@PookyBoo77 Have you had much communication from DLA at all, I am a few weeks behind you. Claiming for my daughter with Diabetes xx

Kmum23 · 04/10/2023 12:49

@PookyBoo77 amazing news, so happy the wait is over for you. Fingers crossed I am in the next couple days.

BoyMumGirlMum2022 · 04/10/2023 13:05

Thank you all. Its been a long road especially with being denied once before. I'm wishing you all the best for getting what you all deserve xx

@Mumtotwoboys121 I did send in quite a bit. As its a complicated medical diagnosis for my son.
No formal diagnosis though, a lot of back and forth for the last 3 and a half years.

@MummyBrx yes I was very surprised! Hopefully soon you will hear.
I can't make any rates work, possibly because the new and old.
He was awarded £2,364.70

@BoyMumGirlMum2022

17 weeks MRC and HRM that works out at £2364.70 Congratulations 🥳

PookyBoo77 · 04/10/2023 13:20

@Keddie No none really apart from
the letter to say they had received my claim and two texts 07:08 and 30/08 saying they were still looking at my claim but if you get to 17 weeks and haven’t heard, give them a call. I rang Monday and it wasn’t even with a decision maker, rang today and claim was awarded yesterday 17+4. Good luck xx

PookyBoo77 · 04/10/2023 13:21

@Kmum23 Thank you 😊 no I don’t think it’ll be long for you now. Good luck xx

VikingsandDragons · 04/10/2023 13:27

Hi everyone, can I ask did you get a text when it was scanned? Our renewal was in August, forms sent in July, signed for so I know they are there, but in previous year's we've always had a text but nothing this time, and obviously payments have stopped as her old one has expired but new one hasn't been determined yet.

@MummyBrx
Aw thank you so much. I wasn't 100% sure. As I didn't know if.it would be classed as 17 weeks as I thought I was only 16 weeks on Friday.

Mummy335 · 04/10/2023 13:55

@Muva306 hey, have you heard anything yet? X

Mumtotwoboys121 · 04/10/2023 14:03

I am 16 weeks today, I am off next Tuesday I may try and call but don’t want to be told to leave them alone ha ha x

Muva306 · 04/10/2023 14:09

No still nothing @Mummy335 it is making me think it’s been rejected again but I’m having hope & faith as they said it took taken anything between between 3-6 weeks and it’s only been with them 2 weeks, this Friday xx

MummyBrx · 04/10/2023 14:11

@BoyMumGirlMum2022

Did you ring up for the form if so it will be back dated to stamp date on form if you sent it back on time.

That's the only calculation I can get too anyway hopefully you should get a letter confirming soon.

Did you receive a text or just the payment in the account?

PookyBoo77 · 04/10/2023 12:42

Hi all, scan date 02/06, my son has just been awarded MRC. So pleased for him. Just for reference in case any other parents on here still waiting with a child with the same diagnosis, my son has type 1 diabetes. Good luck to all those still waiting, it’s an emotional rollercoaster but hang on in there xx

Amazing news! Congrats!

JME85 · 04/10/2023 14:17

@BoyMumGirlMum2022 17/6 is a Saturday. So you are 15weeks at the moment. I didn’t even know they scanned at weekends. Maybe catching up. Congrats Xx

Mummy3kids13 · 04/10/2023 14:23

Hi
first time posting and applying for dla. Sent forms off on the 19/6 they got them 23/6 rang up this Monday saying should hear by the 27/10 such a long process!! I don’t want to be waiting this long for my son to then be declined 😢

BoyMumGirlMum2022 · 04/10/2023 14:32

@MummyBrx No I got given the forms by my hv who printed them off for me.

I get notifications on my bank of incoming payments. That's the only reason I knew. Ad I haven't got a letter or a text yet.
Just had his reference number and dla dwp Cr on the payment incoming.

Mummy335 · 04/10/2023 14:45

@Muva306 Yeah, i suppose they have a lot of MRs to go through, probably a backlog of those now too.hope you do hear soon and it's positive for you. I'm not calling as i don't wanna know so just going to wait. Also there's no separate line to wait so could be hours just to get hold of them to get told the same as you and also only a week that I sent it too.x

Sammilh · 04/10/2023 14:48

Hi is anybody with scan date 31/05 still waiting to hear? I've received no back pay or any communication since August so worrying that we have been denied

@JME85 thank you. Honestly was expecting to he denied again.
Just unsure how they're working out the rates and stuff. I know I was surprised with the date as I sent them off about 3 weeks before that.

Ririjade1990 · 04/10/2023 15:07

This is a similar situation to my daughter, PTSD trauma, anxiety, self harm panic attacks and counselling. Scan date of 6/6 rang yesterday at 17 weeks and said not with DM yet and should hear back next week.

Caitlyn59 · 04/10/2023 15:18

My granddaughter was abused , went to cahms for a year but won’t talk about it she gets angry and upset , been having flashbacks and nightmares, she was self harming and felt she wanted to commit suicide as said finding it hard to cope with what happened, first time applying, been 15 wks since they got the form , sent in the diagnosis report, was unsure if anyone had been awarded for same .
