DLA wait times part 19 (2023)

Aww bless you @Asdmummyhere i think you will be fine and will have good news.
Have you looked at family fund? I don’t know much about it but I seen someone was given £1000 towards a safety bed for their child. X

Thanks for the new thread scan date 27/7 manchester

I only waited 20 minutes this morning but I also believe some people have waited a lot longer first thing too. I don't think anyone has managed to get through any other time quite quickly, seems more people get cut off later in the afternoon xx

@Mummyrach13 thank you lovely. I always said it wasn't about the money but since applying my boy has gotten worse and he really needs a safe space at bedtime. The beds are so expensive it's simply impossible for me to get one. I've had to take my bed down and sleeping on just the mattress because he was climbing on everything, falling off the bed on purpose and laughing until he ended up in hospital with a fractured leg. I have an empty room waiting for him just need all the safe furniture in there for him xx

This is me also! I really hope its soon @Asdmummyhere xxx

Parking here well behind everyone still 😂😭

@Binks90 adhd and autism here ♥️ x

@Asdmummyhere i keep looking out for your updates, I think it’s worse once you know it’s with a DM mine was for nearly a week. Fingers crossed for a positive award for you xx

I'm tempted to call again tomorrow. Seems quick first thing, but of course that might be jumping the gun. What time is best to call later on?

Congratulations lovely. I've been on pins since finding out it's with a decision maker lol it's great you sent no evidence off and got awarded. Just goes to show they do read the forms and the more information you put in it the better. Will you be calling to find out rates or waiting for the letter? xx

Hey! I’m new to posting but have been watching this thread like a hawk. This thread has helped me so much so I thought I’d share to give everyone who are still waiting some hope!

my scan date was 5/7
last text 2/10

got a text today to say he has been awarded! So grateful!

I sent in No evidence what so ever just filled out the forms and put my gps and health visitors phone number on if they needed any information from them….i have a 2.5 year old son who is non verbal and displaying autism characteristics, undiagnosed at the moment but gp has now made the referral since turning 2 and a half.

good luck to all waiting :)

@Smallhall100 Goodluck hun, keep me updated if you get a decision please 😊 x

Scan date 6/7
Last text 2/10
East Sussex
Called today, on hold 1 and 1/2 hours
Told it's with decision maker!

@Mumto2sengirlsxx We have flat feet to, on prescription insoles for them which I did include in the form but didn't have the prescription for them, they are mentioned by Physio though in her report I think.

18 weeks & 1 day since the last text & Thursday would of made 18 weeks since scan date

@Doymum that is amazing 🤣🤣🤣🤣 love that xxx

@Rebeccanew honestly the closer it gets the more I wonder why I even bothered applying because I'm so convinced now it's going to be declined! Xxx

How many weeks was your wait altogether xx

@MangoPepsiLover my daughter Just got accepted for her hypermobility, she scored 9/9 on Beighton scale but she's worse on lower limbs, elbows and hips... her spine also curves to the right and bladder issues. She just got HRC and LRM she also has suspected adhd and flat feet xxx

I shouldn’t laugh but just had a text on my phone, I ran so fast I knocked the cat and my son flying only to find out it was a special offer from Pizza Hut 😂😂😂😂😂

@MangoPepsiLover i had never heard of hyper mobility before, my son struggles bad with his hands I can’t imagine how much worse it is in your lower limbs. Praying we all get what our children deserve

Congratulations, this gives me hope. Same scan date, sent detailed sen reports from 2 nurseries, salt review for ehcp and other little bits xx

Well done @SENMUMSHA ❤️ @Doymum @Tmxx surely has to be soon for us and k hope we all get the award we deserve for our children! But I feel you when it gets closer you just feel more decline don’t you! But I will do a MR most definitely if I do get declined xxxxx

@Doymum Hypermobility here to, severely in lower limbs, she doesn't walk far at all thats why Physio said to apply.

Also diagnosed Dyspraxia, and suspected dyslexia.

I have applied before and been rejected, so thats why I think it'll be a no. Also people on here who have DC I'd say are worse than mine getting a no.

New claim for my toodler diagnosed ASD

Start of claim is 24/8
11 weeks since rang for the forms

(( Scan date 4/10 )) ANYONE ELSE have same scan date or near mine ??

Only been 5 weeks since scan date
Not recieved any text messages yet

Renewel for my son diagnosed Adhd/ASD
his ends 1st febuary 2024
Forms sent 13/10
said i wont hear back until the final week its due to end hoping he gets his award again 🙏🤞

The wait is feeling long already they told me i wont hear back until the first week of febuary 2024 for BOTH 😏🙄so not got much hope from my side but will be putting in MR for both if decelined as both are diagnosed and have a lot of needs day/night fingers crossed .

Congratulations glad your wait it over!!

heyyy! Been a watcher since summer. Scan date 6/7. Literally just woken up to a text informing me my son has been awarded , haven’t called them as of yet to find out the rates and I hardly sent any evidence in (nursery SEND information / last visit from paperwork) . Good luck to everyone waiting as these thread really kept me sane ❤️
