DLA wait times part 21… (2023)

[Mummyrach13]

Following on from part 19 as it will soon be full! 😊

@Anniemumof3 another 2 weeks 😩
I'm scan date 21/07

@Hardingcl I'm 18/7 still waiting

Mine is 12 never had any help he just had a first appointment at Chams there saying he now needs to be seen by the adhd team he is very impulsive behaviour he currently
expelled from school for walking in a class room telling everyone to put there hands up it’s a robbery with a plastic gun! Am mortified as a mum he also had urology problems where that’s diagnosed he has never had a dry night as accidents sometimes in day he where’s pulls which we get off the nurses and netted pants and a protective cup in the day he is very behind with his learning which is a massive worry for me working at a 7 year old I just feel like there is no help out there he has 3 different behaviour people involved but basically I could only send a letter off the behaviour women and wrote in he has been referred to clams but he got his first appointment last Monday so I don’t think he will get anything from dla hope ur little one gets the help xx

Updates UC and had a message saying I need to redeclare my children and that my daughter who's the one who has been awarded couldn't be verified? So strange! Any one else had this? All I did was update that she's in receipt of DLA now nothing else

@AgaLaura2Olivia good luck chic. I got tex this morning MRC LRM till June 2025.
Mine got passed to CM last Friday so took 3 working days. The lady on the phone this morning said they allow themselves 3-5 working days from date they receive it to complete.
Hope you hear something soon xxx

I know I was really hoping would be any day another two weeks feels like forever so much for 15 weeks then so much for 18 weeks haha xx

@Hardingcl I called yesterday with DM hopefully this week I'll get an award too. Congratulations

So when I spoke to someone on Friday they said that my date had been changed and unfortunately they couldn’t do anything about it. I spoke to them on Monday they said it was between the 20/7 and 27/7 so should find out by the 24/11
Rang yesterday, spoke to a lady and she said it’s 20/7 but hasn’t been looked at yet, and I’m waiting roughly two weeks.
Honestly I think it’s good to be persistent in phoning x

@FJVH did she say it was with DM when you called yesterday or still in a pile? I’m one day after you

I’m resisting the urge to ring as I rang yesterday & wasn’t even with a Dm yet but the longer it goes on the more I’m leaning to a decline for him

Exactly same as mine x

She said it was still in a pile, and doesn’t think it’ll be looked at until the following week

Is anyone still waiting for 20th July r just me left 😭😭

@MammyAng84 me said with case manager since yesterday but be another 10 to 14 days grrr x

Im still waiting from 19/07.

Basically what they said to me last week & yesterday, aim is 18 1/2 weeks to go to Dm which is massive difference from the 15 weeks they tell u xx

Hopefully it’s our turns next 🤞🏻

@Tammie23 fingers crossed it’s soon. I’ve been able to completely ignore the wait until now, but we hit that 15 weeks time and now I’m anxious😂

@MammyAng84 19/07 here still waiting, it was with DM when I rang yesterday. I'm not ringing again as they said it could take 14 days to be decided by DM.

I think it's a decline so I'm just leaving it.

Any idea how to get uc to reply to msgs? Thanks

Scan date is 14/08 in hold to see if I have time to send evidence off probably have plenty though
😄

Hi does anyone know exactly how long it’s roughly taking for a decision I no I’m miles away from one as I only sent the form back to them monday for my second child I already receive dla for one of my children due to breathing that was a claim made in march and got awarded in July so roughly about 16-17 weeks waiting is this roughly the same time scales 😂? Also does anyone think this sounds good from the school it’s only been done by the nursery manager not been done by SENCO although he is on SEND register at school I have sent peaditriton letters from 2 different paediatricians with both same feelings and concerns (possible ASD) along with my claim it’s for my nearly 3 year old he can’t communicate awaiting social communication pathway at age 3 for asd diagnosis and awaiting speech and language appointment as he failed for everything communication wise he is currently 32 months old working at age 1 year old so he is almost 2 years delayed in a lot of aspects doesn’t interact with anyone physically violent doesn’t like loud noises screams all the time bites hits throws objects smashes tv’s throwing things hand flaps and covers ears very sensory excetra I’m just wondering if i should also get a letter from HV to go along with all these reports as. I feel school didn’t really go into to much detail he needs constant supervision both day and night as he has no danger awareness and attacks his younger brother and older sister does not sleep at night if he does I’m lucky if it’s for an hour or 2 then he is awake for the rest of the night and day , does this seem like I would possibly get it as I’m just worried due to his age with him being 2 almost 3 , he is 3 in march so by the time it does get looked at he will probably of turned 3 and would of been excepted on social communication pathway do you think all of this is enough information as I don’t have nothing else evidence wise or would a letter from HV help as well ? Thanks In advance the stress is unreal and the wait is horrible as I already went thru this with my other little one not long ago but the extra money would help out massively as I’m currently paying for Nursey to try and better his interaction and speech and will also help out with travel and other expenses.

I’m useless at remembering peoples names but trying to keep track of people who been sat with me for weeks xx

I'm 19/07 still waiting, given to DM on Monday..

Emma sounds like the 2 letters will be enough.I only sent 1 letter off for my son 2 years saying he is waiting ASD and got awarded
