DLA wait times september 2022

[Oilytoe90]

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

@Pollyley let's keep our fingers crossed that the person I spoke to was right!

Hi just looking for some advice, for the carers element of UC how does it work? My DS gets MRC DLA but I work so can’t apply for carers allowance, can I still apply for the carers element of UC? Do I need to fill another big form out to show how I care for extra 35 hours or is it just added automatically when I tell UC about the DLA?

I would just do the relevant change in circumstances and pop a note in your journal to say you been awarded Mrc and need to update claim for career element and disability element

Hoping more of you get some good news today 😊x

It won't be me from the sounds of yesterday's call. Il keep an eye in here though for everyone else

Anyone else scan date on the 28th?June,and still waiting I've not had a txt and seems a lot have over weekend

I am the 28th June

I'm the 28th June too. This is our week...I'm sure of it... 😊

Makes me feel a bit better guys but still not holding breath lol good luck to u all 🙂🙂

It feels like we have been waiting for ages :)

DWP have just called me to discuss the claim, scan date 12th July. MR was 27th July.
went through all of it again and her needs etc and he’s ringing her school to speak to the teacher at 3.30. He said a decision will be made today.
from what he was saying it’ll be low rate mobility low rate care but we will see, crossing everything.

It really does it really has got to be soon as some on the 28th allready had txts Saturday

Hi everyone,
My scan date was 29th June. Just got off the phone, a decision was made yesterday - HRC, LRM. So relieved! Been following this thread for a while. Good luck to everyone. I didn't receive a date even though I asked for one on previous calls.

I didn't receive a text I mean

Hi everyone whoever was 28th June not heard check ur banks for payments usually they pay today and take it from there good luck all x

Well that's me out then nothing haha

My scan date was the 28th June, I received a text Friday and rang them to confirm rates etc.. they said the back payment would be made by the end of this week.. had nothing hit my account yet though!

@Donnagl lol i would ring them up see how far they r

If anyone is still waiting from the 28th June, I'd give them a ring today and ask if a decision has been made as they seem to be going past that date now, if they haven't sent a text you could be waiting a few more days for a payment to clear.

@xams they r quick at back payment wait til Thursday

Omg I just got txt he qualifies over the moon 🙂🙂🙂🙂

Good luck everyone! Our scan date is 27th July, looks like we'll be waiting until the first week of November with how long it seems to be taking

Do they only pay on a Tuesday? Also how long does it take for them to pay? Thank you 😊

@Donnagl congratulations 🥳

Hopefully mine could be today then :)
