DLA Wait times part 24

[Ash135]

Continuing on from part 23 as it was getting full

@MangoPepsiLover i had been looking to see where you had got to with your UC etc. Mine hasn’t even been dealt with yet they still have it with a DM. It’s really rubbish they declined you. How can they decline special circumstances? I would be putting an appeal in for that x

Just received 3rd text. Only got the second on the 5th. Scan date 7/9.

@MangoPepsiLover They didn't give a reason just said they didn't accept the reason for it.

Got my daughter's letter today!! Scan date 10/8

She's given higher rate, but lower rate mobility so I'm going to send a form to ask them to reconsider. I can hardly leave the house with her unless we're in the car, safe space for her due to sensory overload, she faints and switches off when she gets overloaded so need safe space if out and about - it's a bloody nightmare especially when she just faints 🥺

@MangoPepsiLover ive seen it happen a lot to people on facebook. Tell them you want them to look at it again and reiterate you could t report the change of circumstances within the ap due to being awarded at a later date but the award dates back to June. They seem to do it a lot but on asking them to look again they often award!
I’m sick of waiting for them to even just consider mine. Nightmares they are.

@MangoPepsiLover i would appeal the decision or get intouch with welfare rights ..
Did you inform them Within a month of being notified yourself?

@Mummyto2beautifulangeltwins Yeah I told them as soon as I got the letter which about 4 days after I'd called DLA to be told the award and only a day or so after the backpay

@MangoPepsiLover thats absolutely disgusting! Surely they can’t do that! Why is everything such a constant battle! Xx

@MangoPepsiLover

Tbh I've had a right mess on with uc ,Agent said I hadn't informed them of the change ,which I had on the 21st of November even received a payment for the dc element.
I'd had enough and went in to my local jobcentre.
All sorted within a hour now with a dm who has to response by the end of the Week as the evidence was already there on my journal from November the agent didn't look properly.

How can they decline it ,its under special circumstances you where awaiting the decision from dla .
Honestly I really wouldn't leave it ,Contact your local mp .

For anyone who’s informed uc, how long did it take for them to get in touch? I updated them via my journal Friday morning but not heard anything from them yet

@Momof2soonmomto3 What number did you call for a update for your universal credit, I had a message today this morning with letter to say special circumstances and with receive backpay and just had the same message again . So what next after u get the letter to say they agreed to backpay .

@Tammy198311 your dates are the same as mine and I had my 3rd text today! Hopefully a decision in Jan

@Lisarmummy i’m the same dates as well!

@cocoapple hiya I’ve updated uc Friday morning aswell and still not heard anything please let me know if you hear back x

Finally got the text today ... little boy is getting dla .. unsure on rates yet will have to ring in the morning .. 18 weeks 1 day ... scan date 14/8

Mum2onebeautifulgirl (for some reason wouldnt let me tag you) i rang this number lovely, 08003285644 from my personal exprience first time round i had to ring and request backpay to be paid as i hadnt had anything for a week and half after the dm granted it and was paid 2 days later so i would ring them and ask because i will be as they aint very fast unless your pushy with them x

@Lauren2121 Will do x

@Casslou22 wooo finally😁x

Hey a scan buddy, the wait seems to go on and on forever

@Lauren2121 i had my letter today and it said the money will be paid by 19/12

Called at 3:30 today and got through at 5pm 🙈

My daughter was awarded MRC on Wednesday. A little disappointed as was hoping for HRC due to sleep issues. Not sure whether to do MR or leave it.

Wondering if I should send in a letter that the health visitor has wrote to the hospital to support the GP referral for sleep issues to evidence that it's a big issue.

Scan date 08/08

Does feel like forever

@Lauren2121 @cocoapple i updated UC on 29th November and I haven’t had anything yet. It didn’t go to a decision maker until the 6th and it’s still with them. Some people are dealt with in a week some like me are waiting weeks with no response. I’ve called them twice too but they are just not interested.

@Poll85 okay great Thankyou for letting me know x
