@Mrssnee16 you normally receive a text around the 15 week mark, so maybe you'll relieve a text this week? Xx

This puzzled me but I discovered some people got the first text 10 weeks in not 15 like us people also asking what area do you live in when all Mail goes to Wolverhampton I don’t understand why where you live matters it sure does I’ve seen a few Oct dates been awarded on here some early dates and one the latter x

Thank you

Good luck let us know how you do. Xx

Thank you very much Mrssnee16. My child is due to turn 3 soon and I feel they will be on case well before the DLA is back. Do you know if there is anything I can do in the meantime regarding the work related activities. Even a meeting would be very hard to attend, my sons sensory processing difficulties mean even a phone call can trigger him at the moment let alone dragging him into the environment of a job centre.

As he is still 2 your work related commitments will still be zero, apart from the odd meeting with job coach. When is he 3? When my son turned 3 last September, my work coach altered my commitments as I had sent off his dla forms. I would get in touch with your job coach asap and let them know you're waiting for a dla claim to be sorted and they may suspend any commitments after your son turns 3 if you haven't heard from dla by then

Anyone else not able to even get to the point of being on hold on the phone? Just keeps getting cut off 😕

Try calling from a withheld number (put 141 in front of the number) x
