Dla wait times part 14

[Tiredmamma74]

New thread as others are full

@Muva306 what's the point in filling in a form if they aren't going to look at it we spend alot of time and anxiety completing it.I feel for you on the poo situation 😕 must be tiring. My little one used to do that but hasn't done for a while now she gone the opposite and hates/wont touch anything to her that looks disgusting 😂 she get extremely upset if she just a bit dirty from spilling ice cream. I think the form would've got there today. Let me know what they say about yours xx

Friday I rang them when I got to 26 weeks as they told me 4 weeks before that 26 weeks and then at 26 weeks they change their minds again absolute nightmare x

When I last rang they said I should have a decision at the end of this month I think they just tell you what they feel like saying on that day 😂

Yeah it’s absolutely ridiculous every single person I’ve spoken to changes their mind on dates times etc I’m giving them untill next Friday then when I hit 28 weeks and if still nothing I think I might make a complaint x

managed to get through! Scan date 31/05 it’s still in holding, it’s actually like waiting to be hung 😅 he did say managers pick so many from holding each Monday and pass them to DM to complete that week and they are also working overtime which is helpful to know. He obviously can’t guarantee but said he’s hopeful mine will be sent to DM next week!

Your exactly the same scan date as me for my new claim the wait is beyond bearable now hopefully next week it gets passed over like the gentleman said to you hopefully not too much longer x

Hi everyone just jumping in have been following my scan date is 22/05 for my daughter who's 4 has gdd and autism sent lots of evidence and everything still not heard a thing nothing at all only the scan date letter
I'm in the Cheshire area just wanted to ask what details do I need if I phone them thanks everyone and best of luck x

You just need yours and your child details date of birth address etc. x

That's great thankyou I might give them a ring later after I get my daughter from nursery good luck 🤞

I’m still on hold one hour and 6 minutes its so frustrating x

I was the same I gave up waiting I’ll give them a ring next Wednesday 18 week mark x

Got through and line went dead try again another day 🤦‍♀️

I called yesterday, waited for an hour and 20mins but got through to a lovely man, my scan date was 8th June, he said roughly17 and half weeks and then passed to DM where it could be another 10 days so looking at mid-end October.
My DDs situation has got worse since I applied so he put an update on for the DM

@Mummy335 took 1 for the team 😂 was on hold for AGES but they confirmed they had received it. Was scanned the same day it arrived for 22nd Sept. She said it’s taking 3-6 weeks
for MRs

Has anyone else been waiting 18 weeks? My scan date is 25/5, I don’t know whether to call or wait.

Hello all long time reader but first time poster.

I called to make a new child DLA claim on 9/6/2023 received the application pack sent off with a few letters from the clinic my 7 year old girl is with (ARFID clinic) and the acceptance letter from CHAMS. My scan date is 12/07/2023 so 11 weeks and 1 day wait so far. My little one has suspected ASD/ADHD/SPD, she has been on sleep medication for the last few weeks didn’t take to the tablet version so has been moved to liquid melatonin since last Friday, I’m debating if I should call them and update them that she’s on the medication for the severe sleep delay or would that delay them making a decision. I have more letters from the ARFID clinic with there reports but nervous in sending them again just in case it delays them even more.

any advice possible please x

We are at 18 weeks today - scan date 25/5. Just got off the phone with a rather unhelpful lady who couldn't seem to tell me whether our claim was with a decision maker or not, and just kept repeating that it's a 20 week wait now.

@Muva306 I'm on the phone at the minute making sure my evidence has been scanned on before they start the MR lol

Hi my scan date is the 11th so we are basically the same! Everyone here seems to have mostly had a decision by week 18! So I was working towards the 24th October being the date I'd find out but its looking more towards half way threw November! Goodluck with yours keep me updated! 🤣😁

I would try again tomorrow and hope for a better call handler I rang Monday I think it was lost count and a man told me they are taking around 18 weeks so I would
expect yours to be with a dm now maybe if you can try at 9am they maybe in a better mood having just started work 🤣🤣fingers crossed for you xxx

Got through they looked at my claim again and she has been awarded!! Honestly shaking!

Congratulations 🎊

@CHDmumma thankyou!! Good luck everyone 🤞

@Muva306 thanks 😂that's good, least they done it the same day they received it.the wait isn't to bad fingers crossed. I'll make the next call haha.x
