DLA Wait Times - Part 28

Sorry another question🤦🏼‍♀️ there's so much you need to know!

When you book days and trips out there's a section for SEN child and carer (proof of care status will be required) are we entitled to select this as we receive dla or not? It's all very confusing and good isn't my best friend

@Nicole313 I'm glad your child eventually got what they deserved congrats x

Hi every one just a quick update. So I put a claim in for my daughter back in May and got declined, I got the statement of reasons and it didnt look like they even looked at the evidence I sent I then did an Mr and I had a call today and have been awarded hrc and lrm. Please fight for what your kids deserve good luck everyone x

Im 14/09 and still waiting too. Will phone Monday as im seeing later dates having decisions....

@Amycroft I did my UC in 1st Feb and not had any response yet either. I'm going to write again on monday. I'm glad it isn't just me waiting as I had heard there normally quick so I was being paranoid! Keep me updated please if you ring xx

@Siobhangrace they have to continue to make payments for the entirety of the renewal process, so they could receive the renewal forms a day before the deadline and take 4 months to deal with it but still has to continue to make payments until a decision is made ☺️

@Amycroft Ring on Monday xx

@Mariehanna im guessing it's juat different for everyone then I wrote a note on there moths ago too and never got a reply should I call Monday or juat keep adding a note

@Amycroft. I made the change of circumstances and then wrote a message to confirm I did it right had a message within that hour sayin it will be verified then I said I wanted to request back pay to the date dla back dated it to then Friday had a msg to say the amount they owe me from the date I phoned up for forms xxx

How bloody frustrating… every single person tells you something new it’s ridiculous.:::: almost depends how the dm feels that day!

@Amycroft Not DLA but my Son's PIP was the same. No acknowledgement for a week. I sent a any clarification? Type message and next day had a letter stating the change and they had backdated me attached on my journal xx

This was last week. X

I thought my above message was a reply to someone. I have never used this before 😅🤦‍♀️

Scan date 07.09.23
I have been watching for a couple months..
Here is my situation!

Called on 18/01 to check as people on here had started to get payments with similar dates.
Was told was with a DM since 12/01
Got a call from DM 21/01 asking a few questions etc.. she requested 2 pieces of evidence from me and will make her decision that day. I confirmed this asking 'without the evidence?' she then confirmed 'yes, I make the decision and a letter will be there in 2 weeks, the evidence is for if they ever review they will want that evidence.
Called the next day for a recorder delivery address for a man to say no decision was made and she will be doing that when the evidence is in! Confusing. So I explained what I had been told and he said it will be done automat as soon as evidence arrives!
Called on 30/01 to check all evidence had been relieved and a update. Told me all evidence scan in on the 24/01 but no update. ??? So not automatic then.

Called lastly on 01/02 and they said still in DMs 'priority pile' but she has asked emailed to speed it up and has told her to call me or will herself when decision comes through.

So fed up or that ring wait tone. All the different answers, if this is all just for a decline I will not understand. Get the impression she is now also on holiday 🤣 as she said she wasn't in and will get when she is back!

Sorry for the lengthy post. My patience is wearing thin, anxiety kicking in and feeling a bit lonely with my dates 😅

It's so annoying they can't reply

My son have been awarded yesterday but only for a year when did I fill the forms out for a renewal might as well do now seeing has it takes months for a answer 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Amycroft what did you put on yours love I’ve heard it does take some time for some people copy and paste it and send it again

Yep. Still waiting here! Scan date 7/09/23

No one seems to be that late. 😅

@126t yes x

Is anyone still on tax credits and get DLA please

Likely to be around 5 working days ish

@ASDMumma85 ooh same scan date as me. I’ve had 2 letters and 1 text also. 🤞🏻 for us both x

I was awarded Wednesday no payment as of yet, does anyone no when it would be likely to arrive or anyone else been awarded Wednesday and know x

Hi, long term lurker. My scan date is 12/10. Fingers crossed we all get some answers soon. I've had 2 letters and 1 text.

Do a universal credit calculation, it will input your earnings and your rent etc and asks about any children you claim disability for and it will tell you if/what you would be entitled too

Hi all, we were awarded yesterday
my Question is, myself and my partner both work and earn well (still the daily struggles of never having anything left at the end of the month) so this money will have a huge impact on my eldest’s needs..
what else should we be looking at claiming? I’ve looked at working tax credits but can’t figure out what the criteria is.. any help? Thanks all

I rang for update yesterday my scan date is 23/9, was with DM but awaiting more information from school. Im even more anxious now because when I applied my son was in primary school now in secondary and they no nothing about all his past situations :(
