DLA Wait times part 20… (2023)

Scan date 18.07 rang yesterday said is not even with a decision maker yet she said it shouldn't be much longer 🤞

@Billie1993 im calling 9am on the dot 😅 mine went with a case manager yesterday morning so hopefully some news maybe no decision as of yet but we will see are you calling hun? Xxxxx

Congratulations ladies well done to you both!!.I think if yoir muk claims carers it will affect your award of uc but double check lovely
I'm so happy for u both

Scan date 7.7, awarded last Thursday which was a day off 18 weeks. Confirmation letter arrived yesterday, middle rate care, low rate mobility.

Can I ask please, my child and I live with my DM who shares his care with me. I earn a little too much to claim Carers Allowance and have just been migrated on to UC from Tax credits. Can DM claim Carers Allowance ( she meets the general criteria) or will this affect me claiming carers element on UC?

Good morning guys
Scan date the 10.07.23 recieved a payment into the bank today think my lo has been awarded middle rate care what a wait glad its finally over thanks 4 all the updates kept me going over the time. Good luck to everyone waiting to hear and mrs.

Hi I hope u don't mind me joining in.My scan date is tye 14/8 so a long way for me yet.I didn't send off any evidence but the school is now doing me a supporting letter to send off to them.My daughter is 6 in year 2 she can't read or write amd her understanding of language is very bad she has no stranger danger and will go off with anyone.The ALENCO at her school os convinced she is ADHD not the hyperactive type the attention deficit type.She isn't evan at nursery level and her teacher has said she is really struggling now.I have a meeting with the advisory teacher from the council on the 24th with her school also.We have agreed a unit is bed for her and I am now waiting fir school psychologist to get in touch to see what's available to her.she is verbal and thrives at sport she is a tough case and to the outside world seems like she has no problems but she can't evan write her own name.I really dint think she will get dla but I will take to MR with more evidence if she gets declined I did write on the form to please contact her school and they will tell you all her needs

Hey all just parking here for updates on dates ... scan date 14/8 second text 7/11 my 5 year old has asd and possibly now adhd ... I rang them up last week to inform them my little guys school has said mainstream school isn't helping him and they don't think he can do the work going on from year two so we are now putting papers in to transfer him to a additional needs school ... would they take that into account ive also sent echp off and the senco teacher at school filled in the paperwork for me .. still worried they will decline it tho :(

Thank you for the new thread @Mummyrach13 you’re a star ⭐️

called up on the 7/11 to be told not with a DM yet, called this morning and was told that it’s finally with a DM. Hopefully i don’t have to wait to long I wanted to call tomorrow but im to scared to 🫣, @Rebeccanew & @Pumpkins3 & @Sskanf are you lovely laddies calling tomorrow ? X

Thanks for the new thread. Just parking here for the updates.

@Sskanf they didn’t say hun x

Was yours with a DM @Clairexdx

Thanks for the new thread. Scan date 14/7. Last text 9/10 I rung again today lol and they said it will be done at any time this week! I’m gonna call Friday if I don’t hear anything. Good luck to all x

They will ask your reference number (will be on the letter saying they received your forms) then ask your child's name and your name then questions for security purposes, ie what bank you bank with, address and postcode etc.. xxx

Good Luck like myself still waiting. hopefully we get some good news soon x

My daughter had an ILP (individual learning plan) but this wasn't enough, after 3 years of struggling in mainstream ( Covid held us back) I requested an EHCP from the local authority and the school provided all the details of support they'd given and my daughter was finally awarded an EHCP (July ) and has just received a placement in a setting that's perfect for her and with one to one support. Not many parents are aware they can request the EHCP so thought I'd bring it to your attention just incase :)

Thanks for the new thread. Scan date 25/7, last txt was 23/10, yorkshire. Applied for my 9 year old autistic son. Patiently waiting...16 weeks tomorrow. Starting to drag pretty bad now. Good luck everyone.

Thank you, I was thinking of ringing again tomorrow but it literally would be my luck I'd get the same bloke answer again 🤣🤣 I've seen a few awards from the 27/7 on here and Facebook and a couple jn early Aug. It makes no sense

Parking here for updates - thanks for new thread so helpful while I wait x

What information do I need to give when I ring I keep trying I’m on call for an hour then I have to give up as something else comes up..
scan date 14/7
text date 9/10

Good luck everyone xx
