DLA waiting times part 7

[mammaov3]

Hi everyone i started new thread as the other one was getting full my scan date is 23rd September still waiting for decision.

I'm also wondering how long it's with decision maker as we rang yesterday to find out it's with decision maker

Really I’m new to all this so I have no idea What way it works but my sons now 9 and he’s been like this from he was 3 and has lots of extra care needs. I also probably should have says I’m in Northern Ireland making a claim.

@GirlmumTN I rang on the 23rd and was told it was with a dm and ring back in the new year if I hadn't heard anything. Awarded today.

Landed for you! Hopefully we'll have a decision soon then 🙏 did you ring up? Or received payment x

@GirlmumTN they rang me to ask a question then she told me. I was going to ring back later next week because of the amount of days they have been shut.

I did call them, my claim was picked by the DM yesterday but there is no decission yet.
now I am really anxious

Wonder if they’re working tomorrow

@Shellbel10 they'll be back on Tuesday.

Scan date 28th September just rang my sons claim is with a decision maker pending a decision. So could be today which i highly doubt but said most likely next week i recon.

I can’t remember what date I rang and found out my daughter got awarded, think it was 9th December I rang and they said she was awarded on the 8th. It was backdated to beginning of August.
I just got the letter yesterday to say she’s awarded til 31st July 2024. So 2yrs from when I rang for claim forms.

Just putting mine to keep up with thread! Scan date 11/11.

Not to do with DLA but if any of you have been awarded might be worth checking out family fund I applied last year for clothes for my son and got a £200 voucher to spend I can reapply on 13th so will be an iPad as he’s been through 4 in the last year

Leaving this here as we're a scan date of 4/11, rang to submit extra evidence and they said I should here by end of Jan but not holding my breath at hearing then haha

Has anyone had carers allowance recently. I’m awaiting a decision on that.

@Cody3 Hi, what evidence do they ask you to provide? Xx

Mine was 11/10 for my eldest son, it will be 12 weeks on tuesday so hoping in the 2/3 weeks that I will hear something.

Not DLA related, how long taking people to get backdated payment from UC for child disability element and carers element? Mine got sent to DM on 30th December

I've been waiting for a message back for 2 weeks. No idea if even with a DM yet 🤷🏼‍♀️

I kept put messages on my journal then rang them so they sent it to DM

I need to call them then. I left a message but they are rubbish at replying via messages

Yeah I left a message got no reply so I rang them they said would sent message over to case manager heard nothing so I rang next day and the case manager got back to me same day saying been sent to DM but wouldn’t know how long would take

@Gemz8 not 100% I last applied in 2021 you can start registration and see what it asks you for is probably say the DLA letter to prove your child gets it

Mine was sent to decision maker 29th an same day I had a decision and letter for backpay due 3rd Jan.. they said I could experience a delay due to the festive period but that wasn't the case.

iff i claim carers element and they backdate it won't i have to pay the backpay money back anyway as they only allow one element witch ever is higher and im already in receipt of limited capability for work group ?

I updated Uc on the 23/12 about the award but so far they have not responded apart from thanks???
