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.

Hi everyone.
This is round 2 for me.
Eldest has already been awarded but now we are waiting for the youngest.
scan date 21/11 so have a loooooong wait ahead but thought I would comment to keep up with where they are with things.

@Sausagedogmomma my scan dates 22/11 so not far from you, i’m going to ring on the 8th week and every week after as i hate waiting lol my daughter needs the money i’m just hoping she doesn’t get declined, i did send about 20 pages of information though. i hope everyones starts get sorted soon

Same for my youngest, they received it on 11/11, didn’t get confirmation letter until this Wednesday just gone and that letter was dated 13th December so up to 12 weeks from that date.

@Squishy1911 i rang just before christmas as i still haven’t received confirmation but the lady said they will go from my scan date 22/11 regardless so hopefully that shortens the time you thought you’d need to wait? so your time starts from 11/11

I don’t know you would think that wouldn’t you, but it does say on the letter 12 weeks so got at least another month to go yet.

@Squishy1911 well fingers crossed it is from 11/11 so be a nice surprise when it’s sooner 🙂this is my 2nd time applying i got declined last year but i didn’t send any supporting information as we didn’t have a diagnosis then

I hope so, this is a renewal for mine

I did mine the same day, I rang them then kept putting messages on journal under payments make sure you put you want it back dating to when the DLA was awarded

@Wintersmummy96 have you had a response?

Only saying my back date claims been sent to a DM haven’t heard nothing since due to bank holiday hoping to hear something next week

Hi new to this…currently sat at 14 weeks since they received my forms and still not heard anything. I was going to call but might hang on another week or so since by the looks of it they are way behind 🙄

@Kate6681 did they give you a waiting time? They do normally say to ring after 12 weeks and they’ll email the DM that it’s urgent cause it’s gone past you’re 12 weeks

I'm also at 14 weeks and received a letter Friday saying I'll hear from them within 6 weeks! I don't know what's going on but it's driving me crazy now!

Joining the thread, my ds turned 16, sent the application form to switch from dla hrc lrm to pip on 19.11.22. I’m not ringing and chasing because I’m convinced he’s going to get refused. Heard some pip horror stories

Joining this thread !!
my son was finally awarded on 30/12 backdating from august - scan date 28/09
was told payment was processed, just wondering how long it actually takes for the backdated payment to be in your account?

i just got a message in my journal its a letter about my disability element back payment but i still don't understand it seid the DM has reviewed why it was reported late and under the special circumstances my uc payments will be adjusted for next payment?

It’s usually 3-5 working days my daughters took 3 days x

How long did you wait for the letter? My statement gets done 16th I’m hoping it’s all sorted before then

@Wintersmummy96 i reported the change to uc on 23/12/222 and i received the message/letter today, i won't get my next uc statement untill 29th jan im just waiting on back payment

sorry i ment i won't get my bext uc statement untill 25th payment due 29th

That’s same date as me, hopefully mine won’t be long then mine got sent to DM for back pay of carers element and disability element on 30th but I put it on 23rd December

@Wintersmummy96 i don't think i will get any back payment from the carers element as im on limited capability for work myself and as your only entitled to one element i was already receiving LCFW from August so unfortunately no gain from that but i am waiting on the back payment for CDE shouldn't be two long now

Currently waiting decision on mandatory reconsideration it’s been just over 2 weeks they said could take upto 4 weeks. Is anyone else going through mr

@Shellbel10 i Don't know personally myself but i do have a friend who is waiting on a MC and she has been waiting a total of 8 weeks+ so far hopefully you will hear sooner than this with the holidays been over.

That is ridiculous Hopfully it’s not that long for me
