[JME85]

Following on from part 15…

Oh sorry wrong post 😂 can tell I'm new my scan date is 26/06

Just called and got through after 1 hour and 15 minutes on hold.

Scan date 23/06. Had a really nice man and he said it’s going to DM next week and to call back 2 weeks today and should have the decision.

Finally the wait is over HRC LRM backdated till 16th June. Universal credit back pay also sorted and will be in account by Tuesday. Keep positive ladies and good luck to everyone waiting

Congrats @Ethanboy 😊

Same scan date as me @Gra89he let us know how you get on when you get through 🤞

Good afternoon.

Just got through after an hours and 25 minutes.

Lovely kind patient lady i spoke to, is now with a DM. Told if i havent heard anything within 10 working days to ring back.

Scan date 20/6

Same as you Lovely, so hopefully yours is with DM too.

@Leighs2gorgeousboys oh, I’m 10mins on hold haha I might as well hang up because they’ll probably say the same as they’ve said to you! God this wait has had me anxious as anything. 10
working days… that would take us to nearly 20 weeks!! They’ll have the decision by the end of the weekend since they’ve been working to clear the backlog…this is driving me mad 😠 lol x

@Leighs2gorgeousboys im not hanging up, gonna see what they say to me lol too impatient for this x

@Gra89he same scan date let me know what they say please 🙏 🙂 xx

Hi everyone, I spoke to a lovely lady this morning who told me, I have approx a 2wk wait and if I haven't heard back within 3wks to give them a call. Scan date was 26.6. Hope this helps anyone near my date xxx

Thank you!
Seems to be afew of us with the same date.

There does! I'm hoping she quoted worst case scenario to stop me from calling back 😆, although to be fair it's the first time I've ever called them! x

On hold for one hour spoke to a lovely man not with a DM maker yet should be with a DM by the 30th then another few weeks wait after that X

Looking at another few weeks yet :/ I'm wondering if there's only one DLA office the number I call us in Wolverhampton xx

Just received my award letter. Do I need to upload a copy to the UC journal?

I’ve been on hold 1hr 33mins now.. the first time I rang I got cut off after 23mins… hope they answer before I have to go n do school run! X

@Muva306 hi how long after being awarded did you receive your letter? Thanks xx

Finally got through after 1hr 47mins & he said mine went to DM yesterday so not long now woo x

@Lovely17 hi what is your scan date
thanks and good luck

@Caitlyn59 hi it’s 20/06… feels like I’ve been waiting years never mind months! Thank you x

Did you send much in with your form

Hello all,

I haven’t sent any evidence with my application, we moved counties whilst on waiting list for assessment for adhd , I have neurodevelopment teacher questionnaires and vandabilt filled in from 2 of his teachers that outline his care needs at school could I send this as evidence? We got withdrawn from our initial referral due to moving out of area and are having to start all over again, the school are doing a SPOA and we have doctors next week to discuss right to choose referral . ( we had been on the waiting list since 2022 and only just found out we had been removed)

Thanks

scan date 29/06/2023

@Lovely17 thats good its gone to the dm im the 3rd not far behind you 🤞❤️❤️❤️

@Caitlyn59 erm… I sent language and communication report, ed physc report, camhs first assessment letter after she’d been seen, proof of her arterial septal defect, and told them
shes now attending a Sen school. Senco filled in the page they had to fill in, they went into great detail as well! Hoping it’s the outcome I’m wanting.. really worrying about it now though. x

@Lollypops88 my fingers are so tightly crossed for everyone, I’m not gonna bother ringing anymore now I’m just wait it out until I either get a text or payment or a big fat decline letter haha x

Just got through after 1 hour 40 mins, lovely lady but she said they’re taking 20 weeks now and be looking at end of November! Jeez I hope not! X

End of November will take me to almost 23 weeks x
