@DalesDoll1 have you not heard anything?

I've had a couple of holding letters and a couple of texts, and nothing since the last one, I think the last message was 8th Jan, so I know it's in the system. The waiting is really stressful isn't it?

My scan date 4/11 was a weekend

Oh interesting! Does this mean they work through the weekend making decisions too do you think?

I went to ring a couple of days ago but when it said don't ring before 20 weeks I panicked and put the phone down.

Scan date 02/10 so I'm hoping not much longer to wait 🤞🏼 I'm guessing nobody has a scan date that's over a weekend so seeing people awarded with a scan date of 29/09 is only one day before?? If that makes sense. 😅

I think it goes from the Wednesday after the scan date if that helps, I might be wrong but I think that is case x

My son has been in receipt of DLA for about 12 years now & I have never received a text about claims, so don’t lose hope if you don’t get one! X

What day of the week was your scan date? x

Siobhangrace · 02/02/2024 09:01

So annoying that they don’t always send the text and can award without text
thank you keep me updated. 🤞

@Siobhangrace gives me hope others around my date are still waiting too.

I am going to ring at 9 see if I can get an answer so I’m not riddled with anxiety over the weekend. Will update when I know.

Back pay will go in over night rather than a same day transfer. Unless you're with monzo and it let's you get it the day before!

Good luck everyone still waiting. A glass of wine helps at night 🤷‍♀️

Siobhangrace · 02/02/2024 08:28

morning! So I rang yesterday and mine was with a DM 🙏🏽
so annoying! Hopefully will know more Monday I don’t wanna ring again today 🤦🏻‍♀️
all 3 of ours could be the same hopefully! 🤞
@Downtoyou @mez2004

TamGirl89 · 02/02/2024 08:27

That's a good point. Can back pay go in anytime through the day or just overnight? Anyone know?

Still heard nothing. I don't want to call because the texts say not to and I would feel guilty lol and I don't have much patience for being kept on hold.

Can the backpay hit your account at any time of day?

You sound just like me 😂

mez2004 · 02/02/2024 08:21

@Siobhangrace Any news on yours lovely?

mez2004 · 02/02/2024 08:20

@Downtoyou your not on your own I’m 26/09 and still waiting! A lot of middle/ late Octobers have been awarded now so it’s frustrating but I’m trying to hold on to hope. I’m not sure if backpay can go in throughout the day but I’m checking constantly lol! Good luck.

Question about scan dates just so I'm sure...

Is the scan date the one that says on the first letter "Thank you for your claim for Disability Living Allowance. We got it on 29/09/2023" so the 29th is the scan date?

Thanks everyone!

Yes 29th is the scan date x

Hi does anyone know if the wait time goes from the date that stamped on the form or the day they were scanned?

It goes from the date stamped on the form if you rang up and requested it (I assume you have) and then returned It within 6 weeks from that date
