DLA Wait Times Part 9 (2023)

[Lostatsea10]

Thought it was time for a new thread :)

I'm on 13weeks and one day and nothing :( I hate this waiting I haven't seen any awarded for December yet either, my scan date is the 5th

They might start awarding December this week. See people saying certain areas are getting awarded quickly

Yea I'm in south east, I read they are taking the longest lol xx

Do you know what areas are getting awarded quicker?

I don't know for certain but from what I read Kent and north are getting them quite quick, well around 15 weeks xx

@Patientlywaitingx2 mines 20th December scan date. This wait and not knowing is really taking its toll now. 8th November is the date on my sons forms. Just seems so long. I hope you get a decision this week

Oh great I'm in Essex probably be waiting until next hear lol x

My forms date is 8th dec as well. I rang up yesterday about sending additional letters hes had since ans she said its with a case worker now. Im assuming thats the decision maker. Its dragged. I should really of asked when it went to them x

Year* 🤣

Im liverpool but knowing my luck i will still be last x

Omg so just found out I got awarded yesterday so 13week! So relieved it's over xx

Aw made up for you what was your scan date xx

Sorry just seen 5th dec. Least thats a weight of your shoulders now x

Thank you xx

Lucky! I’m south east Kent 24th November and still nothing yet :(

Have you rang up to ask x

I just rang again. As it’s been 15 weeks and still no decision.
been with a decision maker since beginning of last week

No I haven’t, I had a missed call from a blocked number last Thursday which I guess might have been them but it was at 8.30am, no one ever called again though. That would have been 14 weeks then. So maybe it’s with a decision maker and I’ll find out soon. I don’t want to ring incase it’s declined :/

Hi all. Our scan date was 28th November and I just checked and found a payment has gone into my acct from DLA this morning! For those who received the payment first, how long did it take to receive the letter confirming the rate? Not sure I want to go through the effort of a call.

28 November still nothing

They will probably send a text saying you’ve been approved (or not) and a letter will follow. I got my test and back pay a fortnight ago and still no letter! They tried to call me but I missed the call.
if you are mid January you probably have quite a wait I’m afraid.

Still no letter nearly two weeks later. I rang to find out the amounts!

@Lisakel congratulations. Hope you got what you were hoping for

I reckon I've got 4 weeks left at the least. I'm down in the south west. Everything just seems to take a very long time

No me either!! Still waiting. It’s so frustrating seeing dates after ours being awarded, even though I am so happy when it’s good news.
I just want to be put out of my misery, it’s the most nerve wracking wait ever.
@chuggins usually a letter, and or text if you ticked that box!
@Patientlywaitingx2 isnt that always the case, then after you kick yourself 😂

Hi everyone - new here. My scan date is 5th December. I've already had the generic "we're still looking at your claim" and I called yesterday to be told end of March - early April for a decision.

However, I've just had the still looking at your claim text again today. Do they usually send it more than once?

The wait is killing me now, I just want to know if we've been awarded 😢
