It's looking like we're going to need a new thread. Good luck to everyone waiting for a decision. Our scan date is 02/11 so it could be any day now, but most likely another week or two.

Hi all followed and read for a while. Scan date was 17/10/22. I sent the autism diagnosis letter off on 5/1/23. But they still wrote on the 1/2/23 asking for the diagnosis letter. I called them the same day and they said they only only scanned the diagnosis letter in the day before.. so hopefully soon 🤞

You’re the same scan date!! As me!

Chocolateandstrawberries · 06/02/2023 09:24

Update: it’s with DM, I’m going to call up later to see if there’s been made, if not I’ll call on Friday

Patchyman1 · 06/02/2023 09:40

Fingers crossed for you.

kaylax94 · 06/02/2023 09:44

How long after this text did people hear on their claims? Just received now, scanned 5th December. I've already had the 2 letters to say the claim was received and the other to say they are still looking at it.

"We are still looking at your DLA1 Child claim. When a decision is made we will confirm it in writing. There is no need to contact us about it."

I received that text over 3 weeks ago and haven’t heard anything. I’m not sure there is an obvious connection between receiving the text and where the claim is at. We are week 12 today. Good luck with everything 😊

WreckTangled · 06/02/2023 10:29

The texts and letters are all generic. I don’t think they have any bearing on when a decision (finally!) gets made.

I’m on 12 weeks today too. I won’t ring though as I know they’re only just starting on November. Hope it’s not too long… not sure what we will do if it’s declined

northstar19 · 06/02/2023 10:32

@Chaz5rascals Ahh thanks. I'm going to give it until 12/13 weeks before I even think about calling

northstar19 · 06/02/2023 10:33

Seen somebody on the FB group sent forms end of December and got their decision already.. just wish they were a bit more consistent with it all. So frustrating waiting for so long

Chaz5rascals · 06/02/2023 10:58

@northstar19 fingers crossed it’s not too long, I’m rubbish on the phone so probably won’t bring myself to call, I’ll be waiting for a letter for ages 😆

@kaylax94 thank you that is very helpful! Good luck to you, I hope you get the best outcome.

Chaz5rascals · 06/02/2023 11:00

@WreckTangled I’ll watch out for your updates in the hope our decisions are very close time wise 😊

gingergingerginger · 06/02/2023 11:12
