DLA Wait times 2022 Part 4

[MissRedd]

Thought I'd continue the thread as it had reached its limit.

My application will be awhile before any response but scanned 5 July and nothing yet.

@Jo197 they were working on dates up to 22nd june a couple of days ago

Thankyou not long now then

Mine is 23rd and with dm this weekend x

Fingers crossed 🤞 for everyone

@Oilytoe90 ... worse wait in the history.!!!

I know so frustrating

I’m wondering if anyone can help answer my question.
I do not currently claim UC, but have been advised that now my child receives DLA we will be entitled. My partner and I both earn above the ‘entitlement’ limit for UC. My child has been given HRC and LRM which online says we would get £414 per month from UC and also £160 carers allowance as I care for him 35+ hours a week around working.
Is there any point me putting a claim in for UC to get this or will we be declined on income being too high? Or is the DLA element not taken into account?
Thanks

@2under2and1more you'll be entitled to the disabled child element which will be the 414 a month your on about as your child receives hrc, not too sure about the rest but you'll be entitled to that part

@Kage87 have you still not heard either. I’m ringing tomorrow if i can.

I’m sure u can get the carers element on uc if u work. You can’t get carers allowance tho. I’m in same situation I’m a student so I can’t get carers allowance but I’ve been awarded caters element on uc but I am
not sure if you can claim with work pay so high. My sister gets 60 extra tax credit a week and she doesn’t get a high pay she’s also single. If your on tax credit I Wouldtn bother switching until they make you. Or maybe ring and ask might not be worth it xx

You will definitely get the dla element of UC so absolutely apply, the lady who I spoke to about the dla award said you can be a millionaire and still be entitled to the dla element.
I also work so not sure if I’ll get the carers element, however the lady that phoned me from UC said I may possibly get it but they will work it out.

@Sarahjlk nope still nothing getting abit scared now tbh nerves are shot. Got ds first big appointment this week for diagnosis and others keep coming up all starting to feel abit much and real now. Xxx

@Kage87 still nothing for me either, terrified to call in the morning 🤣 feel sick with worry now x

@Oilytoe90 shall we agree to do it at same time 🤣 virtually hold each others hand. Lol xxx

DEAL!! lol x

There’s isn’t one set income limit for UC, it differs depending on individual circumstances. The child disability element and carers element of UC are still subject to deductions due to income, but it means you can earn more before the deductions wipe out the total award.

*There isn’t

@Kage87 @Oilytoe90 yea i’ll be ringing about 9am after school run.
i cant cope anymore.. it’s all I’m thinking about!

@Oilytoe90 i think your decision will have been made Yesterday or today so you should know tomorrow xx

I have been following this thread for a while but first time commenting! My scan date is 23rd June so also will be calling up in the morning for any updates thanks

Yep. 9am ill be calling up lol x

Yeah deffo give them a call. I'm 23rd too and with dm this weekend x

Ok yes hopefully we will get some news tomorrow then as it’s been such a long wait!! Just hoping it’s good news for everyone now after waiting so long, I have been worried after seeing a few posts that have been turned down

Guys hope everyone with the same scan date as me (23rd) get answers tomorrow!! Should the money be in my bank this week as the decision was made on Friday? X

I would have thought it be in on Tuesday x
