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 good luck 🤞❤️Xxx

Has anyone done a change of circumstances? Forms were recieved 28th September still not heard anything yet it's been 17 weeks and counting...

Yes mine was received 3rd Oct. Someone upthread said theirs was received about the same time as mine, and when they called last week were told not to expect an answer til end of Feb

Mine is with the decision maker now, fingers crossed to everyone waiting to hear.

@Mumof406 eeek good luck 🤞 xxx

@miracle081216 thankyou

Good luck @Mumof406 mines been with them since last Wednesday x

@Liveandlove91 I'm really not holding out much hope if I'm honest, my son has a diagnosis of sm and social anxiety disorder,waiting on asd assesment so didn't send much evidence in other than the pediatrician letter, only been at secondary school since Sept but had a month off due to stress and anxiety, waiting on a ehcp assesment too

@Liveandlove91 hope you hear soon, fingers crossed for you.

My 6 year old son got excluded again on Monday 4th time. I'm stick of it tbh he isn't getting the help he needs and I had to have days off work without pay it's very stressful. He has just started his 1st lot of.meds xx fingers crossed for you hun

Mine been with them since 16th of October still not heard from them

There now working on claims from the 15th November apparently.

Just incase that helps anyone.

I've just had a SALT report for DD1 (16) that states she has severely disordered expressive and receptive language and is on the 0.1st percentile. I think I'll have to send that in to DWP to add to her bundle.

@miracle081216 it's a lot to deal with, feel like I have been on auto picket for last 3/4 years and now eyes starting to open and realise something has to give am just knackered but all in good faith xxx

@Helpimfalling ohhh that's good news !! What date was yours filed in the system? Xxxx

Okay so if there working on forms dated the 15th so am thinking by next Saturday I should find out if my child's was recieved on the18th. Has to be surly xxxxx

Thanks for this thread. I can manage my expectations now!

Our form was received 5th January, so hope to get an answer by end of March.

Then I will need to start the renewal for my eldest son….

Hi daisybrown37, my form was received on 30th December so will be similar timescales for both. I’ve been watching this thread too, and agree it does help manage expectations! Good luck x

Yep, we're 13.5 weeks here. So frustrating. I hope you hear soon! I was told a month ago the waiting times are supposed to be 16 weeks. I'm guessing that's extended now 🙄 keep us updated, fingers crossed for you

@Liveandlove91 and breatheee❤️ amazing news! No help on uc situ though xxx

@Liveandlove91 so pleased for you

Tell universal credit about the DLA being awarded, and they will add the disabled child element on to it for you. Just do this via your journal or phone them.
Congratulations!

31st December so I have another five weeks until mine is even looked at

Mine was filed on the 31st too. Is yours a first claim or renewal? Mine is a renewal (claim runs out on 22nd Feb)
