DLA Wait times part 24

[Ash135]

Continuing on from part 23 as it was getting full

@Dolliesmama it was Dla for children:advice and support.

She wrote: rang at 9am and it wasn't even with a DM yet it was still in a holding queue but just received a text saying my daughter was awarded.

She posted about 3hours after 9am😂

Good luck to everyone today xx

Just been told that my daughters nursery have informed them that she doesn't need supervision in school and that she's developing like any other normal child which is not the case. She is in reception now but I applied while she was still in nursery and she needs constant care at school we've just had a sen review on Friday and they informed me that they are working on her being able to sit still for 5 mins by the end of Easter 5 mins! I'm so heartbroken for her. Sorry for babbling on just so disappointed

Hey all, I have got through to a lovely lady called Caroline (on hold for 26 mins) I sent in further evidence and ws signed for on the 14/11. She basically confirmed its lost but is contacting the postal team and will call me back. She advised they are scanning from early December dates. So..... if like me any of you sent evidence prior to December and have not heard get on the phone asap ! she advised I may not be contacted before Xmas now x

Over an hour and still waiting

I’ve just missed a call from DWP (I was driving and my phone wasn’t connected to my car) anyone else had calls today or know why they would be calling?

Another 2 weeks xx

Hiya
Ive just sent some forms back and wondered how long people have been waiting for so far?

I'm 14/08 and was awarded today I think you will be very soon

@Lodol it's around the 18_19 week mark for a decision

It's normally to ask you a few extra bits but I havnt heard of anyone getting a decline after a call so fingers crossed

Thanks hopefully mine will be in tomorrow aswell

@Lauren2121 hopefully tomorrow

Hi does anyone no how long it takes for them to look at a mandatory reconsideration ?

Just got a 3rd txt!
scan date 08/09

@Kaymumof4 i believe I’ve seen people say it’s 2-3 weeks

quick question- do DMs always call before making a decision or must I specifically request that they call?

Hi I've just received 3rd text sent form
31/08/23
Scan date 11/09/23
Does the third txt mean I should have decision soon. Thanks

@Kaymumof4 mine has been 3 and a half weeks now I called this morning and they are now saying 4/5 weeks. Has anybody has a decision about a MR lately?

@Tammy198311 my scan date 1/9 I got third text 11/12
looking at January for a decision

That's what they have said to me I'm looking at end of Jan but been seeing people said they have received so many txt then got awarded. Maybe I've gotten confuses lol

Congrats on the award when did u apply. Thanks

Currently on week 4 for MR am calling today to see if they received my extra evidence. Which was signed for on the 27th of November, they still hadn't received it last week! Xox

Hi is that after 3rd txt

@Rellz no, they only call if they have a question(s). Some DM’s text to say you’ve qualified but some don’t, you can call and ask to be texted with a decision but again even after requesting, some people have and some haven’t received one
