DLA wait times part 19 (2023)

@MangoPepsiLover @Tmxx i think mine will be a decline, never applied before but my son has a few problems and was advised to do it. Since sending the application he was diagnosed with ASD and just last week had his ADHD assessment. He’s also been diagnosed with hyper mobility which is causing a lot of pain in his hands but not knowing how to film out the forms I didn’t put it down. I’m waiting for the reports and also adhd assessment to come back just Incase I need to do an MR. I just feel this is all taking so long and to be honest I’m still coming to terms with all his diagnosis’s I think I definitely had my head in the sand and just assumed my son was the “typical 3rd child the youngest etc etc” it wasn’t until he started a new school because we moved that the teachers kept calling me in 9 months later and here we are. Anyway sorry about that rant 😂

Just parking myself here to support you lovely lot.
Can't offer much advice as I'm new to all of it too, but I will try if I can. Just here wishing you all good news

Me neither! But it makes it feel like the wait won't be as long now 🤣🤣 xxx

Iv never even looked at it like that you know so if no scan dates on weekend that means onto the next dates? Xxxxxx

I think mine will be a decline to hun but we can only try as we know best if our kids require more care than others! If your worried about not making the Mr in time due to post I'd definitly regularly ring! I don't think i will do Mr if mine is a no because I physically don't have it in me to keep feeling like this! Xx

100% they don't scab weekends so would have that nice jump from the 07/07 to the 10/07 being awarded!! I've seen on Facebook page 6th July getting a phone call yesterday from dm so hopefully 07/07 tomorrow being awarded then 10th Thursday!? 🤣🤣 am I getting ahead of myself! It's just all I think about I need a hobby to occupy myself xxx

I'm not calling until the 18 week mark which is next Wednesday, but I think it's going to be a no for us anyway so I'm not holding my breath.

Post here is ridiculously slow, as in I got a letter dated end of September today so I'm not certain I won't miss MR deadline if I don't call.

@Tmxx i don’t think I’ve ever seen a weekend scan date, I honestly think they don’t scan on weekends

Such a good question! Does anyone know how this would work!?

@Doymum just mentioned the scan dates 08/07 and 09/07 was on the weekend so if you have your claim scanned 07/07 would the next date they work on be 10/07 after doing the 07/07 scan dates!?

Hope this makes sense!

@Doymum you'd think that was the case because none get scanned on a weekend xx

@Rebeccanew @Doymum @Tmxx yes I'm the 6th so 18 weeks on Thursday. I called last Thursday and was told another 2 weeks to be allocated. Called today because of all the awards yesterday and had a lovely lady who said it had been passed on to someone but no time scale. I'm going to call Thursday at 18 weeks and hope for the best xx

No idea actually hun never thought of it like that! I know they are looking at claims on weekends but not sure now you've said that haha! I reaply really hope that's how it works because that means even sooner 🤞🤞xx

@Tmxx @Doymum maybe may be the end the week it picks up I really do hope I think we’ve waited long enough now! I’ll be ringing tomorrow and then again Friday! I’m gonna keep on the case! But when I rang yesterday they did say I was so close to a decision maker and to keep checking bank etc I really hope our wait is over soon! Xxxx

ohh @Asdmummyhere i would be the same I’d be checking my phone constantly lol xxxxxx

@Asdmummyhere oh no that’s got to be a nightmare, did they give you any indication when you might hear? Are you the beginning of July?

You are the 6th am I right!? If so that's amazing that it's with dm! Gives me hope for mine being really soon 11/07xx

Hoping they get right threw to the 9th/10th July this week to know im early next week 🤣 xx

@Tmxx the 8/9 are a weekend so surely they don’t scan in on those dates? So we should be after the 7th or does it not work like that?

I am on edge since finding out it's with a DM, trying to keep myself occupied but constantly checking my phone 🤣

@Rebeccanew definitly slowed right down again! Was really hoping they would get up to roughly your date! Or if not the 10th at least was hoping they'd be at the 9th by the end of this week but doesn't seem like they will be! 🥲 xxx

@Doymum you are the same date as rebeccanew! Was hoping you 2 would be hearing by Friday so id know I'd be the start next week but I really don't think it's going to be the case with how slow this week is going xxx

This week definitely seems to be going slow and also maybe it’s just me but not hearing many awards coming through. I’m waiting till I start seeing 7/7 being awarded then I will start panicking. I’m the 10/7 but the 8,9 was the weekend so I’m praying I hear the week I can’t do this much longer.

@Shezza8507 i defo think you’ll hear by the end the week hun good luck ❤️

@Tmxx i don’t know if it’s me but I feel like they are back at a slow pace xxxx

@dupemethrice scan date is the day they received your forms 😁

@Rebeccanew I feel like it's Thursday already but it's only Tuesday! Slowest week so far!! Xxxx

@Billie1993 I really hope it's any day now , called this morning but unfortunately it's not even been allocated yet to a dm! Was told it should be imminently , I'll be phoning back Friday. Sick of the wait now tbh. 🤞 Yours won't be too much longer either!

@Rebeccanew I hope so she turns 16 on the 13th so probably have to wait for pip don't know how it all works I've been told for years to apply for dla but just tried to deal with it myself but now she's got worse and more health problems

Hi, I posted on the other thread not realising there was a new one. What is the scan date? is it when I phoned for the forms or when I sent them back?

Ahh that's brilliant
I was sent an email asking for my bank details from family fund to receive the grant. Just thought I'd have got it by now
