DLA Wait times part 24

[Ash135]

Continuing on from part 23 as it was getting full

@Looloo12332 my second text was 5 weeks and 3 days ago, do people still have that hole theory of it’s 5 weeks after? I’m baffled with this

@cocoapple I'm so sorry you was awarded before me so should have gone in by now.It should deffo be in tomorrow this is ridiculous you've waited lone enough x

@Looloo12332 im on hold to them now x

5 weeks amd 2 days after second text for me i would call them x

@cocoapple let me know when I called Monday they told me it will be in today and it was I hope yours is tomorrow x

On hold now. I think it's because I keep sending evidence through.

@Shauna12 your not alone I'm the same date heard nothing

@Shauna12 I feel like mine is going to be 5 weeks because of the Christmas break

@Lauren2121 Hi hun it don't matter now as got the message how much universal credit owes me and it should be in mine account today.

This is confusing me now haha. Hopefully I hear something soon then 🙏🏼

Hate being on hold to these this music is driving me mad, didn’t think I’d have to do this again🤣

Thank you everyone for getting back it’s nice to know you’re not alone during this time…

@cocoapple I hate being on hold on phones because I always seem to really need a wee 🤣 then worries they'll answer the phone whilst I'm mid pee 🫣

Random observation... do they scan on weekends ? I've noticed 18/8 and then 21/08. So Friday and Monday.. do they not do weekends 🤔

@2010crazyboymum 🤣🤣🤣 that happened once so I turned the taps on so hopefully they thought I was washing up or something🤣

@2010crazyboymum i’m sure someone said they don’t scan on weekends so quite possibly

Does anyone know how UC payments work with getting the backdated carers element and disability element. I updated it all and had a message put on my journal that it had been verified and sent to a DM about awarding backpay. Will this be added to my usual payment date which is the 14th of the month or do they give backpay on a different date? Thanks

Just rang, went to a decision maker yesterday, scan date 17/08 I’m so nervous!!

90 mins later, got through to a lovey bloke who told me to "keep patient" and I won't hear anything until new year. They close tomorrow!

Let's keep calm and carry on everyone!

@Looloo12332 absolutely fuming some idiot didn’t issue the payment so now I’ve got to wait until the 28th🙃 great when you need to get Christmas presents x

@cocoapple that's horrible! Right on Christmas aswell.

@2010crazyboymum so stressed right now😫 1 step forward 2 back

I think your scan date is the same as mine (you said 27/09 earlier - unless it was a typo?) I've worked out we are only at 11 weeks so will likely hear about mid February, which would be 18/19 weeks.

Yes I'm 27/9 but I haven't got the second text! I've got a letter, and a text!

Still waiting to hear of uc about backpay i reported the change on the 11th and not replying to my notes so going into the jobcentre today and moaning and see if that prompts them to get it sorted as i hear of peoples getting dealt with within a couple of days and backpayments paid or due to be paid its rediculous (mine was a change from middle rate to high rate)
