DLA wait times part 16 (2023)

[JME85]

Following on from part 15…

What was your scan date again!? I know you've probably said a thousand times but it's a lot of chat to look back on haha! Congratulations on finally getting your award! 🥳👏

OMG I’m so happy for you @Mumto2sengirlsxx when was the decision made did they say? Eeek I’m so scared mine will be a decline! Well done lovely xx

20/7 here and 14 weeks today, the end is the worst and knowing may have to wait until December is just nuts! Congrats to all who have been awarded today!

Yay same scan date as me did you find out via text I'm so nervous now 😭 xx

@Mummyrach13 I'd defo ring up and find out if yours is sorted hun I held my breath when she told me, I'm still in disbelief tbh now im panicking I've given them the wrong bank details 🤣 @Tmxx my scan date is 26/6 called 2 days ago to be told 2nd week of November but seen people with my scan date being awarded so decided to call today im so glad I did now! Xx

@Mummyrach13 oh sorry yeah I asked they said she was awarded today xx

I’m thinking they have just left me on hold & gone home 😂🤣, not sure if they wait around for calls waiting since 4:30..

I really don’t think it goes by date if I’m honest as I see some awards after earlier scan dates…I am starting to believe it goes by what pile you go in 😅x

Awr congrats!! @Mumto2sengirlsxx

Totally agree @Rebeccanew I think some of them are quicker than others

They disconnect at 5.30 @Caroline6623

Brilliant @Mumto2sengirlsxx super happy for you! I only phoned Tuesday and wasn’t even being looked at so scared to call again.
Now have UC on my back to attend a meeting as my husband had a lower wage this month due to starting a new job, so we’re usually always in Light touch group.
Im praying with all I have that we are awarded as my boy is so dependant on me all the time xx

Caroline6623 did you get through?Any news x

@Mummyrach13 mine wasn't being looked at Tuesday either, I half expected them to say it hadn't been looked at or it was with a dm but she asked for my sort code and account number for bank which is weird cause they normally ask doctor name and address but then was like yep she's been awarded very straight to it couldn't wait to get me off the phone tbh 🤣 my partner said I need to calm down because I'm panicking that they gave me the wrong details because they didn't ask much security. And surprise I haven't recieved the text message they said I would so I'd call in the morning and see if yours has been sorted. Seems like it's taking ages to get to a dm but once it's there it's being looked at quickly xx

@Mumto2sengirlsxx that's 2 weeks and 1 day before my scan date! Hopefully that means in that amount of time I will get my decision 🙏🤞 xx

@Loopy2406 unfortunately not, they hung up bang on 5:30 😭 I’ll try at exactly 9am tomorrow morning, hope they don’t tell me my son’s file is still in a holding que 😩 x

@Tmxx fingers crossed you get your answers soon and the outcome you want. I knew my daughter was entitled to HRC but honestly didn't expect her to get that award so when they told me earlier I could of broke down in tears after such a long wait and fighting schools etc it's nice when someone looks at the evidence and "believes you" xx

Ahh so happy for you knowing the relief you must feel! Thats exactly it.. To know they actually believe you and think you deserve what you know you do must be a great feeling!! Xx

@Tmxx oh defo! I've been pretty lucky tbh both my girls now have dla without fighting and I got pip awarded first try and was believed when everyone round me didn't so that was lovely! Really hoping you and others don't have to wait for much longer now and all get the awards your children deserve! Xxx

@Mumto2sengirlsxx i bet it feels so surreal right now! I’m glad you got it first time you deserve it! I feel really anxious we have always had to fight for everything and just feel like this will be a fight too! Xx

@Mummyrach13 oh it is. Honestly I still don't believe they told me the right info 🤣 I really didn't expect HRC at all. I knew she would be entitled as I had evidence to show her falls because of her feet, evidence to show she can't walk more than a certain amount due to the pain in her legs through her hypermobility and how her spine curves to the right, but only sent her physio report and other letters so half expected MRC like my eldest got. I'm so glad I will be able too fund everything she needs too help her. Really hope you call tomorrow and find out the dread feeling you have doesn't mean anything I felt the same way hun but im so glad I called now!! Please keep me updated on your answers ❤️ xx

I sure will do @Mumto2sengirlsxx she really does deserve it. Enjoy spoiling her!
I think I’m going to hold out until Monday when we would have been 18 weeks as may have a decision then. You defo were awarded correctly! ❤️ xx

How many of us are still waiting with June dates and what dates are you?
hopefully they will get through these quickly now and then onto July for you ladies waiting From then. X
