DLA Wait times part 24

[Ash135]

Continuing on from part 23 as it was getting full

Oh no you're joking!! When did they tell you this? That's ridiculous! X

Here's hoping hun! X

Just been awarded today! Our claim date was 23rd August and I had a text on 10th October and 11th November :-D

I have the same dates as you and been told the middle of January.

15/8 been told another 3 weeks told her other people getting there’s sorted with a date after mine she stated it depends what part of the country they in xx

@doingmybest23 I've heard this, different parts of the country apparently get decisions faster, however true it is I don't know but I'm really sick of waiting now. I'm 14/8 and still not heard a thing 😩

I did the chance of caring for someone and my little ones disability element part, and messaged on my journal about his dla award. That was last Wednesday, I've not heard nothing about a decision or if its gone to DM yet.

They told me mine be in tomorrow xx

@doingmybest23 I'm 25/08 but told January. I've not heard this before, I'm Greater Manchester

Hi been following (a while lol, first comment) I’m also waiting. Scan date 23/8 last text 1/11 I haven’t called I just can’t. It’s such a long process isn’t it. My daughter is epileptic, her medication has gone up since sent claim (due to more seizures) also put her on vit D long term too. I haven't mentioned this to them as I feel it will prolong it further I’d rather wait, I sent a lot of evidence. She was on dla when she was a baby and it only took a few weeks then. (Her seizures stopped for few years so I didn’t carry the claim on, but seizures have returned) my other younger daughter is ASD (just started school) I haven’t put a claim in yet as waiting for this one is stressful enough. x good luck everyone. x

I'm the 18/8 and been told mid January too. Seems a bit odd

@cocoapple they told me on the phone the payments are going in Friday 22nd .. .if that helps you was a day earlier then me so your will prob be tomorrow

@logangracie93 im northeast xx

@Ash135 im northeast

I'm 21/08. Least we know we're in the current bubble of dates

@doingmybest23 I'm sheffield so is that classed as northeast too? maybe its done off the distance from their offices? I was told to expect a decision between Christmas and New Year 🤯 but there's so many people getting decisions with dates same or after it's driving me mad now

You'd think they'd just go in a pile as they receive them and they work from the top down the stack. It sounds like they get a pile each, maybe that explains why different dates are being done and it depends how fast that DM works through their pile

@Ash135 yes but some need extra evidence/phone calls made etc. Some, the form alone Is enough. So even if done In order they'll be some scrambled dates.
I'm 17w3d. (Sounds like pregnancy 🤣) and yes the wait Is driving Me crazy.. I want to know if I can afford private physio for My son.

I'm 21/08 northwest and I was told February 🤦

Hi,

im new here but have been looking for a while. I have put a claim in for my son scan date 18/08
first text 23/10
second text 13/11

I rang up last week to add some new info as my son has been referred following his eye test and also to rapid access for his stools and milk allergy.
the lady I spoke to said she was going to send a message to my claim, but wasn’t being looked at yet.
haven’t heard anything this week, may ring Friday but guess the lines will be busy that day.
just worried it is going to be a decline as he is 2 years, but has motor delay at 12 months. And has physio, not yet walking. And a standing frame.

@RaychieBee February! They really are trying to stop people chasing up their claims aren't they!

My forms were received 29/8… not phoned and had the 3 texts, I was hopping to receive an update before Christmas but not looking likely, I’m in East Yorkshire

@Kiddiewinks5 I’m in a similar situation as you. My daughter is epileptic and they’ve put her on a new medication totalling 3 and upped another she’s on to try and manage the seizures. I just can’t face risking delaying the application further by sending more evidence. On the other hand I don’t want it to affect her application being approved. Do you mind me asking what evidence you sent? I sent consultation notes from her consultant, neurologist and epilepsy nurse, a letter from school SENCO and a prescription slip.

It’s just so awful watching your child go through this and being totally helpless. I hope you hear soon. My scan date is 30/08 so still a while to go x

14/08 and received a text saying I've been awarded today. Not sure which rates etc. do I need to wait for the letter before I update universal credit ?

Newbie here been following for a while got a text today saying my daughter was awarded no idea of rates scan date 18th August 1st text 23.10, 2nd text 13.11. Following support anyone else still waiting good luck.
