DLA wait times part 26

[EarlofShrewsbury]

New thread.

Anxiously waiting, scan date 4/9.

All different depends how it affects your child my son has high rate but also has other contributing factors

I'm 8/9/23 aswell no text so far so I'm nervous now. Tbh I'm expecting a no we are undiagnosed so don't have alot of evidence

I've just seen that you have around the same evidence as me so that gives me some hope. Only thing is I didn't have a copy of the adhd refferal I only send the ieps in and that was sent late like October or November because I didn't realise a SEND plan was an IEP and I didn't ring to check they received them because I work 5 days a week, and would never be able to get through. I did also get a short supporting statement from his teacher so im hoping that helps. I pray he gets a yes will allow me to get him some 1 to 1 tuition and some behavioural support 🙏

Scan date 4/11 so just parked up waiting patiently 🤣

We didn’t either! Keep positive x

@Cjbabs1986 on a weekend must be overtime we’ll done xxx

@Cjbabs1986
congrats, hoping I hear next week 🤞

I keep seeing that it’s hard to get HRC without bundles of evidence.

Just putting this here for anyone who’s worried. I didn’t send any evidence but was very comprehensive on the form. I just wasn’t in the right headspace to gather evidence at that time and didn’t send any. I believe they sought medical records and called the school and she got HRC… send in what you have but just make sure you are very detailed on the form.

Good luck everyone

Congratson your reward you must be so please ! , this makes me so nervous my scan date 6th sep.when i called friday it had veen with dm since thursday day before.. can i ask did u ask for a text to be sent ? I have heard they dont always send one and alot of people have had to ask for one . Im hoping this means they may have made a decision on mine now but no text as i dident ask for one ? God this wait is awful. Just wabt to know now either way . Monday cant come quick enough to call for updates x

We received the first letter 4 days after sending forms does that mean confirmation of Scan date

Because it says up to 15 week's and you don't have to call

Hi don’t know if anyone else has had this happen or not but it’s making me anxious so thought I’d ask.

I sent my sons form at the start of September. I’ve had no letter with scan date on but they did send a request for his birth certificate. I’ve been really late responding with the birth certificate and I’m just wondering if anyone knows if he’s been taken out the queue if you know what I mean while they wait for his birth certificate. I’m kicking myself.

I’m going to give the latest evidence I’ve sent some time To get there - I posted it on Friday so does anyone have any idea when it will likely be scanned in? I want to ring to check, I was thinking maybe end of the week which will have been 6 or 7 days since I sent it but maybe that’s too early?

No, it doesn't get taken out of the queue.

I believe it takes a couple of weeks for new evidence to be received and scanned at the minute (at least that's what a couple of posters have been told recently) Might be worth ringing to check after a week, though. Can't harm.

Good luck everyone. Can’t believe how long it takes.

@tiredmum1989 I had to send a copy of my little boys birth certificate. Sent it special delivery and to my surprise I received it back the next day so they were really quick with mine x

Coming up to 15 weeks since Scan date this week hoping it will be no longer than 4 to 5 more weeks wait fingers crossed with any luck sooner #wishfulthinking

Thank you, this is reassuring as I was the same filling my sons out…the form is detailed but very little evidence sent with it.
i do have everything ready for MR if needed, (hopefully not)
scan date 12/09,

I wounder if any of us will get text today if there on overtime

I believe people have had texts at the weekend and calls from the DM before (I'm coming up 18 weeks 😬)

Just over 18 weeks ( scan 7/9) I attempted to call on Friday, and hit the wrong options number. The guy I got through too was really polite and said it's currently 18 to 20 weeks but moving quite fast. He couldn't give me any info on the claim as its a different system that he was logged in to. When I did eventually get through to the correct department I was on hold for an hour until I was cut off. I've decided to just sit it out for the next couple of weeks and hope for the best outcome.

Scan date 26/10/23 so hopefully hear something soon. Very worried I haven’t filled the form out properly and sent in enough evidence due to being overwhelmed by stress and depression.

do I need to gather more evidence and send in or leave it ?

congrats everyone who’s been awarded and good luck to those waiting 😊

Hi, I am new to this but been following for months and months 😂 I sent a change of circumstances off and our scan date was 5/9 and still waiting does any one know the waiting times please, I was going to ring up this week 🙈

I'm 5th sept I'm getting so anxious now

Ahh my scan date is the same, I am also so anxious, think I might ring up tomorrow, my daughter already receives HRC we are just waiting on a mobility decision now

Dose any know the address to send off for m.r please as I forgot to ask when I called as I've not had her letter yet post is late xx

Scan date 7/9 am checking this like a mad woman and praying for an award, anyone same date and heard yet? I’m 19 weeks this Thursday
