DLA wait times part 25

[mumoftwoxxx]

Continuing on from part 24...😊

@Keddie fingers crossed for you. Our date is November 23rd and was told this morning that it is still in holding queue and will hopefully be looked at by end of the month 😩

What is the holding queue? Was told mine wasn't in one this morning x

@Ilovemychildren123 they tell everyone different things! Lets see what version i get lol xx

Scanned 23/08 and got told I was awarded yesterday 🙌🏻

@Liddyj did you get through? Took me like 1hr 40....madness

@Ilovemychildren123 2hrs 14 mins got cut off!! will be on it 1st thing tomorrow x

@Keddie its so bad I rang bang on 9am and took me half hour to get through x

Yes I only wanted to update my bank details what a nightmare said my scan dates 19th September but didn’t say anything else what’s your scan date x @Willowblake

@Liddyj ahh glad you managed to get through to them, shame they couldn't of mentioned anything to you though....my scan date is 1/8 currently at 22 weeks, still with a decision maker 😒

Hi, hoping someone in the know can help. I received the letter confirming DLA award for my daughter. she has been awarded for a period just short of 5 years, the period ends day before her 17th birthday. Wouldn’t she have to do a change to PIP before that - I.e. once she is 16?
Thanks!

@PurplePuxie from what I gathered they send u a form shortly before their 16th birthday and it will carry on until pip has made a decision x

@Willowblake oh wow! Maybe put a complaint in see if that will help it’s not fair people from September are being accepted when you’ve been waiting that long x

I've just had 2 missed calls from a decision maker as I was driving can't get back through to them. X

Congratulations!! Same scan date as me 😊 Mine is currently with a DM so hopefully will hear soon. 🤞🏻

Hiya all just wanted to let you know I got a txt today to say my daughter qualifies scan date 24/8 xx

@Willowblake thank you!! I hope you get good news ASAP😫 can't believe how long you've been waiting seriously x

I phoned yesterday. Want to phone tomorrow but I know that it will be the same answers 😂😂😂

Aww that’s brilliant @Kirsty111! I remember speaking to you a few weeks ago. So happy for you and your DD 😊 xx

I know this has been asked a few times so apologise in advance.
been told today my daughter qualifies for dla, when it comes to UC what do I do?
I work part time so I can care for her but I’ve seen people say with the carers bit you lose out? But one carers thing you don’t?
Sorry if I sound clueless (I am!!)

@HKiSm So there’s carers allowance and carers element. Carers allowance is taken from UC £ for £ and you can only qualify for carers if you earn £139/week or less. Carers element is on UC and you will qualify for that on top of your UC

Thank you so much!

Just seen on FB that someone got awarded today with a scan date of 25th September so that’s 14 weeks for a new claim.

My scan date is 13th September (New claim)

Anyone else from September had an outcome? #Confused Xx

@Sunshinesun weve seen a few September's and an October which is really annoying all us August claims 😂 I might make a complaint tomorrow tbh. It's not on that there's still someone from the 1st of August still waiting but end of September's are getting decisions. And that's just the people that have posted to inform other people that they've got a decision.

Hi my scan date is 11th sep not with decision maker yet was told upto 20 weeks

@Sunshinesun Saw that as well . They are so many random dates call handlers have no idea and given different time scales feel bad for the people still in August
