really impressed how quick they did it after the wait of this. That is backdated too if you told them you intended to claim. I put a note on my journal the day I rang for a claim form so was all backdated from that day.

@Shellbel10 i sent his ASD assessment and diagnosis letter, send plans, sleep diary, had his TA fill out the professional section. Can’t remember what else but been waiting on his GP records so I could send them too as he has lots of referrals and access to his sleep meds, asthma attacks ect but they are so back logged and haven’t gotten to me yet so it’ll be too late to send that by time it’s given to me. They have their contact details though so I guess if they wanted more evidence they could contact them. I’m honestly just trying to send as much as possible but the sad part is that we as parents cannot prove all the care we give on a daily basis as no one is there professionally to witness it so they just have to go by our word. I think everyone worries they’ve not sent enough and that they will be denied. It’s such a long wait. Regardless if we know that our children deserve it, the decision is in a strangers hand who has no clue about our children other than what we can inform them. It worries me 😣

Yes I really was i kept thinking 🤔 god I've not got enough evidence but finally got there in the end good luck shellbel10 I will still post on here X

@Gemma96x so glad you got what you and your son deserve I could tell how nervous you was

@Shellbel10 10th august

Hi girls keep in there you will all have a decision soon I know it's such a long wait!!!! BUT DONT GIVE UP good luck to you all. Don't panic about evidence so much please as I only sent my sons autism diagnosis report and told them appointments and contact details for senco on the phone 📱 and my son was awarded you'll get there and take care 🙂 xxx

What is your scan date @Luly78

Ours has gone to DM who phoned senco at school today. Was told to phone back Monday for a decision

That’s a nightmare can I ask what other evidence you sent

Mines the 22nd of August and I’ve just finally received an email with my sons latest OT report. I’ve asked for weeks for it to be posted and finally asked for it to be emailed so I can print myself! I’m going to send it tomorrow as additional evidence but I’m not sure it’ll even be scanned in time 😣
