Dla part 10

[Patientlywaitingx2]

Called up today and the wait gets pushed back further and further has anyone been awarded recently

Congratulations!

@Lodol thankyou hopefully yours will be sorted this week. I rang Fri and it was still with dm but the gentleman said today it was done on Fri so it was only with the dm for 4 days x

My scan date was 4 weeks ago. Maybe I should hide this thread and come back to it closer to the time😅 I really do have a longggg way to go!

Good luck to everyone who’s phoning up this week🤞

Just had a text to say that my son qualifies, after having one earlier that said they are still looking at the claim. I can't believe it. The money will help him so much! Don't know the rates or anything, yet. So, the decision took 12 weeks, 3 days. I hope you all get some good news soon x

@Toomanyplates23 congratulations! give them a call tomorrow they'll tell you the rates! hoping i get a text😂x

Thank you. I will try and call in my lunch break. Really hope you get a good news text too x

Congratulations

Congratulations fingers crossed for the rest of us

Congratulations!

hi everyone im still abit confused with the back payments,
it looks like carers allowence gets back dated when i requested the child disability element on UC to be backed, does anyone know if both get back dated or both x

Hello , I have good news. I called today and my son was awarded last thursday . Scan date was 19/12 .
Good luck to everyone

I'm a carer to both of my parents who have dementia plus my DD who currently receives DLA high-rate care. Her current award expires 25th April and I didn't get a chance to submit her renewal until 5th March because caring for my 3 family members took up every spare minute I had! The DLA still hasn't made a decision on my DD's renewal application and I'm worried that time is running out. I'm aware that some people who applied back in November still haven't received a decision and my daughter's care will suffer if we are without her DLA for any length of time.

Does anyone know whether renewal applications are assessed in the order they are received, how near the renewal date is, or other criteria? For example, my daughter has 4 serious disabilities - does this mean her claim will take longer to assess than a child who has 1 disability? Thanks.

They’re doing renewals right up to the day Anskl.

Scan date 21/01 just phoned as I wanted to update my notes, was told that it will go to a DM in a few weeks. Hopefully the wait isn’t that much longer and I should hear something by May

I rang this morning my scan date 27/1 was told by mid next week it should be with DM if I havnt heard anything ring back by the middle of first week in may

just got off the phone, had a lovely lady answer our claim is now with decision maker! does anyone know roughly how long it takes? scan date 20/01 x

Mines 19/01 rang today and no decision as of yet was advised although it goes to a DM it depends on where it is on their to do some action same day some is longer

mine went to DM last Thursday

Oh wow! The guy I spoke with today was a little grumpy and asked me a lot more security questions then normal, fingers crossed I’ll try and phone end of the week for an update

i think i'll wait for monday to call back if i've not heard anything, hoping i'm one of the lucky ones that get a text when a decision is made😂

Lol it depends who you speak to some are super helpful and some must be on autopilot from the amount of calls they receive!

some people seem to be receiving text messages fingers crossed for everyone! :)

I hope I’ll be 3rd time lucky because the first 2 I’ve spoke with haven’t been great and it doesn’t help that I’m an anxious speaker on the phone 🤣 they must know before they pick up.. good luck to everyone this week though 🤞🏾

@Leigh3 the one that answered today was like mrs doubtfire, sounded like a sweet old lady but my last call wasn't great, the man was quite rude x

I’m going to try and be a bit hopeful that mine goes to a dm this week if yours has gone to one today

I had letter last week to say our scan date was 12th of March so even that took 4 weeks to send 😥

I had a conversation with a lady from CAMHS today she rang regarding the filtering process and chasing his school up and what not. I told her I had applied for DLA for my Son and she told me he would likely not get it without a diagnosis 🙈🙈🙈 I hope she is wrong.
