DLA wait times part 16 (2023)

[JME85]

Following on from part 15…

Many thanks. I was just confused as it has no figures on it and was dated 18th Oct

I'm on hold . See if I have an update , gut feeling is declined . I think only put in an autism diagnosis and confirmation of epilepsy. Scan date 22 June .

Good luck @allofthelove 🤞 for you x

I've caved and on hold to them now. Seeing July being awarded makes no sense when they are telling people from june to wait till end of November 🤣 so thought I'd call for a update have no hope that their is a update and a strong feeling my daughter will be declined but im sick of waiting now... congratulations @Lovely17 bet you feel so relieved now 🥳🥳 xx

Sorry, can’t tag everyone’s names. So relieved, he said the decision was made yesterday from 20/06 so full 18 weeks backdated. This is going to make a huge change for my daughter, so overwhelmed! The wait was worth it in the end. I’m rooting for you all, I really hope you all get the outcomes that you hope for. In regards to universal credit I have no idea what to say or what to do lol any help would be greatly appreciated xxx

Iv been cut off now 4 times 😩

@allofthelove oh no! I’m currently on 1hr 15mins

I just don’t get why they all say different things. I phoned this morning to check they had some paperwork I sent and I said is there an update with the claim like is it being looked at and she said all claims get assigned to a DM when they are scanned in and they will be worked on when they get to it. But most are being done by 19 weeks but I can’t see that being true as last week I was told by end of Nov and most are told that there’s aren’t With a DM yet. If they had a system they all followed and said the same it would stop so many calls.
We’re all anxious mummas waiting for what we know our children need. X

@Mummyrach13 it would defo stop a lot of confusion if they actually all stuck to the same script and information they are giving out! I'm same scan date as you so I'm not expecting anything from this phone call so I'm wasting my own time really but I can't understand how some dm's are already working on July when there is obviously a huge back log for June applications 😅 xx

What they are telling people makes no sense. My scan date is 25/7 and the end of November is 18 weeks for me!! Surely June dates can't be waiting that long. There should be an online system we can all log into and see the progress. Would make things much easier. Congrats to those who have been awarded. Good luck to those still waiting!!! I'm becoming more and more anxious now.

Allocated to a dm this weekend apparently but no further update.

This is what is frustrating. And some from may are still waiting I don’t understand it.
let me know what they say to you @Mumto2sengirlsxx as your prob get told something completely different 😂 xx

@Mummyrach13 they will probably tell me december 🤣 I'll let you know once I've got through im only at nearly 40 mins so got at least another half hour of listening to that awful holding tune 😅 xx

@Lovely17 UV is pretty straight forward go on to who lives with you click ur childs name and trll it what u got ❤️ so happy u have been awarded im the 3rd so fingers x mine wont be much longer, i seen yesterday some one that was the 4th being awarded

@Emsychap awww it's such an emotional moment isn't it. Good luck when you get through xx

@Sskanf looks like they are working on July ? x

@Jneill2021 hey no I’ve not heard a thing I’m guessing you haven’t too 😵‍💫 x

Seems there's a few July claims being awarded now. I'm going to call Thursday as will be 16 weeks for me then. They received my extra evidence today in a mountain of other claims/forms x
