DLA wait times september 2022

[Oilytoe90]

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

Wow that's 6 days worth tho, so that's pretty good compared to last 2 weeks lol x

@kateof2 mines went from the date I rang for the forms they backdated me to hope this helps
Good to see good news for others congrats

They back date payment to when you asked for forms but scan date is when they work from to do the claim.

Do you get a text when they scan your form ? I've only posted it last week so not hopeful to hear for a few months !

Some do, most just get a letter saying they've received the application x

Called this morning. Still with decision maker, has been with them over a week! Is it supposed to be with them this long?

My scan date is 30 June geared Notting back from them am calling them now am on 32 mins at the moment let's see what there say to me today ? Am just hoping my son gets what he needs for him

Wow. Surely not? X

I’ve asked them to put me down for a text message. I can’t deal with the anxiety of calling every day with a 35+ minute wait on hold!
Surely shouldn’t be with them over a week. I think they make things up tbh. My scan date is 12th of July. Received a decision on Tuesday last week for my other child!

Wondering if anyone knows, if I send in extra evidence will it hold my claim up for longer?

@kateof2 no I sent evidence nearly every couple of weeks and mines kept the same time as people who had same original scan date

@Noneyerbuisness11234 thanks lovely will send it today x

...... no news !!!!

Same. No text or anything. I'm got a bloody headache!! X

Hopefully it’s tomorrow for you both - take no news as good news, the end is in sight!

I also phoned today and told was with the dm still and should hear soon, scan date 23rd June x

Hi guys, read you feed and I’m waiting on a renewal which they advised I missed the date (although I didn’t ever get a letter to renew) I explained and they advised have to start the claim again. Sent it over July 12 didn’t get scanned in until the 27th July. Had a letter last week to say sorry they have not dealt with it as yet. Didn’t realise how backed up they are! Think mine will be weeks more 😭

Same scan date. Omg another month!! Someone above in the thread did say they were told Wednesday the latest for 30th June.. so hopefully ours wouldn’t be long after. Hope you hear soon and fingers crossed

I was told 30 of June by nxt Friday ring if u dnt hear nothing hear bk from them in these 2 weeks

Anyone waiting on a mandatory reconsideration? Will be 4 weeks on Wednesday but heard they're taking upto 6 weeks. Already waited 12 weeks for the original decision 🙄

If you've sent in for renewal do they continue to pay whilst you wait on a decision? DS renewal date 29th, but they only received 17th Aug as school took bloody ages filling their part of the form in then I was working so could not post it straight away. Due a payment beginning of October I'm just wondering if I will receive this if they are still processing it? We can't afford to live without this payment.

My scan date 21st July and they told me today at least another 2 weeks they’re working on 30th June

@FishFingerSandwiches4Tea sorry it's not good news I waited another 14 weeks for a MR after waiting 12 weeks for original decline although they will backdate u if accepted to ur original application date x

Mine was scanned on the 1st of August, they told me probably November for a decision as its taking 13/15 wks

Unfortunately no, the payments will stop on the date the award ends, but if they award the renewal, they will back date it then
