Dla part 14

My scan date was the day after they received but things may have changed now x

On the scan date, where do I find this?
I requested the forms on the 1st September, sent them back on the 30th September, recorded delivery. So knew it was received that day.
I had letter sent to me dated 18th November saying they've received the forms.
What date am I working from for wait times.
Just so I know when to chase.
Thanks

@AnnieSweet i think its 26 weeks for change of circumstances and like a new claim says 15 weeks when applied it is actually 18-19 weeks wait at the moment so probably where the extra 2 weeks have come from xx

Hi everyone, wondered how long people have waited for DLA change of circumstance? I was told on the phone in August it was a 28 week wait! Ridiculously long. My son could be receiving pip by the end of the wait. I called DLA in July to report coc, scan date 21/08.

Scan

Hi all,

has anybody with the scab date 29/06 had any news yet 🙏🏻 I called on Monday and he said give it a week and call back

Thanks so much

Hi that is hrc and lrm for 9 weeks xx

Hrc 101.75 + 26.90 = 128.65 x 9

Can anyone work out what we've been awarded please? Renewal forms received 14th August, old claim expired 16th August. They'd marked it as a new claim which is why it's taken so long as apparently renewals are usually done within 10 days. I can see £1157.85 due into the bank account tomorrow but I can't work out how that aligns with any rate.

A lady today said 2 weeks and I should have a decision. Different call handlers tell you all different information. I just can’t wait for this wait to be over and done with. Hope we all hear soon x

Mines the 30th, I called them on Monday and was told by a very nice man that they are updated on a Monday with the current wait times. As of Monday just gone it was 17.5 weeks, but basically it can be anything between now and the end of November.

Thank you. I didn’t know that there was another thread, I’m just on the phone now. Hopefully some news soon x

I read yesterday on the part 15 board that someone was awarded yesterday with a scan date of 14/06. I’ve also read that some people with your scan date of 29/06 and thereabouts have been told it’s now with the decision maker. That I believe can take 10-14 days approx. If you call there may be an update to say it’s atleast with a DM and being looked at? Good Luck x

Hi all,

has anybody recently recieved there award? If so what’s your scan date please. Mine is the 29th June I still haven’t heard anything

25th july sorry😀

My scan date is 27/07 and I’ve just had a txt on 02/10 to say
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 also rang on 03/10 to get their address to send new and extra info and the man said it’s approx 18 weeks atm for a decision so it will be first week of December at the earliest. Hope this helps

hi my scan dateis also 35th july, i have not received an answer yet, and am not planning on calling them to be honest, i will just wait until end of november,

Hello I'm abit new to this group and unsure if it's even OK to pop a quick question on here, but I sent off for DLA for my 3 and a half year old son, they received the forms on 26/07/23 has anyone else sent forms around about the same sort of time and had a decision back yet? I did ring them around 2 and a half weeks ago to explain they'd made a spelling mistake on he's name which they changed for me and said they hadn't reached a decision as of yet but I have 5 children in total and 3 step children and also work evenings when husband is home With the kiddos so I really don't have a spare hour and 45 minutes to be waiting on hol to get through to them like it took me last time

Thank you x Good luck with your claim xx

From other threads it looks like the backpay is within a few days, then every 4 weeks then after. Good news that they are in June now! My scan date is the 30th

HI all
does anyone know when the waiting times for the first DLA payment I had a text today saying that my autistic son has been awarded no paperwork yet and don't know rates (scan date 2nd June )

You also need to add child's date of birth and full name as well as reference hope this helps xx

Hi, I'm new to the waiting game as my form was just uploaded last week (I had a DLA home visit where they help you fill it in and upload it to the system there and then)

Did anyone else request a claim form and it not arrive? I originally rang on 28 July but the form didn't come so rang again and a new one was sent 3 weeks later. They have noted the system, but I don't know how this works as its the scan date that counts for backpayment isn't it? I'm used to PIP where it's the date your claim started (i.e. the phone call)

All additional information can be sent to this address. It’s the only one that you can use if you send it with recorded delivery (to avoid it getting lost via the post box).

Any information you send, add the child’s reference number, DOB and full name. If you don’t have their reference number then just use their DOB and full name. Good luck

My scan date was the 2nd June 2023.. Thank you
