DLA wait times part 18…. (2023)

[Mummyrach13]

Following on from part 17…

@Tmxx you’re absolutely right you don’t notice it when you have no choice but to do it it’s nothing heroic to you as you have no choice but when others point it out you do realise how much more care our littles need! I will stick around here until I see you’ve got a decision hun x

Congratulations! 🥳🥳 the wait is finally over , can I ask where abouts you are from as it seems to work at about the same times being award then random ones from further get awarded now and then so wonder if it is an area with less claims!? Xx

Thank you so much hun! I wish you all the best in the future with you little one and hope your award gets you all the extra thing you need 🥰 I'm thinking mine won't be until earlier next week! Wanted to ring Friday but that is my boys 13th bday so definitly won't be available too! Xx

@Lollypops88 and @Kelz23 any news

@MumOf5Skids sorry was yiur scan date 15/7?

I was under the impression that scan date is the date they received the forms. So my letter says thanks for your claim we received them on 06/07. But the date the letter was sent was 20/07. So is 06/07 the scan date? X

Update.

3/7 (18 weeks today).
Claim is still with a decision maker! (since last Thursday) & they should make a decision this week or by the end of next week latest 😫. My anxiety is going through the roof still!

He did say though that they should text me as I requested a text and it shows that on the system.

Good luck for this week ladies 🙏🏻🤞🏻 hope you all get awarded!! X

@Tmxx
were Suffolk.
ive had scan date at 15/7 as that’s the date on my letter but the forms were received on 4th which is 18w tomorrow

@Asdmummyhere yes yours is the 06/07! The date they recieved it:) that’s what I think everyone goes by? My letter said recieved 03/07 but didn’t get the letter until mid July x

@Nicole313 on hold chic, they said it wasnt with a dm on friday but will go over the weekend/early this week and said that not every dm hasa text message service when awarded so just ringing to see what happening 🌈🤞🤞🤞

@Nicole313 not heard nothing yet I’ve just got in from taking me youngest to his Sen school I’ll try and give them a call but I doubt there will be any update as it wasn’t even with decision maker on Friday 😭.

@NatalieAnn92x thank you, got a little confused then and had a bit of a panic on 🤣 I was told last Thursday 2 weeks to be allocated so just keeping an eye on here and hoping for similar dates to be awarded x

Wow @MumOf5Skids well done 15/7 wow this gives me hope mine will be looked at soon

i finally got through they said it’s close to going with decision maker but to keep checkint my bank etc and watch out for a text! I hope my wait is over soon! Good luck everyone xxxx

@Lollypops88 @Kelz23 I'm on hold now as they said it was allocated to weekend team good luck ladies

Congrats to all awarded today. Fingers crossed you guys on hold get answers.

Fingers crossed for you @Lollypops88 as I'm sure ur scan date was near mine? Xx

@Sockbabies 3/7 hun x

My claim was declined so will be doing mr just have to wait for statement of reasons hope your awarded and get what you all deserve

I thought so as I was 5/7. Fingers crossed for you xx

@Tmxx yeah it went to a DM last Tuesday but got awarded Friday. Which it must’ve been late Friday (DM working overtime) as I called and got through literally just before 5 and no update xx

Congrats to those being awarded!!! Scan date 25/7. Really hope they are getting through July quicker. Good luck to those still waiting.

@MumOf5Skids oh wow that’s amazing news and earlier than expected 🙌

@Nicole313 im so sorry you where declined, but you have got this far and ready for the fight 💪 you have got this 🌈🌈🌈

Someone from the Job Centre told me they do get through July and August dates quicker as less people apply at the end of the school year but he said not to quote him on it as he'd never worked in the DLA or Pip its just from a colleague in those departments he's heard

@Lollypops88 thanks hun x

So sorry @Nicole313 it’s heartbreaking waiting this long for decline ( I think ours will be too) fight it every step of the way.
