DLA Wait times PART 23…. (2023)

[Mummyrach13]

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

Hi mates sorry to gate crash but I'm waiting for my PIP review result and going bonkers but I think it's good news, just waiting for a letter.

One tip I have is if you get a text saying something like 'your review is complete, we'll send you a letter, we won't tell you over the phone' - if it's anything like PIP then if you phone the advice line, before you speak to a human, a robot voice asks security questions and then tells you what your next payment is. The computer is updated before you get the letter.

So this robot voice gives you what your next payment will be, and from this and the day it was completed, you can work out what rates you've been awarded.

So sorry for all the declines we always have to fight and its not fair xx

@Mummyvic123 thankyou I’m really hoping I hear in the next few days, I called last Friday and they said another 3-5 weeks but I think there just saying that so people don’t call back for a while, it’ll be 18 weeks tomorrow so keeping fingers crossed I hear this week x

Don't know whether to call or not today, scan date 3/8 been with a cm since Thursday 😬 not feeling hopeful at all.

I’m getting worried now, backpayment sent Wednesday, still not arrived

@Kelseeyx I’m going to call today. I’ll let you know what they say

@Maxine92 are you still calling today?

@Velaris92 yes I'm going to ring at 9 are you ringing?

@Maxine92 Yeah I’m going to. I was going to wait till Thursday but the wait is killing me. No doubt I’ll get the “wait till 20 weeks” lecture but oh well

Hi I will also be ringing as my sons claim has been with a dm now since last Monday scan date 2/8

@Velaris92 when I rang up last week I said that I didn’t know how many weeks it had been so I didn’t get a lecture😂

@Tiredmum90 we have the same scan date, fingers crossed for you

Thank you so much @Velaris92

And to you too 🤞🏻 this has been the worst bit

Fingers crossed it’s our turn today guys!

@Kelseeyx any news over the weekend hun? xx

I'm 10/8 so hoping I hear something by the end of the week! Good luck to all you still waiting!

@Kelseeyx any updates? Xxx

Just got the best text ever! My son has been awarded!! 😭

@Kelseeyx omg congratulations lovely we did it didn't we eh your wait is finally over thank god I'm so happy for you xxx

Ahhh amazing! Congratulations.

@Kelseeyx yes! thats amazing. xx

Hi all
scan date 9/8
2nd text 7/11

originally requested forms on 20/6- they didn’t get sent out (but I have the phone records to prove it) then called 4 weeks later (I foolishly allowed plenty of time for Royal Mail strikes for the first lot to arrive)

my girl has a complex heart condition and is fed via ngt…
has anyone near my scan date heard anything? is it worth me calling as the automated voice says not to call until after 20weeks.

@Kelseeyx congrats lovely!

@Tammie23 can't believe it! Definitely thought it was going to be declined. Thank you so much ♥️ it's finally over! @Jaffacakesrlife thank you lovely, over the moon!! Now calling for rates xx

Still no news 😢. Scan date 21/07!!!
Presumably the DM has closed the case but has not documented their decision!!! My anxiety is so high now 😫. I just want to know either way.
The kind man I spoke to is going to email the DM and ask them to look at it urgently and advised I will hopefully hear today... if the DM is actually in work today... can't take the waiting for much longer.
Please send positive vibes my way guys
