DLA wait times part 25

[mumoftwoxxx]

Continuing on from part 24...😊

@Willowblake 01/08? Wow that's a long time!
Can't believe that they're doing some September dates and your still at the beginning of August! 😓😓😓

@RaychieBee yeah 22 weeks now....wasn't gonna call again cos it drains me everytime they say its still with a DM.....been with one for a month now....but this is why I like this group, its not so lonely knowing there loads of other parents that understand this struggle x

That wouldn't work, when they opened up claims again they would get 2 months of applications sent in a week and would be back to square one really quickly.

More decision makers are needed.

@Willowblake i don't understand why it would take a month to come to a decision! Are you planning on phoning tomorrow?

Thank you for replying to me.
That's what I'm hoping for, I would completley understand them not backdating the mobility side and would be happy if they start his mobility claim from April. I just don't want to have to fill in all the forms etc again so soon, but if that's what we have to do then we will do that.

@RaychieBee madness ain't it! I'm on hold right now 1hr 10 mins in so will update ya with what nonsense they tell me ha

@Willowblake i look forward to it 👀😂 I hope you've got a decision 🤞🤞🤞🤞

ive just phoned up the new claims number and asked how long are new claims taking and he told me upto 18 weeks to process so ive been told 15 weeks, 17 weeks, 18 weeks, 19 weeks and 20 weeks now!! im just going to wait it out from here.

Hi,

we finally had my sons claim approved over Christmas and but they’ve only backdated to the scan date. Has anyone had any luck challenging this? Or know the process?

This groups been a god send the last few weeks of waiting and I don’t know if it’s worth the hassle if they’ll just ignore me

Do you still receive the awarded DLA benefit if you ask for a MR or would you not get any money until a decision is made on the MR?

Anyone rewarded today?
If so what's dates please x

There have been a few people awarded today. Last couple of pages will show details.

@RaychieBee just got off the phone now, still with a decision maker but she's gonna send an email to them....I give up at this point 🤣

hello, when i did my sons claim as far as i was aware as long as the form was sent back intime then it was to the day it was requested which is stamped on the form its usually only the scan date if the form was late, hope this helps. i would give them a call and make sure the scan date isnt later than the time limit stated on the front of the form x

@Willowblake how long did it take you to get through currently on 1hr 30mins x

@Keddie did you get through today? X

@Liddyj i am currently 1hr 40 x

@Ilovemychildren123 still holding xx

@Willowblake oh ffs 😂😂😂😂 surely they can make a decision within 4 weeks 😂

@Keddie i hope you get through x

@Keddie I’m 1hr 40 now it’s ridiculous should not take this long to get through it’s a joke x

@Ilovemychildren123 staying put unless i get cut off lol x

After 1hr and 30, scanned 23/08 and awarded yesterday high rate and low mobility 🙌🏻

@Keddie I don’t blame you. What’s your MR date? X

@Ilovemychildren123 4th of December but they recd new evidence on the 14th of November made a decision without this and now its lost ! Hoping they will have found it xx
