DLA Wait times part 20… (2023)

[Mummyrach13]

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

@Clairexdx i will be calling today to.see if mines with a DM atleast, i seen a few awards om here made around 17+3 and at 5 weeks after the txt so you never know today may be your day

I’m seeing more and more to suggest it’s different in different areas which obviously it shouldn’t be but it looks that way - some people 15 week some 18 weeks some 5 weeks after last text- it’s definitely not the same for everyone

@Sskanf good luck il check to see how it goes :) x

Hi been watching this thread for a while now.

Scan date 18/7
First text 25/9
Second text 16/10

17 weeks today, rang last week was told 17.5 weeks and I should know by the third week of November. Sooo tempted to ring back but think I'll wait til Friday. Also asked them to send me a text but as I've read not everyone sends texts so guess it's just a waiting game.

Fingers crossed everyone gets the answers they are hoping for 🤞🏼

Good luck @Rebeccanew @Billie1993 @Sskanf on hopefully being awarded today! We was all a day apart and really following eachother so I'm rooting for you! Who's ringing xxx

Also good luck to anyone phoning today I hope its quick and hope lots of decisions have been made xxx

@Geegee1506 my scan date is 18/7 to!
Praying we have a decision soon 🙏

I'm gonna leave it till Friday I think xx

@Hardingcl hopefully🙏🏼 and yes me too xxx

@Tmxx aww Thankyou …you know me I’ll be on that phone on the dot lol! If Decline am so ready for a mr! As I now have even more evidence but I did sent a lot in also! xxxxxxxxx

good luck @Sskanf @Billie1993 hopefully awards today xxxxxxx

Hiya everyone, I’ll be ringing today but I’ve got an appointment this morning so can’t ring until lunchtime unfortunately. Really hoping today is the day for us 🤞🏻 Good luck!!! I’m feeling so nervous. Really feel like i’m going to be declined x

Hopefully we won't have to wait much longer.I had a parents evening yesterday they told me my dd is really struggling and not coping at all in mainstream 😢 I feel awful sending her daily knowing she don't understand any of the work its hard on us all if she was under 5 I would keep her home.Im going to ask for reduced hours at school now

Week 16, 3 weeks from last txt. Scan date 27/07, txts 02/10 and 23/10. Newcastle.
Not ringing today but just updating with my info as I’ve eventually seen an award for my date and also some with my date that are now with DM or CM.
The claim was so long ago I’m entering the dreaded did I add enough info, what did I even say in the form stage…. 😞 I don’t remember. I do know I provided SEN school plans, Ed Psych reports, CAHMS letter and Private Autism diagnosis report. Feeling nervous now and just hoping I’ve explained enough 🙏🏻

@Cheesywiggles let me know if you get a text or phone call pr anything today! woshing you the best of luck!!!

@Tmxx thank you x
On hold now, I have an updated SALT report coming through in a few days want to ask if it's worth sending in also although I'm 17 weeks 6 days today!

Rang as the clock turned 9 got through options then cut me off on hold now after ringing back hope I'm not waiting too long as got work at 10.

Didn’t manage to get on at 9 now I have the busy tone 😂 i suppose longer I wait more I’ll have a answer better way to look at it rather than I’ll be on for ages hahahaa xxxx
