DLA wait times september 2022

[Oilytoe90]

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

@Mummyemx hey yeah my son was awarded hrc, lrm and I'm still currently waiting for the backpay of disabled child element on uc too, been waiting since 30th August, the dm decided I was entitled to it on the 12th september for backpay. Just waiting for them to calculate it

Wow. So basically a month 🙄. Always quick to take money off us tho... x

@Oilytoe90 ah yeah I know they're deffo not in any rush to sort it tbh! Ah I know they are my carers got stopped as my sons renewal got done the day it was running out, an I'm still waiting for that to be reinstated aswell, been waiting for that to be sorted since 30th August too! It's a nightmare! X

Wow. What an absolute joke. Hope it all gets sorted for you xx

@Oilytoe90 ah I know! All because they done the renewal on the day it was due to run out. Ah thanks! Hopefully not too much of a long wait for you for uc though! Xx

Guyssssss !!!! Good news, just came off the phone… decision made today high rate care for two years, no mobility, I’m guessing cos he’s only just 3.. but will see what the decision letter says. Happy wait is finally over.. good luck everyone still waiting !!
my scan date was 23rd June

Woop woop!!! Finally!! So happy for you x

Just called, still with the DM!! He told me MR are taking 4 weeks and mine has passed 4 weeks now so he has marked as urgent and upscaled jt to be done?

Starting to think it’s bad news, taking so long!

I'm still waiting for DLA renwal due 14/10.
I had a letter today and I thought 'this is it'. I made a cup of coffee and braced myself only to read that it's from DWP Carers Dept - telling me that my current award runs out on 16/10 and my Carers will stop!
Now, I know not to panic. They only sent that as the renewal date is looming and I haven't updated them, as I can't yet.
Was getting HRC and LRM. I don't realistically expect to get that again, as DS is 13 now but hoping at least for MRC.
Fingers crossed for everyone waiting. x

@NotJustAnybody my carers has been stopped waiting for it to.be reinstated as my sons renewal got done the day it was running out I did inform them but apparently dla took too long to inform them...

My scan date is 30 of June how long do you all think i should wait

That’s great news so happy for you

@harjinder01 My scan date is 27th if I haven’t heard by next Friday I’m going to call, hope this helps x

I'm the 28th of June heard nothing I'm down for a text when decision has been made do they actually text people x

Same here.. I panic every time my phone dings 🤣 I haven't read of many people receiving texts though so I'm not sure! X

Just a quick update in case anyone else is waiting on a renewal. DS renewal date is tomorrow and I’ve just today received our letter dated 21st renewing his high rate care and low rate mobility which is what we’ve been getting. They’ve done it for 4 years this time which is great as he will be going to high school then so may need different support. I’m also glad I don’t have to go through the awful process again so soon 🤣

Hi everyone!!

I made an account purely to share my updates with you all 😂 thank you for this thread, i’ve been silently reading for a while!!

My form scan date was 05/07/22. I called today at 9am as someone suggested and I didn’t have to wait more than 15 minutes. Form isn’t with case manager yet, I was told to wait another 2-3weeks 🥺🙄

This process feels like it takes forever, requested and completed the form in June! I’m hoping if my LO qualifies, Carers won’t take as long? I’m so desperate for the help, single Mum to two boys and struggling to meet their extra needs 😭

Hi everyone I called this morning to request a text message once my decision has been made. My claim is with the decision maker now so shouldn’t be too long a wait.

@mumofboyz2 My scan date was 5th July too and I called today and they’ve said another 2-3 weeks 😪

@8484859696A whats ur scan date

@Jo197 it’s the 27th they told me they are working on decision up to the 28th

@8484859696A thank you im the 28th so hopefully won’t be much longer now

I'm the 27th, I haven't rang at all yet I'm just holding out for a text message!

Got the tx my DC qualifies, it’s made me quite emotional tbh as we have struggled for so long with her extra care needs and didn’t know we could get help. Good luck to everyone who is waiting!
