DLA Wait Times Part 5 2022

[MissRedd]

Hi,

I created a new thread as the old one is reaching its limit.

I actually can not believe this! My claim was with dm 2 weeks today! Once I was told from a man that it would be within 2 weeks and to call after 2 weeks lady who was rude gave me no hope yesterday put me on a downer so I decided I will call today hopefully I can get some answers! I’m still on hold 59mins!!!!!! I’m going to hang on a little longer

@Polly21x good luck mine is nearly a week with them get told different things last lady said once with dm they work in date order 🤷‍♀️

Muy scan date is 1st August, I called Wednesday and the lady said 13 wks and wait a couple of weeks to receive a letter . The wait is so long.

what are everyone’s suggestions??? I was on hold for 1 hour and 4 mins! To be answered and cut off not sure if this was a mistake probably was but I’m so annoyed all that time should I call back or not?? It just seems like I’m so far away and getting nowhere help??

@Gemmalouise2 @MissEllie2 honestly I can’t tell you how relieved I feel. I cried on the phone the woman thought I was sad I had to tell her it’s because I was so happy he finally got the support he deserves and someone finally listened to me xx

@Hayhoarematthews thank you seems like I’m getting nowhere! Everytime I call I get told different things x

@Polly21x it wasn’t with a dm Wednesday so must have gone to them yesterday and decision made this morning literally about a minute after I called to see if it was with someone yet I got a text to say he qualified and the lady I spoke to rang me to tell me as I had just that minute out the phone down to them xx

@alwaysonthegomum @Kits45 just had a call from the decision maker as she wanted to check a few needs for her night time, she said it is an unusual case that she only has had 1 other a few weeks back but has issued hrc and lrm for 1 year as that's all they could do it for with her needs but so relieved to finally have a answer

Ahh that's excellent probably why it took a bit longer then I'm relieved and very pleased for you least it's sorted now 👍👍 xx

I said it would be Friday aswell hahaha I better put the lottery on lol xx

Yh she said she was going to award high but wanted to check a few things you and me both I know it's only for a year before renewal but even so that will help so much

@Hayhoarematthews really pleased for you glad your wait is finally over too x

@alwaysonthegomum thank you and you to it's Iver for another 9 months untill the time to renew 🙈

@alwaysonthegomum do you think there is a problem with mine?? For it to be with a dm for 2 weeks today x

@Polly21x Mine was with them a week, I had been told if they need to contact people you have listed it can take a while longer x

@Polly21x I know you got cut off but just call again, at least when you get through you’ll have another answer as to period of time! Might ease your mind for a little bit. I’m sure if there was any info they needed from you they would call you. I believe that DM’s have all different sized case loads they have to get through and they probably don’t all work at the same pace. Definitely try calling again today for a little update. Good luck 🥰 keep positive xx

@Hayhoarematthews no nothing

Thank you I got it in the post today I was hoping there was a quicker way but hopefully they get it all early next week. Good luck for yours.

@Polly21x id just give them another call on Monday x

Hello my scan date is 3rd august I'm just wondering what questions does the dm ask over the phone thank you I'm just so nervous

Hi my scan dates 3rd august x

@Gemma96x feels like forever waiting would rather just know now either way x

I no its taking ages to get a yes or no I'm very anxious due to my son has autism so is very hard to show evidence off this apart from his diagnosis report which is all I have so feeling very doubtfull for him to be honest x

That’s such good news @Hayhoarematthews. Iv sent my daughters renewal off on the 12th October. Her award runs out on the 27th November. My daughter is double incontinent. On a lot of medication for bladder and bowels along side rectal irrigation. Also has melatonin for sleep. Iv had to really fight for my daughter each time I have had to appeal and attend court hearings in the past. Her difficulties really affect her quality of life.
I’m so happy for you x

@Gemma96x from what I see on here the majority of children have autism , and are very successful in getting the help their dc needs so fingers crossed you’ll be fine ….my son has an autoimmune disorder which attacks his blood vessels causing severe rashes and pain and swelling on his legs feet and ankles ….henoch scholein purpura (HSP) the last 13 months have been terrible for him some days he can barely walk 😞my concern is as they don’t know how long it will affect him and that could affect his claim but it’s really rare to have the amount of flare ups he has x
