Have just had a call from DLA, very nice lady and she asked a few questions checked my bank details and said payment would be made by the end of the week. She said she hasn’t reached a rate decision but to call tomorrow and they would be able to tell me.

Scan date 6/9 and has been back dated to July 🙂

Just spent 50 minutes on hold waiting for my call to be answered for an update on change of circumstances.

My scan date was in July.

They are currently working on June dates.

He said not to expect a decision before January.

Absolutely diabolical and disgraceful.

Hi all,

My sons scan date is 5th October so likely to be another few weeks before we hear anything 😕 does anyone know if the DLA offices/staff close for the Christmas break?

@parsniiips are you already getting it or changing the circumstances?

Scan date July without any information is ridiculous!

Mines been with a DM since 23rd November awaiting decision on back pay of UC and Carer’s element. Called them today and they said still no news 😩

Scan date 5th Sept. Been awarded LRM and MRC today for my 10yo daughter undiagnosed autism. Thank goodness the wait is over. Backdated to July

@dandymum @Gemma96x
sorry i keep randomly commenting but I keep checking this post. My claim with UC was with the decision maker from the 21st November for me requesting back payment for the disabled child element and I received a decision today. I was told there were no time frame, then was told they had until the 16th December to make a decision. I’m yet to have the payment processed. But I thought that you should have heard something by now Gemma as you submitted yours a week or two before I did xx

@SRog Congratulations! What evidence did you send? X

@SRog brilliant news x

Am going to send it off this week @dandymum

I sent in the paperwork relating to her being on the pathway for an assessment, sleep clinic paperwork and continence clinic paperwork. I was so worried as I didn’t fill in any extra pages than what was provided and noticed most people did.

I no its taking so long 😩

I no I keep getting told the dm has till 6pm today been told this about 4 times for different days still nothing

UC sounds like a right nightmare I’m still on old style tax credits it was all sorted the same day I phoned with back payment to go in my account tomorrow I’m dreading having to go on UC xx

Scan date 26th September
ive sent in SEN plan, letter from child development practitioner , I wrote her day out, her letter from the hospital and told them she’s under a sleep therapist, speech therapist and been referred for ASDAT
do you think this will be enough but she will only be 4 next week so if I did get awarded would I have to reapply next year?

Anyone idea what dates they are working on now?

I mean, Does anyone have any idea lol

Already get DLA but change of circumstance means my son will be entitled to a higher rate care plus mobility and I'm currently unable to work due to this and need all the financial support I can get 😥

@Lozzaaaaa I was wondering this too. X

@Lozzaaaaa it sounds like they’re doing wc 5th September this week, although I thought that this was meant to be last week. At this point, I can’t keep up with it all. I was hoping to hear something this week but I’m thinking that’s very unlikely now x

@LucasMummy88 I’m the same, defo struggling to keep up! I thought this week too but I’m now thinking next week or possibly even the week after. Finding being patient really difficult now lol x

I’ve not phoned yet. I think people are being told different dates when they phone so we’re all confused haha x

Scan date 7th sept and received text today that my child qualifies. Just to give you an idea of what dates they are working on

@Adventure2022 Thank you! And congratulations 😊 x

And did you get it all backdated? And the Carer’s element? I guess it’s good to know that you’ve got it but also frustrating that they can’t tell you when! X
