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

The date it was scanned x

Sarahdestiny · 02/02/2024 06:45

@PMI anywhere from 15 weeks up to 20 but currently saying 18 weeks

Gracie1909 · 02/02/2024 06:24

@Mastersstudent83

I just wanted to post on here to those of you who don't get the answer you were hoping for, don't give up. I applied 20/04/2023, sent detailed explanation of daily support needed, diagnosis reports, previous school reports etc. Waited 19 weeks. Claim was denied. Sent for MR. This time sent all evidence again plus more comprehensive explanation of daily support needed and supporting letter from highly specialist SALT. Waited for 3 weeks. Claim denied again. I was devastated but knew there must have been a mistake.

Sent all evidence to tribunal service (14 documents in total), lodged my appeal in December. Finally this week I received a phone call from a senior decision maker offering HRC LRM before tribunal. He was at a complete loss as to how the claim had been refused twice and apologised profusely. He said it was clear my daughter needed significant care throughout the day and night. The award has been backdated to the day I called for the forms. I know it's soul destroying when you get bad news but take it all the way to court if you have to. Hopefully it won't come to that for any of you.

@Siobhangrace I've heard anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks with a DM

Rocco85878587 · 01/02/2024 23:42

Same scan date as me. Finally rang up today my little was awarded high rate care. Low mobility. Good luck shouldn't be to much longer. I never got a text neither but was awarded 30th Jan. X

Gracie1909 · 01/02/2024 23:03

@Siobhangrace I'm sure they can have them anywhere upto 2 weeks from what I've saw on here x

Gracie1909 · 01/02/2024 21:52

My daughter got awarded until the day before her 17th birthday, so I'm presuming that's when we have to apply for PIP. And it all starts again. Thank god for these forums to help us all along the way 💖💖 xxx

Gracie1909 · 01/02/2024 21:50

Asif the forms arnt hard enough! And In between all this having a child with extremely challenging behaviours and still trying to sort everything out is super hard. Life's tough 😫 x

Gracie1909 · 01/02/2024 21:49

With universal as they take me and my partner's earnings into account, we don't receive alot off them currently, so if they count the dla payment I will now receive each month for my daughter, will they class that as income and they will take more off us but we technically wud get it back off DLA?

Dla isn't counted as income, the only thing they take pound for pound is carers allowance

@GirlMamasClub Keep us updated on what they say, fingers crossed you get your answers soon x

@Margot82x @UsernameUnavailable12 thank you both. Sounds like we could be waiting till end of March at this rate. So frustrating the wait times for these claims. A house sale goes through quicker than this!

Nataliepb90 · 01/02/2024 14:00

I've just called with a scan date of 10th Oct and was told I should have a response week of 19th Feb and to send any extra evidence recorded delivery to make sure it gets to them in time to be looked at

What address did you use? I heard its different if recorded delivery?

jess12345678 · 01/02/2024 19:26
