Dla waiting times

[Suzzie101]

hi! New to this all but I started a new claim for my daughter and it was received and stamped on 30th October, reaching 9 weeks and no response as of yet, any ideas of the waiting time ?

@Liveandlove91 that’s ok it’s hard to keep track of everyone’s isn’t it! Please keep me posted. Thinking of you xxx

@miracle081216 have you received payment yet?

@Mumsheree no.. I’m thinking next Tuesday?

Will probably be tomorrow or Thursday xx

It's bacs payment back pay so should be 3-5days I'm hoping wed or Thurs should be this week

@Dizzydream @Mumsheree oooh ok thanks didn’t know it was 3-5 days! Xxx

Has anyone given them a call today and heard a date that they are up to? Or anything different to what I heard yesterday? X

No I haven't bothered. What date was yours received? Am going by @mumshree saying 18th will be around end of next week xx

I need a catch up, what is this about back pay? I have tried reading back but always get distracted with kids etc. Backdated money? Would you not just get it all at once for do you get a weekly payment and then bits added on until the back-payment as been paid? Xxx

@mumof41992 no it’s back paid to the date you phoned for the form (if you did) if you printed at home it’s back paid to the day they received it. If on other benefits and are entitled to more due to the DLA they will be back paid too xxx

Awww I didn't realise. Is that just a 3-5working days or can that take weeks xxxxx

@mumof41992 it went into my account today so it took 3 working days (awarded Saturday) xxx

Hi, new here. First time claim for my 11 year old son,My forms were received 11th Nov the waiting is unbareable.

@Mumof406 good luck 🤞 yours should be any day now! Mine was received 9th November awarded Saturday x

@miracle081216 thankyou, fingers crossed, I've never knew it could be so stressful waiting to find out.

@Mumof406 it’s so stressful isn’t it! Try and remain positive 🙏🤞x

@miracle081216 so happy for your dd!! Hope the extra help makes her life and your life/family's life a little better by any means❤️ xxx

I'm guessing will probably be waiting another 2 weeks to hear back for my child going off times for people who have their decision this week they recieved it 22nd nov so 10 week this coming Monday

I'm still waiting to hear back its a joke xx

@mumof41992 thank you! 🙏 any news? Keeping everything crossed for you and everyone else waiting can’t be much longer now 🤞 xxx

@miracle081216 thankyou, hopefully know soon, good luck everyone waiting to hear

No not a thing yet am going to call on Monday if I haven't heard anything. Read loads on here and am in fear cause I didn't send any evidence as I didn't have any due to Covid the amount some people send and got refused so am like no chance in hell will ds be rewarded feel a bit of a failure for not trying harder and I don't even know yet. But after a hard 2 years suffering with depression I have now been to the doctors and received pills after putting myself in the back burner so positive week ❤️ xxxx

I'm a bit like that. Hearing about what people have put in their reports and what they've sent and now I'm kicking myself feeling like ive not put enough now and elaborated (going to be my own fault). Keep re reading what I've sent in the form and don't feel like I've got a cat in hells chance. I'm already prepping for a MR. Joined a Facebook group yesterday which is quite helpful too. Keep trying to put it to the back of my mind but then I'm like ooo ill just check see what others have said lol x

@Ruth1986 @mumof41992 The only evidence I had was 1 piece of paper (telephone consultation) with CAMHS I honestly thought we would be refused but she was awarded HRC so don’t stress it’s not always about evidence if school back you up then that really helps I’m hoping for you both!
On antidepressants too recently so well done for taking that step it’s so hard with everything we have to deal with to take care of ourselves too! Xxx❤️

I'm going to call Friday if not had a text by then 🙃 . Xx fingers crossed 🤞 hope u all hear back soon
