DLA wait times Part 13

[Piony]

I see thread 12 is full. Is there a Part 13 already, or shall we make this it?

Yeah I spoke to a lovely man he said up to 18 weeks so he said it shouldn’t take to long now as I’m on week 16 now so fingers crossed hear somethink soon xx

Nothing to do with claim being with DM or being awarded but my daughters claim has FINALLY been found after 6 weeks. Luckily the scan date will still be the 11/08.
Let the wait begin🫡

That’s good news. Fingers crossed it’s speedy for you x

Thank you so nervous xx

Call again for update xx cause sometimes you awarded and they haven’t told you xx

how long can it be with desicion maker xx

1hour to 2 weeks meh!! Tried ringing as were same scan date and not able to get through keeps ending call.

Thank you! X

Thank you. We're at a hospital appointment now so will try when we get out. I've been fine this whole time but now I can't stop thinking about it x

Ahhh try again when did yours go to dm xxx

Hi my scan date was 9/6 I’ve not received any texts at all just 2 letters one stating 11 weeks and one stating 15 weeks. This is for a COC though is this right do u think?

I’m coc and I have been waiting since the 27th March I rang this morning and they said end of September coc are taking between 28-30 weeks he said

Thanks for your reply I can’t believe it’s taking that long for coc 😵‍💫

Scan date 20th still not been picked up from Monday but callig today, they are likely going to fob me off, god I wanna fob me off but its the not knowing its horrid

Because you’re 23/05 you could also hear early next week. Call tomorrow and check if a decision has been made.

It looks like most people that get an awarded text receive between 11-2pm. Some have found out by calling, and some the DM called them to confirm things before receiving a text. It seems most people get a decision exactly 4 weeks after second text. People are being awarded between 17/18 weeks. It’s worth a try calling on the 17th week mark and requesting a text message of outcome. I will be doing this once I reach 17 weeks.

same as me fingers crossed xx

Good news, after a long 18 weeks wait a decision has been made to award HRC and LRM for my daughter, the lady said they are working on may now and it doesn't go off dates specific however the month is worked on as a whole with different DMs recieving pikes for the month. Can anyone tell me word for word what I write to UC please. I am terrible without help lol

Hi everyone,

Do renewals take the same amount of time as new claims?

well dine xxx
what date was you and when did it go to a dm?
how did you find out outcome I’m so nervous xx

Scan date 20th May, went to DM Tuesday, awarded today 11.40.

Can anyone tell me in general how long it takes for a decision maker to make a decision on a claim ? It's been with the decision maker for 2 days I'm just curious

Same I’m hoping very soon xx

thanks all I had guessed around then. I know some are paid wednesdays now but no idea why
