Waiting time for DLA Third Thread

@Jneill2021 Aye. Even if it was an unexpected leave, you would have thought they would hand out their pile lol. Oh well, hoping that means we know for sure this week.

@Blabbermouth93 have you heard anything from uc? Xx

@DeludedWench that's terrible you think they would of had to get there claims all done before the date of there leave xx

@LovingLanz5 Aw thanks, fingers crossed we both hear in the next week!

Hi@loopiluna
Mine was the day before, 14th October I was told today by a manager it should be done by next week the latest. So fingers crossed for you.

@KarenW1984
Brilliant news for you though. Hope it allows things to be slightly easier for you all.

Hi, I've been following all your progress for a few weeks now but first I've posted. My sons renewal forms were received on the 15th Oct, so fingers crossed I don't wait too much longer. Hoping everyone still waiting gets good news!

@LovingLanz5 I must admit I wasn't expecting to hear anything until the new year

@KarenW1984
2 weeks before being scanned on to system oh wow. I spoke to a manager today who explained the process etc and said staff shortages bla but assured me it would be dealt with ASAP next week by the latest, as when I spoke to someone yesterday she said January hell no was I accepting that.

@LovingLanz5 no it wasn't an SEN claim. They called me yesterday morning as they were querying why they received it late. Which they didn't. It wasn't scanned onto the system for 2 weeks after it was received. She said on the phone she was making a decision. I called a few hours later and decision was made.

Called today and found out my case worker only went on blooming leave!

So the very lovely, helpful gentleman has pushed our case through urgently to be put into someone else's cases as we have been waiting 10 weeks, nearly a week with the case worker on leave. He said I have been very polite throughout, as seen on my notes, so he hopes as he has pushed it through to the manager, urgently, someone will work on it today.

Luckers Can you call the secretary and ask for the letter to be corrected?

Hi just asking for a bit of advice to be honest...
I was still waiting for my son's Autism diagnosis report when I had sent the form off and said that I would send it when received.
Well I received it yesterday and i saw a bit which stated bath times weren't a problem although they are.. my son refuses to get out of the bath and it can take absolutely ages to try and get him out (which I stated in my form).
I do not remember the doctor asking me about bath times when questioning me?

What do I do now as they obviously want that diagnosis and I don't want them to think I've lied in my form which I haven't 😩

@KarenW1984
Do you mind me asking was it a SEN claim?

@KarenW1984
Thats brilliant news. They received mine of the 14th October, I called yesterday and they said another 2 weeks... weird that.. I'll be calling again today and putting my foot down...

Still waiting for my decision. They recieved our claim on the 29th Sept =_=

Good morning, forms were received on 16th October and got awarded yesterday

Still with the case worker with me. Been with them since Friday, so it's got me worried.

I hope others are getting better news!

Good Morning All, any updates?

Just spoke to someone and they told me that they are working on claims up until 5th October this week

Received my form 4th October. The wait is killing me… hope to hear something back today!

Just called and it confused me lol.

So the gentleman said the case worker was requesting more information from a third party, but he mentioned the birth certificate I had sent, and got back. Something about its scanned to be put on electronically, and that case workers don't see the hard copy? But he thinks this is what the request is connected to?

But he is going to email the case worker to confirm what this information is. But I'm probably going to call later today lol.

O god lol I updated everything Thursday when I found out and messaged her she messaged me back Friday what reply did they give u ? That's mine lol xx

I’ve been waiting still from last week haha xxx

@Blabbermouth93 thanks relieved ain't the word lol yh ino lol the woman said she was dealing with sorting it all and changing my payments how quick she works I don't no lol xx
