DLA wait times part 21… (2023)

[Mummyrach13]

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

@SaltyPepperpot great news 🎉🎉🎉🎉

@DanniiB1983 my scan date was 15th June and mine was sorted on Monday hope this helps x

@MammyAng84 Yep, I've just had to go job centre for something related to my work and my work coach said he wished he could see the DLA application on the UC thing, it should all be linked they did ask for my NI number on the forms so they could easily link them.

It's so frustrating, and I haven't had chance to call today, I don't know whether to try again Monday afternoon after my meeting.

Mine date is 30/6. Not sure if it's worth calling.

Sorry I'm not sure how to tag names 😅

@DanniiB1983 to tag type the @ then it'll give you a list of usernames, you start typing the name and it'll let you select it

Mine is 22nd June COC hasn’t been done yet been told first week in December

Thankyou @Linacre96 I will leave it this week. Maybe call next Friday.
Please keep me updated 🙏 🙂

I’ve been on hold for nearly 2 hrs to see if Dm made decision as not receiving any txts in the whole 18 weeks wait makes me think I won’t get 1 if they make decision

@MammyAng84 I was told on Tuesday that not everyone gets a text, and I may not get one, it just depends on who the DM is

They told me I would defo get 1 but when I asked why I hadn’t received any so far & only 1 letter dated 9th august he couldn’t answer

Good luck. I hope its positive news for you especially after a 2hr wait. @MammyAng84 I have only received 1 letter. Now text.

Scan date 1.8 was on hold from 2 hours and 10 minutes should be going to dm or cm the 1st week for December and should have a descion by 19 December and has put on again for text if the waiting time don't go up. Had a nice man called John what was nice and helpful. Extra evidence received and put in my daughter claim within 3 days of sending it .

@MammyAng84 good luck

Afternoon everyone

came across these threads a few days ago and been following them since.

Judging by everyone’s scan dates we still have a long wait ahead of us (again!) 😩 scan date for us is 18/9!

Was meant to be a renewal for my daughters claim….. sent in plenty of time, but turns out they never received it, so had to redo forms and resend evidence etc again so now treated as a new claim 🤦🏼‍♀️

first time we applied few years ago it was declined but after doing MR (her asd diagnosis had come through by this time too) she was approved Mrc and lrm.

nothing has changed since, so keeping everything crossed she’s approved again…. It really does make a difference to our children when they get what they need/deserve!

keeping fingers crossed for everyone else too xx

Our scan date is 21/07 and 23/07 for my two children, I called today to put some additional info on the form and the lady was lovely. She told me both are flagged to be looked at over the weekend so should hopefully hear next week, she said a text can’t be promised because they’re getting staff in from other offices to help with new claims.

Cut me off at 2hrs 30 mins hold 🤬😭🤬😭

@MammyAng84 omg😡

I’m so annoyed & upset 😭

Long time lurker here!
scan date 07/08
last text 07/11
phoned today to ask for an update after a few attempts I finally got through and waited 2 hours and 39 minutes for the bloke to tell me the line was bad and he hung up. Honestly want to cry! Why couldn’t he give me a minute to move for better signal after being on hold that long 😢

@Puglover3 That is shocking definitely complain

I’ve been on hold for another hour & expecting to get cut off soon as they shut at 5

Finally got through my boy was awarded hrc yesterday 😭 burst into tears on the phone as I was really expecting a decline xx

@MammyAng84 congratulations 🎊 👏

@MammyAng84 what was your scan date please

@MammyAng84 congratulations!!!!🎉🎉
