DLA wait times part 16 (2023)

[JME85]

Following on from part 15…

Me too!

How is the thread already on page 7 and it hasn’t even been here for 12 hours😂😅

My letter took around 6 weeks to arrive when DS was awarded earlier this year. Most people receive payment before the letter!

I'm 26/07 so we should all get updated thr same-ish sort of times hopefully

I'm 26/07 so we're super close together in dates so should hopefully all hear around the same sort of time for updates

Think they are telling people a bit longer to avoid people calling before they make the decision, some tell people not to call for ages then get awarded around the 17-18 week mark still xx

Scan date 27 june
First text 5 Sept
Second text 25 September

Just had payment into my bank. Not sure the rates though. Maybe mrc and lrrm.
So they seem to be going faster through June .

Ooh don't make me excited like that 😁

@RMNofTikTok hope you'll get your answer soon 😁 Don't know whether they assess them by area at all. It's odd that some haven't heard from May/June, whilst I saw someone in July get approved.

Oh god I'm 26/06! So could be any day then 🙏🏼

I'm the 27/7 such a long wait just wish the process was much quicker.

Oh my gosh, really? I’m just worried about the timeframe for MR should we have been declined so maybe I need to call next week.

Thank you

Does anyone know once you have been awarded how long back date payment takes. Also does anyone know how long it take for a MR descion. My scan date was 3rd or 4th July! So beggining of November is when I'm hoping to hear but just trying to think and prep ahead 😊 x

Oh @Mammashaz congrats!

same dates of texts as me. Scan date 26/6. Did the money go in this morning? I have awful feeling we will need to do a MR x

Back payment is 3-5 days.

im not 100% but think they say 3 weeks for MR decision but someone else might know for sure.

I have seen 2 people with 27/6 awarded today with back pay. X

hi all my scan date is 25/7, am not planning to ever call, because is very stressfull, i rather just wait.

@roki you are the same scan date as me!! I also don't plan on ringing. I'm just going to wait it out. Unless it goes right into December then I might call.

hi my scan date is 25/7 one letter and 0ne text, am not planning on calling, i will just wait for the outcome, do not want to stress myself even more by calling them😀

oh let keep updating, so stressfull to spend hours on hold to be told nothing to be honest, i just rather wait like u said until december.

My scan date was 25/7.
No letters just 1 text on 2/10.
I can’t stop thinking about it and must check this thread about five times a day 🤦‍♀️😂
Can’t imagine what I will be like when it gets close to when we should hear!

Congratulations Must be a relief. You received an earlier response than most after 2nd txt
What area are u from perhaps they do go by thar

No way! That's amazing congrats! This confuses me now on how they work! I thought it was by date but that is well ahead of others! So happy your waiting is done 🥳

Me too, the waiting game has never been a strong point of mine ots crazy how long it all takes I think I'd prefer it if I received a text every week just to say its still not been looked at yet, just a little update of what's going on

20/07 here! The waiting agonising haha

@roki I've had two letters and one text so far. I have worked out that the second text should be 23/10 but we will see. I just can't believe how long we all have to wait.
