DLA wait times part 25

[mumoftwoxxx]

Continuing on from part 24...😊

@Jneill2021 have you heard anything yet x

@Mountainviewse a form returned after the date given will still be accepted. However, if awarded, unless there is a legitimate reason it may only be backdated to the date they received the form rather than the date you called.

Thanks. Is it discretionary then?

@Luevzamum not yet the man I spoke to said ring 1st week of Jan crossing my fingers they change there mind, so happy for your little one I'm really glad they changed there mind xx

@Mountainviewse it is discretionary in the sense if the form is late without legitimate reason it doesn’t have to be backdated to the date you called only from the date it was received. But accepting the form at all isn’t discretionary.

@PurplePuxie I’m still waiting, scan date 11/08, that’s 20 weeks today, I have found out my sons claim is clerical though, which I’m told is 21 weeks, such a stressful wait! I don’t think I’ve spelt properly in weeks

When do they re open after new year? 2nd or 3rd?

Thankyou

I've just got a txt to say decision has been made but I've no idea if it's granted or declined. Anyone had similar txt and it's been positive outcome

@funinthesun19 when I was on the phone last Friday a man said he’ll ring or text me on the 2nd (doubtful lol) so I assume that’s when they re-open

Hi everyone my daughter was awarded on 5th dec back pay 7th dec.

then today a payment of 600 went in to my acc. Is this a early payment because it’s Xmas ? Thank u xx

My son is 2 he’s non verbal, falls over a lot, still have to feed him as unable to feed himself sometimes, he’s been referred to speech therapist, physiotherapist and community paediatrician.. nursery sent in a letter basically saying his development is for a 1 year old they have to give him more help above universal level not sure what that means and my health visitor sent a letter aswell saying what she’s referring him for I dress him, bath him, he sleeps in a cot, he falls over a lot, I feed him I’m waiting on a decision but just thinking do you think I would get declined?

what was your scan date?

@Liddyj if ur asking me 21st July x

@Kezzia87 what is clerical please??

Unfortunately it seems as though everyone on these threads who have received that wording have been declined.

@2010crazyboymum from what I’ve been reading it means it’s all done by hand instead of computer because I don’t claim child benefit for him it’s not as straight forward to get his NI number so his reference number is a clerical one instead

Does anyone know with UC, when would I receive backpay for child disability element? I received a letter on my journal a few days after I informed them about my little ones award with dla, stating decision maker had reviewed and my uc will be adjusted from the date of change. I received the letter on my journal last week on the 22nd December.

@Jneill2021 thanks hun I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you let me know xxx

Scan date 18/8 still not hear anything will be ringing back up on Wednesday

Hi, I’m in a similar position. My nine year old only does three hours per day atm. Can you tell me how you accessed home tutoring?

Yes, it's likely to be your next monthly payment, early. (Lile I got my tax credits payment yesterday instead of Monday as Monday is a Bank Holiday)

Anyone from 25/08 or around then heard anything?

I’m same date as you, rang yesterday still not with a cm, I have just seen someone awarded from September 13th on Facebook though and seen a few others after our date

@Ash894 I'm 21/08 as is a few others still waiting. But they've done some past this date also , not loads though.
