Dla waiting times second thread

[Ems1991]

Hi the first thread ended because when it reaches a 1000 comments it will close I thought I would set this up so everyone can talk again

@Sarantfc hope u hear something this week then I’m Friday but haven’t had any letters I did phone tho and the guy did say can take another few weeks but I really hope not x

Does anybody know what happens with tax credits after you've been awarded with DLA? Xx

@Gemconks I’m sure u have to contact them to let them know x

@Gemconksyou still get disability element with them I'm not sure if it's carers credit aswell xx

A few people from the previous us thread rang up and they said a few weeks but were then given a decision a couple of days after ringing so fingers crossed! Try again on Friday & see what they say again. xx

@kerkyra I think there doing renewals the week before the run out I would panic to much as I've seen load in the last conversation get a renewal last minute it is terrible there leaving it so long though xx

@ems1991 what's a disability element? I let them know online, do you think it's worth calling them to let them know? Xx

Yes tell them nd asked for it backdated from your rewards date it's goes with your rate of hc or any other you get extra money for each disabled child so defo call and make sure it's all gone through @Gemconks

Oh okay, I will call them tomorrow. Thank you xx

Evening all,
I posted Dla forms early July, scanned on 15th. 99.9% sure we will get refused as they refused us last year. My sons become more and more difficult to manage and needs so much more extra help. School reduced he’s time table and also he’s been excepted for a EHCP. I rang Wednesday last week to be told in a que.. rang again today to be told it’s with a decision maker.. how long will the Decision maker take? I feel like a pest haha!

@kimcoco21 it's normally a few days at a time I would maybe contact them tomorrow I if you are refused get a mandory reconsider and you can also depute if they don't change which will give you time to get the ehcp but you may find the won't if nursery hours have been reduced xx

Sorry school my little ones only turning 3 sorry xx

@Ems1991 my boy is 6, so full time eduction but only doing 2 and a half hours a day as they can’t manage him. Majority of the time I spend in school with him, either dealing with the meltdowns or attempting to get him an education. The EHCP has been fast tracked due to reduced time table. Yes I definitely will do. Thank you x

I sent in docs at start of June for an address change and replacement license. Could not do it online as not on their system (no car for twenty years).

Got a letter about 3 weeks ago to say its been sent to the medical assessment team.

Oh bloody hell I thought this was a DVLA thread. Sorry.

@Ems1991, thanks hun. X looks like we have been awarded mrc, had no word just checked my bank. X

Just phoned up know still no decision mine is 8 weeks 6 days today they said I should hear this week fingers crossed hope it's good news after this long wait hopefully could do with it as finding it so hard good luck everyone will let use know x

Hi everyone that’s great @Edsgirl I’m still waiting to hear and I don’t want to keep phoning has anyone had any news today or thinking of phoning I’m on 8weeks Friday was wishful thinking and hoping they are getting through them x

@mumof3boz,i was nearly 9 weeks today for me, hopefully no long hun. X

@Edsgirl thank you hopefully not glad u have urs sorted and no more waiting.x

@Princess23 aww it’s annoying when u phone and don’t get any further forward it’s looks like the 9weeks is more likely hope u hear soon x

@mumof3boz, was shocked to be out my overdraft. X😁 thought we'd get lrm, but didn't, its fine. X no going through mandatory reconsideration.

@Edsgirl made up for you ..when was yours scanned on the system if you don’t mind me asking ? X

@edsgirl I'm so happy for you 💗 you must have been awarded on Friday my money isn't in yet it normally takes 3 days from what I've seen did you get the rate you where hoping for? xx@kimcoco21 I Dont think you will have much of a problem there at all but have you got anyone helping you other that the school you should definitely have some sort of specialist xx
