My scan date is 30th may so fingers crossed I hear something soon 🤞🏼glad you got yours sorted, waiting driving me crazy. I rang last week at 16 weeks and told they can take up to 18 weeks now. Guessing they just adding time on to stop people ringing back.

Hi all,

I sent my claim by the post office, scan date 29th May.

Just been awarded, as seen money in my bank account this morning from DLA. It looks like a back payment.

So far I have received one letter with scan date and two texts, last correspondence was in august, a text saying we're still looking at the claim.

Good luck everyone still waiting, don't be discouraged by no news as seen by my case, you could still be awarded.

Kerrie245 · 26/09/2023 09:54

Hi,
if a claim is declined how do you find out? By text or letter ?
my scan date is 25/05 and heard nothing yet. Anyone with similar dates ?

Thenoseymother · 25/09/2023 16:41

20 week wait! Blimey 😧

Billiesmum · 25/09/2023 12:23

Amazing news at long last! 🙌🏻

Mumofkidsx3 · 25/09/2023 11:15

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Just got through on phone, eldest son awarded on Friday, medium rate care, lower rate mobility, lump sum back payment should come on Wednesday, plus it’s valid til day before his 17th bday in 2026. First regular payment of £380 will arrive 24/10 then every 4 weeks. Whoo hoo I’m made up both boys got what they deserved. Good luck to everyone that is still waiting ❤️ for reference my scan date was 25/05

ladyKJ85 · 25/09/2023 11:11

I called up on Thursday to chase my son's application (scan date 6 June) to be told they are looking at up to 20 week waiting time now 😫

Billiesmum · 25/09/2023 01:03

I will be lucky to hear back before Christmas I’m going to give them a call tomorrow. Good luck

Mumofkidsx3 · 24/09/2023 23:05

@Billiesmum i got medium rate care and low mobility rate for my 9 year old but still waiting on 14 year olds claim, it’s with the decision maker I’m going to ring at 9am tomorrow and ask.

Billiesmum · 24/09/2023 15:56

Thank you 😊 mine is the 29th June. Have you heard anything back yet?

Mumofkidsx3 · 24/09/2023 01:52

@Billiesmum scan date is the date they received your application and scan it into their system, I sent mine recorded so I knew the date was 25/05 from the tracking but it was also on the first letter I got.

Mumofkidsx3 · 24/09/2023 01:49

@Holly03 I rang at 9 am and got through after 45 mins wait.

Holly03 · 23/09/2023 07:40

No this is what I'm doing I'm pressing those options every time. I really can't understand why its so busy.

Billiesmum · 23/09/2023 00:08

I sent mine back 22nd June. I’ve received two letters stating the same thing in the past few weeks. I haven’t rang up yet
