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 have no hope
people with dates after mine have had answers.. I don’t dare ring x

I would call them hun. Especially as people who's dates are after yours have heard. I'd be fuming at that x

Just got through
Ours was scanned on the 14th July and the woman said its with the decision maker still. It was with them on Thursday last week.
She said we are looking at 13 weeks rather than 12.

July? And it'd with a decision maker already 😯

Girlmum25 · 12/09/2022 11:03

@Lynseyb91 you should definitely ring! Bet you can't wait for it all to be over ! Nightmare x

May I join you?

I'm buckling in for a fair wait as my application for DS was only received on 17th August, but I'm finding it helpful to read this thread and watch the process.

Hope everyone gets their answers soon x

MissRedd · 12/09/2022 11:37

Just got off the phone, scan date 5th July, no outcome yet. Said current claims taking 12-14 weeks 😫. So another 2-4 weeks waiting for me.

12-14??
They are just adding weeks on now. So bloody frustrating.
I'm getting pestered by UC because I'm not on carers allowance at the moment. My claim went in as a new claim rather than renewal because I never received the renewal pack for some reason and I didn't ring on time to get it sent out.
My son has been on DLA for 8 years.

He got awarded HRC LM they did it on the 10th so happy! Xx

Girlmum25 · 12/09/2022 12:24

Omg I am so happy for you!!

Sarahjlk · 12/09/2022 12:39

@Lynseyb91 so happy you got a good result. so nervous 😩 my boy hasn’t got a diagnosis yet, hasn’t even seen anyone yet. Was referred in March and still waiting. I sent every form and report i had just worried it wasn’t enough.

Girlmum25 · 12/09/2022 12:49

@Sarahjlk I wouldnt worry about that my daughter doesn't have a diagnosis yet although she is obviously asd. She wears a protective helmet 24 hours a day and is on sleep medication/ has an occupational therapist. I think a diagnosis doesn't seem to matter hope the best for you xx

Lynseyb91 · 12/09/2022 12:55

Thankyou girls and don’t worry my son doesn’t either. I really believe it’s how the form is filled out. I did mine myself but I’m a student nurse so I’m used to filling forms out lol. Good luck xxx

Ellp95 · 12/09/2022 15:06

@Lynseyb91 aw fab news! I’ve just called again to! I was told it was with the decision maker x

Lynseyb91 · 12/09/2022 15:14

What was your scan date again?

Sugar1boy · 12/09/2022 16:56

Hi all new to this but I’ve been following my scan date was the 21st of June still haven’t heard anything called up twice first time I got told September I will hear from dla then when I called on September the 1st I got told by the 20th of September I should hear back from them and if not I need to call in. It’s amazing how others have heard back from after my scan date but I’m so scared to call again called only twice. I received two letters stating acknowledgment then second stating sorry for the delay you will hear from us soon. So eager to know if my DS qualifies he isn’t diagnosed but school had detected that he has Adha and Global delay. He is currently with speech and language and now getting help from school had 1:1 and is in the sensory room occasionally he also has autism traits he also suffers with seizures every month. Hope you all hear back soon and we get what we all deserve for our children.

@Lynseyb91 16th June! X

crazymare20 · 12/09/2022 21:03

Does anyone have the address to return completed forms? I printed mine out rather than requesting one and it’s says to return to free post dwp child. No postcode or anything so I’m a little nervous to send to this address. I’m sure I can remember previously sending one to Wolverhampton.

I’m sure that’s right that’s where I sent me evidence. I got it offline and still didn’t believe it so I rang to confirm cx
