DLA Wait times part 24

[Ash135]

Continuing on from part 23 as it was getting full

31/08 here x

18.5 weeks since scan date for me! Is that good or bad sign 🫣

in hoping we do it’s been a long wait

yes fingers crossed we do. when do they close does anyone know ?

My date is the 27/9 I only received one text

I think the 2nd text comes at around the 14 week mark (so should probably receive one in about 3 weeks time)

Hi all, just wondering, because they are working weekends has anyone had an award text over the weekend?

i just realised I will be expecting to get over £6,000 backdated from dla and the disabled child element combined. Does anyone know if this affects claiming universal credit if they will deduct money due to this? Or do they exclude the backdate from assets for a certain amount of time?

@Nadcat no it wint effect it as its backpack they will only count it if you have that amount in 12 months so iv been told

@FloofCloud I'm 18 weeks tomorrow 14/08 amd only went to cm on Thursday.Have u called?

@Ash894 yes some people on here git texts the weekends

@zoedavis123 I'm assuming they close on Friday or Saturday and open after boxing day

yeah i thought they may do too .

God just realised how close to Xmas we are. Hoping to hear this side but in doubt it. Scan date 18/8, ringing Tomo x

Mines the 18th also it wasn't with a dm Friday morning then a line manager called me who told me she was putting it through as urgent . Friday evening it was with a dm but no decision yet x

Could someone remind me the expected time between text no.1 and text no.2?

Also I sent off more evidence yesterday. Forth time I've done it!

Hi has anyone received there payment that was awarded Wednesday 13th I know it can take 3-5 days and suppose depends on bank aswell ,

@Poll85 i was awarded Wednesday and i can see the back pay pending for tomorrow.

@AndrewGarfieldsLaptop Hi my scan date is 25th August, first text was 31st August, second text was 21st November. So 3 weeks for me. I'm not sure if it's the same for everyone though

@Poll85 I just came on here to ask the same thing lol awarded Wednesday 13th and still no payment hopefully it will go in tomorrow x

@AndrewGarfieldsLaptop Mt both texts was 3 weeks between each other

@AndrewGarfieldsLaptop mine too

Hi
Been reading for a long time, my scan date is 15/08.
Anyone with a date around this still not heard? Too worried to call after reading about rude call handlers

I got a text on 28/11. Hopefully hear something soon.

@Laylasmummy25 i’m the same date, I phoned on Friday and it still wasn’t with a DM
