DLA wait times part 18…. (2023)

[Mummyrach13]

Following on from part 17…

@Loopy2406 my son was awarded Friday. On phone lady said 3-5 days so Friday latest.
it’s now showing pending in my bank for Wednesday x

back to this now as the stress begins once more. eldest sons DLA due tomend December 28th. finally sent the form off today as had a family bereavement to deal with.
and to top it all his payment this month would normally have gone in at midnight and hasn't . don't suppose anyone else was expecting a payment that hasn't gone in

I've not received my child tax credits at midnight... In a panic here, it's all I have for the week...

@Mummyrach13 I'm due January 2nd but she will be here in December 😊 ask them too verify that the dla has been verified and the element will be added to future statements that's what I did hun... did you sort your appointments? Have they accepted you now as a carer and won't be needing to go? Xxx

I'm panicking too. a little reassured I guess that someone else's payment hasn't gone in fingers crossed for you that it's sorted by morning

@BoyMumGirlMum2022 try not to stress, you’re nearly there! I just had a look at my UC history and my first letter was received on the 10th, second letter stating how much the backpay would be came exactly 7 days later on the 17th.

Hopefully it’ll only be a week or so for you to receive the second letter. You’ve done the tough bit of waiting for a decision from DWP, you’re entitled to the backpay via UC so you will get it soon don’t worry (I know that’s easier said than done!)

Keep us updated

@Stressedsoph1 I really hope you got your payment!!! Mine went in at nearly 2 this morning. Not sure if it's HMRC or Barclays but I can breathe finally... Well except waiting for DLA decision. 17 weeks today. Fingers crossed for everyone waiting.

@Mumto2sengirlsxx ah how exciting for you all! I left a message about the appt and the job centre cancelled it for me which is great but I haven’t heard anything at all about if the elements have been verified. I only had a message back to say they would send it to decision makers to ask for it to be backdated when I updated the changes. Xx

mine was also in when I woke up thankfully guessing it was a Barclays issue as I'm also with Barclays.
now to get back to fretting about his review. such a difficult form to complete, no real change but as 2 years have passed and he's 12 all the developmental issues seem so much worse. I never imagined I'd still be having to wash and dress him when he reached secondary school and the daily meltdowns are something else especially as he's now so aware he's not advancing at the same rate as his peers

Anyone know about uc? I reported the fact we are now getting dla and requested it be backdated and the messaged saying about verifying children with specialist team? I've been on uc a while. Thank you xxx

15th week today, 😎 still have not called. them, as am reading post here, wich help alot and avoid me from calling as pointless to call them, good luck to u all, i will wait at least until 18 weeks then after that i might call.

Morning 😊 Does anyone please know if I can call and go on the option change of circumstances and tell them more about my son? Seems as though since I've done the forms he has got worse during the night. Thank you in advanced ladies, also good luck to all today waiting for a decision! xx

I'm also 17 weeks today!! Xx

Got my sons back pay today xx

Morning good luck to everyone waiting hopefully some awards on here today 🍀

Oh its very quiet in here this morning! Anyone ringing today? Xx

I was just thinking the same, anyone calling ?

On hold hun xx

Good luck

I’ve called still with decision maker 🤷‍♀️

whos calling? I was gonna wait to hear from some of yous guys see if any change xxxxxx

Hi, just jumping in! Currently on hold now, think our supposed 15weeks is sometime this week, scan date 28/7. I sent some extra evidence in September, so calling to check if that's been received, but also cheekily going to ask if they know when might be with a DM!
Well done to all those with recent awards, and fingers crossed for all those still waiting x

im on hold to sort out start date and also find out when award ends. 10 mins so far. Called bang on 9am

@Kelz23 yours still is today aswell? I think I’m going to ring again today aswell and see if it’s any further! They said I’ll hear by text but I’m getting too stressed sitting by the phone all day waiting 😫 I just wanna know so I can prepare to fight it ukno? Good luck for today 🙏🏻

I think they taking longer to answer even when you call at 9 xxxx
