DLA wait times part 21… (2023)

[Mummyrach13]

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

@Tammie23 @Jaffacakesrlife I'm going to call shortly, hopefully they will answer before I need to go shopping. I'm currently on hold to the speech therapist so will call as soon as I've done that and let you both know! ☺️ xx

@Kelseeyx your a star I got a rude women last week fingers crossed you get some one who's polite xx

Do they call off mobiles ?

I ended up ringing in, at 9 on the dot wait was 35 mins.

Was awarded on Friday HRC and LRM for 3.5 years! I’m over the moon and so relieved for my boy it will make such a difference to his quality of life.

Wishing the best of luck to you all waiting on awards and MR’s.

Glad to hear some of you are getting awards even if the wait is ages.

If you have a younger child with limited mobility due to behaviour, I just wanted to share that when we first applied DS was 5 I think, and we didn't get mobility then or at the next renewal when he was 7 but we got it when he was 9 even though his supervision needs when out and about had decreased, I think the point was they didn't decrease as much as TD children of the same age. It seems odd to get LRM when he now is more independent than when we didn't get it, but he has a bigger gap to expected supervision I think.

What was your scan date please

Amazing news. Congrats!!! What is your scan date?

@Ol

@Ollysmomma Congrats!!

@Ollysmomma congratulation on your award, so glad for you 🤞 I hear something too im the day after you and currently on hold

Congratulations same scan date as me x

Yay someone else from 18/7. Maybe there is hope!

I really want to know but I can’t bring myself to ring incase it’s a decline 🫣

46 minutes on hold so far. Fully expecting another hour

@Tammie23 called a few times, keep getting busy tone or getting cut off before the options are even said 🤦🏼‍♀️ xx

I gave in & rang, got cut off straight after options were chosen

I’m 58 mins on hold, scan date 19/7

Same date as me! I got cut off twice give up for today 😂

I've tred 6 times today with WiFi off and on a withheld number and still keep getting cut off 🙈 I've not even got to the annoying hold music yet

@MammyAng84 I'm the same 😭 dreading they are going to say his been declined.

I can’t cope with the not knowing, I’ve never felt like anxiety like this since the child I’m claiming for was in nicu 😭

Silent watcher but thought I’d post…
Early July scan date, called last Tuesday and told it went to the DM on the Friday but no decision yet…waited all week for a text but nothing! Currently on hold but assuming now it will be a decline as I haven’t heard anything…good luck to everyone waiting! I had to call on no caller ID after 6 attempts being cut off…

I'm now on call number 12! 🤦🏼‍♀️
