DLA Wait times part 20… (2023)

[Mummyrach13]

Following on from part 19 as it’s about to become full.

Good luck everyone for today xxx
also @Loui5 keep watch out for your phone could get text any min cos if she rang she’s clearly doing your forms now so I’d say give a call this afternoon good luck ❤️ xxxx

@Loui5 more informations a gd thing meaning they should be making a decision any time in the next few hours from what I've seem wuty other people on this thread its usually been a positive outcome so fingers crossed.

@Rebeccanew I am over 18 weeks so really should be getting a reply this week I hope. I'm nervous for a decline as forms were soo long to fill. However I do have some extra evidence coming through next week so if need be for a MR I'm prepared

@Amy92x @Tmxx no problem! It can all get very confusing when you try to research online so it’s always helpful speaking to a real person who can explain things in simple terms:)

@Tmxx hiya I’ve been trying to find you to see how you got on as I said I would , hun hope all is well!

Sskanf i hope so hun. My anxiety has gone through the roof x

Finally on hold after being cut off with the busy tone 4 times. Scan date 13/07. Congrats on new awards. Hoping to have some answers today, if I have to listen to these holding tunes much more I'm going to crack xox

@Loui5 them calling is usually a good thing, rather than a straight decline. I would call later today if you don’t receive a text! 🤞 x

Update I've been awarded yesterday!!! Soo happy my waits over beeb awarded middle rate care no mobility as he's only 4, he's in a buggy due to no sense of danger. However I'm so pleased!
@Clairexdx @Keddie @Rebeccanew @Loui5

@Muva25 aww thanks you hun!! I was awarded last Friday mrc until 2030 🥳😁 xxx

@Lollypops88 and @Mummyrach13 I've just rang uc.

She said it's due to be verified tomorrow and that she can see I'm a full time carer so my appointment should be cancelled tomorrow. Said back pay can take a couple of weeks tho. Xx

@CassD34 @ASDParents congratulations on your awards! 😃
@crazytimes20 I am 27/07 and in Newcastle. Someone with my exact date and area was awarded yesterday and I’ve seen quite a few now with dates similar to both of ours. I’ve also sadly seen lots of dates from the week before us that are still yet to be awarded so I really think it must depend on a few different things. The waiting is so awful though

@Sskanf omg! Over the moon for you I really am!!! I told you so to ring hun ❤️ awww wel deserved xxxxxx

@Tmxx did you notify uc straight away xxxxx

any help how to notify uc? Xxxxx

also anyone know how long roughly backpay takes?

@Sskanf congratulations!! x

I’m exactly a week before u & same area :) was told wasn’t even with a dm so waiting patiently for closer dates to b awarded before I ring again xx

Congratulations @Sskanf I dont know if i should call or not?? to scared of the outcome x

Anyone know how to notify UC. I'm currently on UC already and from what I've read it's not worth claiming carers allowance as they deduct money.
Do I need to just claim child element not sure. If anyone care share some light pls x

@Rebeccanew thank you so much. I'm so relieved no more worrying I can get my som the support he needs x

28/7

Not with a dm yet but should be with one end of next week.

@Keddie you should call! 100% I was also quite nervous but seen a few people getting awarded so I caved in.
When the woman said a decision bad been made she did a long pause so I thought its a decline initially, so glad I called now

@Sskanf absolutely thrilled I am! You can now relax hun xxxxxxx

@StrawberryPeas1 hi, is your form a coc? I’m 19/7 and was told I would hear something the week of 20/11 which would make it right for 17.5-18.5 weeks

Whats the weeks everyone's been awarded. I'm 17 weeks 2 days my nerves are gone! Wasn't with a dm as of yesterday morning xx

It’s looking like up to 14/7 are being award so if they don’t scan on the weekends that means 17-21 July will be next 🙌

@Mummyof5kiddos No it's a new claim x

@Jude82 thank you xxx
What's your scan date, I really hope you hear soon once with a DM its pretty much within a few days I feel
