DLA wait times part 17.. (2023)

[Mummyrach13]

Following on from part 16…..

Still not been looked at, in the decision makers pile could be another 2 weeks, this is a joke

Just got off phone said decision should defo be made by the 3rd nov as its 18 weeks. She said decision hasn’t been made so don’t know whether to take that as it’s with a dm or not 😬 she said call next week and chase it up lovely woman waited 1 min on hold bang on 9am scan date 30/6

@Muva25 same scan date as me! Basically told the same thing

Congrats @neuromummy 🎉

Still quite a few of us for June then, We’ve got this far ladies the end is in sight! Just hope it’s good news for us all! ❤️ x

Over the MOON!

My 3yo daughter was awarded yesterday - MRC HRM from 16th May 2023 to 15th May 2025. Back pay of £3338.40 to hit my account in a few days time. (27/6 scan date)

I'm so ecstatic that this stressful, depressive journey is now over for both my children and they'll now get what they rightly deserve!

Good luck to everyone else waiting on an outcome!

Did you get back payment @neuromummy or call up? Seen you called on Friday and it wasn’t with a DM was it? Xx

Let’s hope more awards today…they seem to be at a slow pace…how do I see a lot of end of June still waiting xxx

@neuromummy aww massive congrats!! That’s fab news… how did you find out? Xx

@neuromummy congratulations 🎉 so happy for more 29th being awarded today. Gives me hope xx

Morning all, good luck to everyone today still quite a lot of us between 26-30th waiting on results, lady I spoke to yesterday said to call for results on 10th went to DM Monday, I must be at the bottom of the pile which wouldn’t surprise me 😂 fingers crossed it’s all positive results ! Scan date 29/06

Called Monday to be told not with a DM yet, called today to be told my son was declined DLA days ago. So upset. Guess a MR is necessary now. How do I go about it? Does anyone have any tips please?? Xx

Hi,
first time posting

my scan date is 26/06

went to DM last week
call yesterday for update
told me my form was not signed property
& now send returning forms to me to re-sign
question is once i have signed them & send them back does any1 know
how long it will take or has it happen to anyone
thank you

I’m so sorry, have they said why?

Hi boymummy if you don’t mind me asking what grounds did you apply on asi what did you send in Thankyou? Xxxx

@Doymum no they didn't tell me on what grounds they just said wait for a letter 😕 so disappointed. Xx

@Boymummyof2 Hi , sorry to hear of your decline , did you send much evidence in , I’m still waiting 26/6 , I have a feeling mine is going to be a decline also , x

@Rebeccanew Hey, I applied for my sons asthma. He has had it since he was 2 and it's so bad we are in hospital on ventilators and having steroids ever month. He takes regular medication for it as he struggles to walk any distance without his inhaler. We send it nearly 200 pages of hospital admissions, ambulance reports, medication breakdowns since he was 2 and they still declined him. Xx

Ohh wow boymummy! Over 200pages also that’s disgusting to be declined I would defo do a MR! Sorry for you and your little boy! I’d wait for the letters and mr! With detail on each point they declined for! I sometimes think they don’t even read it properly…xxxxxxx

@Boymummyof2 so sorry sweet, 100% go for MR , with that much evidence that’s so wrong of them to decline , fight it and get what he deserves!! ❤️

todays awfully 50/50 with the decisions isn’t it .. hope everyone’s coping well ! X

Hi, I'm so sorry to hear this.

Ring them and ask them for a copy of the full report, then write a letter formally asking for a MR highlighting any inaccuracies or contradictions.

Good luck!

Congratulations!

Congrats!

And see results like that is what I don’t think theses workers understand why we keep calling and pestering , waiting 18 odd weeks to get a decline .. do they not understand how this affects people mentally.. this whole process has infuriated me beyond words 😴 that’s why I don’t have it in me to call because I do tend to lash out at situations like this only because I have passion for it in sense it should be dealt with better and constantly messing with peoples heads is not ok… sorry for anyone getting declined please fight for what your children deserve !

Question regarding the Disabled Child Element on UC.

I know my son is entitled to the Higher Rate as as his DLA award is HRC LRM.

What rate would my daughter be entitled to with MRC HRM?
