DLA wait times part 16 (2023)

[JME85]

Following on from part 15…

@Tmxx my scan date is the 10/7 I rang two weeks ago to upstate some details I had a second text on the 2/10 they didn’t give me a time scale just said ring back in November but I am tempted to call but if people haven’t been contacted yet I’m June I’m holding off.

Eeekkk @Mumto2sengirlsxx 🤞 let me know what they say to you! I’m exactly the same I’m scared to call now just in case!
thinking positive thoughts for you xx

That's my thoughts about people in June still being done but I've seen random dates in July being done too!! Seems to be an order they do them then randomly do a couple way further along!! lets hope we're in the pile of the quick dm 🤣🤣

Wow your only a day ahead of me but had the second text a week before me! Maybe that means something!? Will be interesting to see if it means you get awarded then a week later I do 🤣xx

@Mumto2sengirlsxx same I feel like they’re gonna tell me to stop calling 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Tmxx It’s so nerve racking isn’t it, I’m not sure I sent enough evidence and seeing people not awarded is making it worse. I will let you know if I call but to be honest I’m trying not to. This is the first time I’ve ever done this so it’s all new to me but frustrating they send letters out saying 15 weeks but keep changing. I keep looking for July dates I’ve seen one I think but hopefully as we go into next week we will see more

@Emsychap I said this to my partner he basically said "F them" what are they gonna do on the phone and you have every right to call everyday to ask for a update especially when they are late on so many peoples claims. They wouldn't give us the same leeway if we was late on renewal claims xx

Keep reminding yourself that it's their job.

It’s true @Mumto2sengirlsxx plus if they all said the same guidelines then it would stop a lot of the calls! You’ve got this x

@Sunshineclouds11 exactly! Still nervous I'll get someone snotty though that doesn't wanna be working there 🤣 42 mins on hold so got a while to wait yet haha xx

@Doymum oh my god ao nerve racking! If I am declined I am definitly not going threw with a MR this is too much already I would be a wreck and not be able to function I think doing that! I am the same I want an update but also really trying to hold off ringing until 18 weeks!
It's insane because 18 weeks is 2 weeks and 5 days away but it feels like an eternity! If I ring I will tag you on this and let you know anything they tell me xx

Any update on what dates they are on?? Confusing as I have seen some June ten some July also surely they should be catching up with the Batlog now! Wow! I dare ring I hear different all the time lol

Well done sillysausage, so glad your wait is over, and had tbe right outcome x

I wouldnt focus too much on awaiting a text, i didnt ask for 1 and i got it, others who requested 1 dont it's just luck of the draw if the DM has the facility to do it, hang on in there ladies x

1 hour 43 mins on hold and 58 mins before but it cut off 😫😫😫

@Cocopops22 oh no im at 1 hour 32 mins really hoping it doesn't cut me off ill be fuming!! Xx

@Mummyrach13 OMG!! The quickest phone call ever straight away she said been awarded!!!

HRC and LRM im in shock Me and my partners heart dropped and we both just nearly cried 🤣🤣 xxx

I rang up 2 weeks ago with a scan date of 20/7 & was told to expect it to go to DM on 16th Nov & expect a decision around 6th Dec

I didn't manage to ring today so still no clue if a decision has been made or not , little one was blue lighted into hospital last night with low oxygen levels and excessive work of breathing:( were home now though so hoping to call tomorrow. Did any one with the scan date of 15/06 or around then hear anything today ?

@Hannahlou94xx omg! Hope your okay hun! Loads of people from your scan date have had decisions, I'm 26/6 and finally found out just our decision xx

Does anyone have a rough Idea of the dates they are currently working on? x

Finally got through, scan date 23/06 , awarded HRC for my 4 year old autistic son. I sent ILP, letter from GP, and I wrote loads of info myself and had SENCO fill in the form .
I am 18 weeks tomorrow it went with a DM on Tuesday and I was awarded earlier today. What a relief !! Good luck to all, also those who are doing an MR I am going to do one as well for mobility needs .. good luck all do not give up I was awarded PIP and so was my brother after being declined first and then doing an MR , you have got this don’t give up ❤️❤️❤️

Currently on hold, think I may be cut off as nearing 5pm…scan date 23/6…18 weeks tomorrow, this will be my 3rd time calling them now 😩

@Mumto2sengirlsxx I'm absolutely exhausted ! After a night of oxygen and nebulisers he's home with a course of steroids so hopefully they help! I'll call in the morning to ask if a decision has been made x

@Caroline6623 I'm 21/06 called yesterday and was told the same, no issue with it just waiting to be allocated 🤷‍♀️ plus side, waiting longer you don't lose anything (this is what I'm telling myself anyway!)

@Harrydog111 very true…hope we hear soon, absolute stressful nightmare all this 🙃 still on hold…now my phone battery is low 😂🤦🏼‍♀️
