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 ?

@Mum2Two91 wow up to 18 weeks?! That's such a long wait! That would take me almost to when my claim runs out anyway as I would of had to renew by then.
Good luck with yours, you should hear soon surely x

About to 40 minutes hold no one answer call from DLA .

@Amyxkx I done it over the phone the day I got a payment into my bank and sent some more evidence, his independent assessor report from his blue badge and another 3 pages just going into a bit more detail about his needs out and about etc. Not heard anything back yet, its been 4 weeks since we called up to put the mr in x

Ilovemychildren123. Even they contact my doctor as will and my doctor send information hope will enough. They do contact who they wants . Thanks xx

Sorry to jump in - Ive just finished my renewal. How did you all send it? Im feeling like it should be tracked, signed for the lot.... it is SO much work isn't it.

@OutlookStalking I would definitely send recorded delivery so you can track when it was signed for good luck xx

Spoke to them this morning - information I sent has been received and we are now with a case worker - I hope we all get our decisions soon the wait is killing me now xx

Posted! tracked and signed for and next day :)

On one hand it feels a huge weight has been lifted (I've spent several months struggling to find time/energy to fill in the form)

On the other hand it's being replaced by the fear that we may not be awarded as before -

Our last award was in covid - they don't interview the children do they? My autistic child would argue she is completely fine (she is in her eyes.......)

Has anyone heard anything yet xx

Hi, no- nothing at all. I am going to call them within the hour x

Still with case manager. We must have the same one lol she said could be another two weeks!!! I did put down for mobility just incase it took this long as my little one is 3 next week. Saved me re applying when he is 3 for mobility. So maybe will work out better and he will be awarded for both ar the same time. I will wait now until next Friday and call again. Please update me if you hear anything x

@Pmp1315 I hope we hear soon I called yesterday and really wanted to call again but decided not to lol 😂. I hope we hear next week just holds everything else up and all I want to do is be able to get funding for nursery for our son. I did hear they are working weekends to clear back log. I’ll call Monday / Tuesday if I don’t hear anything. I wonder if they are holding yours until next week etc looking at the mobility part and date of birth. Will keep you posted xx

Has anyone heard anything? I called this morning and still no decision :(

No, still nothing. I am going to call again around 4ish. X

@Pmp1315 keep us posted and good luck. The lady said if I don’t hear by Thursday to call back and they will chase it up for me x

The renewal form was sent off in early January. Just received a decision today only a couple of weeks before the award was due to end.
