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.

I think it’s disgusting that we have to fight for what our babies deserve my son is 15 and I’ve been fighting all his life and only just started to get the help he deserves. this money is not why I’m fighting so hard he needs middle rate to get the extra government paid one to one teacher at school that’s why I’m fighting I really don’t care about what I do for him because I would do it anyway like all us mums n dads would and to make us wait even longer the only people really suffering is our children x

@Shaimummy thats reassuring. Hopefully hear soon. I have seen some people are still waiting for end of July and start of august so I have no idea what process there using. Hopefully if there being looked at this week then we will have some news next week or the following 🤞🏻

@MichelleG78 did you send in any new/old evidence? This is what worries me for my boys renewal x

I really hope so! This wait has been extremely stressful . Wishing you all
The best x

How long is the wait once its with a decision maker?

Rang today, they haven’t even looked at mine it isn’t with a case worker either. Has anyone sent more evidence ? I am sending more tomorow but will it Delay claim because there waiting on it? She said she’s putting a note on system that I’m sending some more evidence in

Whens ur scan date x

@xxAmy I missed the renewal date so it was classed as a new claim. He’d previously been awarded in 2018 for 4 years so a lot had changed in that time. He’d started school, new behaviours had developed etc. I rushed the form as it was late and don’t think I sent enough evidence and didn’t get anyone to fill in the statement section from someone who knows your child. I’ve sent new evidence in with the MR and a statement from his hearing advisory teacher backing up what I’d said on the form. Just hoping now that’s enough to make them reconsider but I’m not feeling very hopeful to be honest. But don’t let that put you off, just make sure you send the renewal form back on time and leave plenty of time to complete it x

@Gemma96x 9th august

Mines 3rd august and I only sent my son autism report nothing else at all not even school xx

Any updates yet xx

Has anybody just sent diagnosis report of autism and been awarded with no other information and does any1 know how long its wait a dm for x x

Hi all. Everyone waiting on coc I've just spoken to a lovely women and she's told me it's taking 20 to 21 weeks wait so told me call back next Wednesday if not heard anything.. just thought would keep u updated to the latest time frames..she didn't mention whether it was with a dm but I feel pretty confident after speaking to her. For a change

@Gemma96x hiya my lads not been diagnosed I only had peaditrician reports and appointmnet and all the help from his old school and he's been on pathway for asd and adhd finally coming to the end off it and he got rewarded middle rate care and lower mobility
.Still no diagnosis for him but he's on medication goes special needs school and has echp and alot more care needs from over a year ago so I'm waiting on change off circumstances now with all his new reports school meds and extra care .

scan date 8 th september anyone heard anything fron this date yet x

I'm 3rd and with dm but no decision x

@Lianney84 wow 21 weeks! that’s means I may be waiting till jan then at this rate, I was told 13 weeks over the phone 2 weeks ago, it’s been 13 weeks haven’t heard a thing, they said it isn’t even with a case worker yet :( I’m planning on sending more evidence today. What’s the best way to send evidence does anyone know, is 1st class ok?

Ok I just don't think my son has enough evidence as it only his diagnosis report I told them over the phone he has a appointment with a peadatric to see if hes got to have meds. and school senco told me to update the new senco teacher and number with dla xx

@Trustynickname yes I'm on 20 weeks today so next week will be 21.. its an exhausting wait.

8th of september anyone heard anything from this scan date

Wow @Lianney84 that is an awfully long wait. Longest I’ve heard so far. Is that for a new claim? Really hope you hear soon

@allyj1975 they are working on early August at the min, they’ve not started the September ones just yet.

Anyone who’s scan date is early august received there decision yet? I seen on Another page that someone received there decision this morning for 2nd august which is pretty reassuring x

@allyj1975 i don’t think they’re looking at anything past late July early august at the moment x

@Trustynickname when I sent in further evidence I sent it recorded so I knew they had got it. I rushed sending it and sent the original 😭😭
