DLA Wait times PART 23…. (2023)

[Mummyrach13]

Following on from part 22 as it is about to become full! 😊

@Rebeccanew i have had my letter from UC stating how much they owe me and they are going to pay it into my bank by 12 December. Child element and carers element. Hope yours is sorted quickly xxx

I just got though they said the first week of August 1st-7th are going to to dm then it will be 7th_14th after that hope this helps xx

@Mammalee5 is this extended family who are forcing your kids to eat stuff and wear things that invoke Sensory issues? Do they look after them? As an Autistic woman who had this done to me as a child, it's extremely damaging. Is there any chance you can step away from these family members and get some support from elsewhere? It's awful for you to have to put up with this. I hope the strangers at DWP do see the difficulties. It's just one long fight and you have my sympathies. Sending hugs xx

I'm reading the thread and cheering everyone on, even though I've got a while to go myself for DDs claim (Sept scan date)

@Looloo12332 Sorry I can’t work out what you mean I’m too tired this morning🤦🏻‍♀️🤣x

Edit- I know what you mean now, thanks x

@mummyoftwo6and7 hiya, did you
manage to get through? I’m currently on hold, good luck to you x

Scan date 4/10 already feels like it's been ages it's dragging 😩 only week 9 since scan date and week 15 since I rang for the form the wait is way to long they really need to sort the system out x

@Lauren2121 yes got through and they declined me so now I have to wait for the letter to do an mr which is gutting because my little boy really does deserve it

@Purple69 I’m same scan date and text dates 😬

Good luck hun xx

Decisions made yesterday on all 3 claims.

2 x hrc /lrm -backpay in Tuesday.
1 x hrc (payment hasn't been issued yet for this one as needs checking by case manager

Scan date 03/08 but all payments from 09/08 for some reason but not arguing. We printed forms at home

My scan is 7/8 and I’ve just called and they said I’m looking at another 3/5 weeks but I’ve seen people being awarded from end of august really confused now x

@Purple69 im 16/08 but I received both my texts the same dates as you

@mummyoftwo6and7 really sorry it was a decline, deffo do an mr x

Scan date 1/8
each day I’ve phoned they’ve said with a decision maker since 30/11 but still no news.

rang at 9 this morning hoping to get straight through but accidentally pressed the wrong option 🤦🏻‍♀️ rang straight back again but now I’ve been on hold 40 mins so far 🫠

will update after for all those with similar scan date x

@Lauren2121 thankyou hun I will defo be doing one hope you get a good outcome x

Congratulations @Mammalee5 made up for you! 🎉 Now I want to call 😂

@Lauren2121 I’m 07/08 too. Can’t see it being another 3-4 weeks when people with scan dates of the 2nd and 3rd are getting decisions now.

@Lauren2121 I’m 07/08 too. Can’t see it being another 3-5 weeks when people with scan dates of the 2nd and 3rd are getting decisions now.
I think they are just saying anything they fancy at this point

10/8 here and hoping to hear soon. So worried it's a decline- just want to know now. The wait is horrendous! Congratulations to all those awarded and good luck to those still waiting. Hopefully not long for us now!

Bad news no decision yet although I did get through to the loveliest call handler who said she has sent a message to the decision maker to see when she’s looking at it and then as soon as she responds she will give me a ring back and let me know what the decision makers said.

@5anddone thats exactly what I thought, she wasn’t very happy on the phone as she said your only on week 17 but I thought well that’s still a long time to wait, I think they just say anything to be honest to stop people calling x

@RainbowZebraWarrior it was my dad, his gf and my nan. None have contact with my children anymore. I have adhd too, i will never force my children to mask. Xxx

I'm on hold scan date 2/8 with a dm now so might get an answer fingers crossed I do if its a decline I'm defo doing MR xx

Good luck @Tammie23 xx

@Kelseeyx thank you hope you hear soon too it's awful this feeling xxx
