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.

How long from ringing up and finding out you've been awarded that day to receiving the back payment does anyone know? Found out Wednesday that we had been awarded that morning but still not received payment. Thank you all

3-5 workings days my daughter was awarded on a Thursday and we received backpay the following Tuesday xx

Hey everyone!
I’ve been a lurker on this thread (and the others) since I’ve done my claim form
the scan date was 17/10..
has anyone received there’s? From this date?

Hi does anyone know the current waiting time for acceptance? Letters were sent 20th sept and scanned 5th October. rang up 4th Jan as this was 13 weeks since scan date and was told it was still with the DM and would have decision by end of Jan! They asked me my banking details on last call, is this normal?

@Kaylisa I'm on income support made a claim for carers

Hi I’m still waiting my letter date was 11/10 so it was 12 weeks on Tuesday just gone but I haven’t heard anything yet.

@Jayda19902022 ah ok sorry don’t know about carers allowance.

Feels like by the time we all get sorted with backpayments from other places and elements being put on the correct statement we will have to reapply again 😅

@Kaylisa that's ok thankyou

I’m waiting for this too. I think when I put the application it said 6 weeks turnaround for a decision anyway, and probably a few days beyond that. I only applied 8 days ago so I still have a wait!

@Teatime55 yes didn't take 6 weeks I've been accepted for carers allowance just they said they waiting on income support or something I did get backdated it years ago with my other child. Just curious why I haven't been yet backdated

@Mummytogirls87 thank you so much! Hopefully ill receive it on Monday. How long until the letter arrived can I ask? Thanks again!

@Ashmicwil my scan date was 7th October and we were awarded on Wednesday! They asked me for the name of my bank when I rang up its just security questions!

Your the same date as me Iv not heard anything yet.. will let u know if I do 😀

That’s great news for you! Hopefully we hear something back soon. Ive seen a few people have been awarded on Wednesday with around about the same scan dates, don’t want to keep ringing lol. They asked me my account number sort code and bank first time they have asked me those details.

Yes. We were awarded MRC at 20 months and the HRM when she turned 3

Hi all,
My scan date of form was 4th October it’s for a change of circumstances. My daughter currently gets LRcare so I am hoping for LRmobilty. When I applied 2 years ago, they said refused mobility as a child of her age without her needs would also need guidance and supervision so can’t get LR and that she wasn’t virtually unable to walk so wasn’t entitled to HR. She is 12 now and in high school (mainstream) I am having to get the bus to and from school with her as she is vulnerable and has no Road sense so is unable to get bus by herself. I rang up yesterday and the man I spoke to said change of circumstances were taking the longest and it will be 22 weeks before it will be passed to a decision maker. X

6/10 here just phoned and still not with anyone. I think I’ll just wait it out now. See if i hear anything by next Friday. She said another 1 - 2 weeks.

My letter arrived around 2 weeks after xx

We were awarded HRM in oct and it took 21 weeks (they had estimated 20)

@PrayingandHoping thanks so much for letting me know. When you were awarded at 20 months did you then have to reapply when she turned 3 for the mobility part? X

what area are you just ive noticed those who were awarded quicker seem to be in scotland x

Yes. As soon as she turned 2.5 I rang and asked for the form and it was in place day after her 3rd birthday

Me? England

@PrayingandHoping Thank You 😊I will wait now and hope hear something soon. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting x
