DLA Waiting Times Part 6 2022

@kelllybartsboo Yay!! Congratulations! What was your scan date? X

I just managed to get through and i am so glad i did, been awarded lrm and mrc for 2 years. good luck to everyone

Called this morning saying another week scan 5th sep hope we get good news today for ppl who are waiting

@Mummyof2girlys i think you should definitely be awarded with all the evidence you have sent in and also all the information you have put on the form. I am worrying because all i sent in was her asd and adhd diagnosis reports and school iehp and also she as only just been diagnosed at 14 but it’s getting harder as she gets older. I am finally on hold to them now 🙈 good luck for your decision x

@kelllybartsboo i phoned at bang on 9am an got though in mind I was super shocked. X

@kelllybartsboo with the application I sent 7 letters as evidence mainly hearing test outcomes to show they couldn’t get her to condition or respond to any of it (total of 3 done befor being discharged) sent hospital letters from when she’s been admitted with severe asthma attacks & also a letter to show she had consultation with paediatric doctor and is due assessments for ASD pretty soon. I’d very much say she’s quite severe but she only 2 so I am really worried her age could go against her. First time ever claiming an I don’t even know if I did it all right. I sent an extra 4 pages so I’m hoping 11 letters as evidence may help. Plus I wrote up at additional 4 pages on her daily life 🤷‍♀️ Just so they have a clearer picture I guess.
what have you sent with your child’s application? X

@Mummyof2girlys what evidence did you send if you don’t mind me asking? i’m same date as you and i have tried ringing 3 times this morning but i get so far and then the phone gets put down

Rang at 9am and still with DM. Makes me feel so nervous!! Scan date 26th aug. Anybody recently had a decision what to as your scan date please?
good luck to all waiting x

Hi every1 does any know know how long carers allowance takes.

Hi all mines 15 weeks this week been with decision maker since 17th Nov. So fingers crossed we all get an outcome soon. X

When I phoned last week the women said new claims are currently taking around 12 and half weeks I daren’t phone in case it’s bad news 😩

🤞 I'm going to ring tomorrow and see If with a case worker as its 12 weeks tomorrow the waiting is the worst x

mines September 6th hopefully we’ll hear something soon 🤞xx

Hi every1 I'm new to the page scan date 5th sep very nervous of out come

Did anyone hear anything this weekend?

I think once they send you a text it means they've picked your form up and got your number from the form. I'm coming up to week ten on this coming Wednesday hoping and praying we get a decison mid December scan date 21st Sept

Nope still waiting . Been with DM for over a week now. My from was received 18th aug. Fingers crossed we all get some good news next week. X

Any good news today? I heard they work on weekends sometimes

@HeathenPlayingHouse amazing thank you for giving us some hope. My almost 4 yr old is also suspected ASD not as severe but lots of traits,behaviours & obsessions only I’m waiting on a little more input from nursery now befor we try to apply. I don’t fancy my chances twice it’s just awful,the worry and the stress and definitely the wait. Thank you x

@Mummyof2girlys Please don't worry about your DC's age, I have also heard it's harder when they're younger but my DS was 2 and a half when I applied for him and we just got his backdated award payment.

He's not diagnosed yet either so all I could send in was a initial doctor assessment report with the form- it seems to come down to the severity of which their condition(s) affect them day and night.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞

@LucasMummy88 yes my girls due brain scans and assessments in a matter of months now just waiting on the app. She’s quite severe ASD for sure,none-verbal & quite bad asthma on top. She screams a lot especially through the night. If like me have you noticed everything seems to be getting worse the older they are getting? I did send 11 letters of evidence so I’m just keeping everything crossed. She also scored zero on the ASQ with health visitor reviews x

Thank you @LucasMummy88. Good luck to you for your claim 💐

@Mummyof2girlys he is 2.5. I did send quite a bit of evidence in, a report from his complex needs worker, speech & language report, we are waiting on an assessment from the paediatrician. Im pretty certain he will get an autism diagnosis at some point.
I just think that he will be declined due to his age. I believe it’s really difficult to get a successful claim for under 5’s. Fingers crossed though.
@Lostatsea10 it was weeks from me sending my forms in to receiving acknowledgment. I ended up ringing to double check, that’s when I asked them my scan date.
Good luck all xx

How do you know your scan date? Do they send you a letter? And if so, how long between sending the form off and receiving your scan date did you wait? I posted it 10 days ago and worrying they’ve not got it.

@LucasMummy88 how old is your little one? I’m thinking the same because my girl turned 2 in august so I’m worried we’ll get rejected purley based on age.
