DLA wait times september 2022

[Oilytoe90]

A new thread for those waiting on DLA claims as the other one was rather full. @girlmum25

@8484859696A that’s good news 😃

Do decision makers work weekends does anyone know?

Iv think they are working weekends to get through the back log

Hiya I am new to this was your scan date the 28th June as that's my scan date also :)

@claire071089 yes it is

Have you had your decision yet? :)

@claire071089 no nothing yet I rang them they said should be this week so fingers crossed 🤞

@claire071089 when is your scan date

Mine is the 28th June called this morning it is with a dm my little girl has adhd and learning difficulties, so worried she will get turned down

My son has ADHD, ODD, SPD and hypermobility. I'm not feeling hopeful 😞 will keep my fingers crossed for you!

@8484859696A amazing news for you!!! When did you get your text? Waiting for ours and hoping it’s today!

@2under2and1more I git the text this morning, fingers crossed for you x

Got*

I have everything crossed for you also, such a shame that it's not yet fully known as a disability. We are finding it difficult as they are still looking into different symptoms in girls :(

Thank you. I know, my daughter displays mild symptoms but no where near as bad as my son.. she's thriving at school and has lots of friends so there's no concerns! Just hoping we hear some good news soon, do you know if they text you even if it's unsuccessful? Or is it just a letter in the post?

I wish they wouldn’t send out letters saying a decision should be made within 8 weeks, it’s clearly not happening in the majority of cases and it just makes the waiting worse for people as you fear it’s not good news 🙁

We’re in a similar boat. My son gets HRC And LRM as he displays all the typical ADHD and ASD traits and sensory processing issues.
my daughter has been going down hill for years, her ocd has gotten uncontrollable to the point where she won’t use a cup that hasn’t been through the dishwasher and she will inspect everything. She’s on the ASD pathway. We’re struggling to cope with her, she cries 5+ times a day and is hard to settle, she just doesn’t tanks how to cope with normal day to day noise and life!

I am not to sure I've not read of anyone getting texts if unsuccessful, we were hoping that the money she would get can go towards her horse riding and gymnastics but it's an awful feeling knowing you are waiting for someone to judge your child.

The waiting is awful isn’t it, feel on edge all the time and worried incase have to go through the appeal process. Hopefully won’t take too much longer now 🤞🏻

@Oilytoe90 hi did u hear anything bk from uc I’m stil waiting x

I feel exactly the same. I'm hoping it will pay for 1-1 swimming lessons, he started last year and they said they couldn't cope with him as he was unsafe in the pool 😣 he loves water too just gets over excited! I'd also like to replace his TV that he smashed 🤦🏽‍♀️ it can't be too much longer I'm hoping!

I've just rang them, I'm same scan date as you, 30th June. Advised to call back next week Thursday/Friday as working upto 28th. Good luck 👍

Hiya. Someone called me yesterday at 5 to go thru everything with me and she's sent it to be authorised and said should I should hear about payment by Monday x

@Oilytoe90 is yours a new claim for the disabled child element or was it a change from mrc to hrc?
