DLA wait times september 2022

[Oilytoe90]

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

@Oilytoe90 oh okay I had msg today saying sent to decision maker let’s see how long takes from there x

Apologies for late reply. It was a new claim for the disabled child element lovely x

I've not heard anything more today but recon it will be tomorrow that I do x

@Oilytoe90 sometimes they leave msg in journal I was just checking seen it not had notifications x

@Shannon26 mines change from mrc to hrc x

@Oilytoe90 ah that's fine I was just wondering since they're dealing with yours quite quick but maybe cause yours is a new one x
@Bvbvbv mines the same changed from mrc to hrc and mine was with the dm for a few days they said I'm entitled and now the case manager has to calculate payment and that was the 12th I've not heard anything since 🤷‍♀️

Yeah I've been checking my journal through the day lol x

@Shannon26 yeah they do seem to be quicker at sorting new claims out x

@Oilytoe90 yeah be because we're already getting it just need the backpayment sorted 👌 glad they sort the new claims out quick though cause it's horrible having to wait around x

@Shannon26 did u contact them again? I left msg lol I go how long is it going to take 😂I dnt want to wait like Dla too long x

@Oilytoe90 same I wake up nd start checking 😂😂

Literally evert half hour lol x

@Bvbvbv yeah I've rang once and messaged once they say got to wait for payment authorisation and they'll let me know when they know pretty much, sick of it tbh, it's a nightmare! X

@Oilytoe90 yh same 😂@Shannon26 Yh it’s headache that long wait nd checking every hour lol only if they cn just give dates roughly would b great x

@Bvbvbv yes I totally agree! If they told us when they'd have it done by wouldn't be as bad but the waiting and constant checking is a nightmare! X

My form was date stamped 27th July and they scanned it on the 4th August. I can't cope with waiting any longer and I can't seem to get through! Anybody else know the wait times for these dates? And do they only pay on a Wednesday?

@sadiekt21 good morning. Unfortunately the majority of us have waited 14 weeks!! They are currently working on dates up to the 28th of June so unfortunately you've most likely got a long wait ahead of you. But you're more than welcome to wait with those who are still waiting for their answers, these threads seem to help ease the stress of waiting x

@Oilytoe90 I have only just seen your news I am so happy for you !!!

For anyone waiting on carers allowence I applied on the 22nd and was awarded my backpack yesterday so it can literally be really quick! I was expecting 12 weeks good luck to you all xxc

Thankyou lovely. Am over the moon. I applied for carers on Wednesday xx

Soo happy to see all these awards 😊 especially ones that I’ve followed quietly for so many weeks. Week 13 today for me, I’m an anxious mess, hopefully I hear next week x

My scan date was 5th august, living in fairy land thinking it would only take a few weeks! Was told last week shes put my claim to the front of the queue. Rang two days ago to be told 'putting claims to front of queue doesnt exist' 😡😡😡 my little boy has around 3 appointments a week at hospitals so its costing too much getting him there and back! Why does it take so long!!!!

I recieve my daughters dla on a tuesday! Ive just applied for dla for my son, he has kabuki syndrome 😣 it was scanned on the 5th and obviously i am still waiting!

Does anyone know roughly how long it takes them to scan in extra evidence? I darent call haha, scan date 27th of July sent evidence in on Monday

It took a few weeks for them to scan in my sons extra information i sent. I had to send it special delivery to make sure it got there. Ive gone abit crazy sending more evidence suprised they dont block my accpunt or something 🤣 ive sent hand written notes and everything 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
