DLA Wait Times Part 8 (2023)

[gingergingerginger]

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.

Good luck this week everyone hope we all hear something soon! Find this thread so comforting nice to know I’m not alone in this horrible wait! Xx

Good luck , hopefully they have a decision for you 🙏🏼

@Girlmum11 give them a call.. you could of had a decision made,depends how quickly the DM gets through the claims.. I have seen someone been awarded same date as you. Good luck!!

@Christinaja oh really? It’s crazy that you haven’t had a decision but someone on my day has. The lady who is a day after me hasn’t even gone to a dm yet 🙈 I’ll try to pluck up the courage to do it. I’ll let you know 🥰

@Girlmum11.. i think some peoples claims take longer to get a decision if not much evidence has been sent in so alot of chasing about ringing professionals to confirm. So others get pushed back until that claim has a decision made. Some are more straight forward than others. its such a long wait and being at the end seems to be worse out of the whole wait.. wishing you luck!!

@Christinaja well that will be mine then because I sent hardly anything. Literally a letter from her therapist who wrote basically nothing which I was fuming about & the asd referral has only been sent in December so we haven’t had nothing back from that yet. The schools report was really detailed though. They have finally sent me a plan through from school do you think that will class as evidence?

@Girlmum11 I wouldn't worry, I have seen people get awarded sending in no evidence what so ever.. I haven't send a whole lot in tbh.. letter from speech therapy who see's my son every 2 week happy with that report.. a letter of health visitor that is short but says what's most important e.g globle development delay waiting for asd diagnosis and that he has terrible sleep pattern.. also a letter from his Paediatrician telling his struggles and that she is more than happy for me to send the letter off to support dla claim.. its still hard to think positive when it's taking so long!!

My son does not go nursery yet he is on a waiting list for a special needs nursery as he needs 1-1 . So I have no evidence regarding this

@Girlmum11 I think that the report from the school is substantial enough especially if they have done a detailed one.

@Christinaja oh I hope so 🤞 I called to ask about sending more evidence in & if it was to late & the fella just gave me a different number. He wasn’t very nice so I didn’t ask him anything 🙈 I’ll try the other number & see what they say.

@WreckTangled week 11 here too! Without being rude do you mind telling me a little about the private assessment you had done? 😊

got decision today, dla to pip for 16 year old. Paper assessment, 3 weeks from going to dm for letter to arrive with the award, higher for both. So relived! Has been award until 2029.

My scan date was 27/10, spoke to them this morning and they said it was with the case manager, a couple of hours later I got a text to say it was awarded. So I rang them back and they said it was HRC and LRM, and the back pay should be in this week. Hopefully others around this time will hear good news soon!

@Nothighgaprequired what’s the process of swapping over like?

Congratulations both! Great news.

Mine was scanned 28th so fingers crossed.

@Mynotsoperfectlittlefamily so happy for you 🥰 mine is 26/10 so hopefully I will hear something soon 🤞

Looks like we have all got the people who are working slow lol

My scan date is the 30/10 I phoned today a lovely man said it will go to dm this week I’m just worried because all I sent in was my sons My plan and his ECHP he has sensory issues and has to wear ear defenders in a busy places he can’t hold a knife or fork and can’t grip a pencil and is way behind his peers at school he has one to one teaching. Praying I hear something by the end of the week.

Yes 🙈

I’m currently on hold & my heart is in my mouth 😩 send positive vibes ✨

Good luck!☺️

@Girlmum11 sending you luck!!! 🥰🤞

@Snickerdoodles19 thank you, you too 😘
