DLA Wait times part 20… (2023)

[Mummyrach13]

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

Does anyone know how long roughly it takes for a decision when ith a DM, mine went to a DM yesterday so I'm panicking now that it's a decline

Mine was with a DM for 5 days before awarded, all depends how far down the pile you are. X

Yes defo! So even though you don’t get any payment towards her in regards to the child element, you can still receive the disabled child element and/or carer element as technically your daughter is still on your claim

Oops sorry I just saw the question had been answered. I really should scroll down before responding to someone😆

Can anyone please help me work out a DLA award. I rang DLA today who said my son got awarded yesterday. They said he has been awarded High rate care and Low rate mobility. She said back pay will be in bank soon which is £2,045. I rang for the forms 27th June. My son is only 4, will be 5 in February. So I’m assuming the £2,045 won’t include the low rate mobility with 4 year olds not being eligible but the £2,045 doesn’t make sense with the number of weeks from 27th June until now

@Keddie ylu never know the later it was getting I was defo thinking a decline I really was but I was so surprised when I had my message remember I had message at 8am so they are making decisions that early…don’t ever feel wrong for ringing keep on the backs and keep calling in the end I was calling twice a day…your entitled to hun…please keep me updated ❤️🩷 xxxxxx

also sounds as though yous guys ain’t had the best of helpful people on the phones today but remember if it’s over the 15 weeks hous are entitled to call up don’t ever feel like yous cant keep onto them and I’m sending every one of yous the best of luck 🤞 ❤️ I’ll still be on the thread rooting for yous guys! Fight for what your little ones deserve xxxxx

@Tmxx ohh fab! I was thinking there had me thinking! You have been bloody amazing with me through this..Thankyou so much! ❤️ xxxxxxxx

Yep, yep, yep:) just like the poster above

Are you sure it was 2045? As high rate care backdated for 20 weeks is 2035 xxx

@Mmeades its 20 weeks at 101 I calculated to 2020.00 am not sure how they do it that other 25 might ba a day. Do you think it should of been more or less xx am new so am possibly wrong x

Oh fgs I’ve done it again, just seen Tmxx already answered, soz!

Ah maybe I misheard her! Thank you so much

@Mmeades @Tmxx it could be 10 pound Xmas bonus ?

@Mmeades @Tmxx 101.75 x 20 = 2035 plus Xmas bonus 10 pounds?
