DLA wait times part 26

[EarlofShrewsbury]

New thread.

Anxiously waiting, scan date 4/9.

Wow sounds like they are all saying different waiting times 🤯 am 19 weeks am hoping I hear back soon

Just got off the phone- decision maker rang to discuss night time needs. She told me that she has been awarded high rate care until she's 14 (she's 2) I cried on the phone cant believe it xx scan date 05/09 good luck all waiting xx

What type of questions do they ask?
Huge congratulations to you such a relief the wait is over x

@EEFO1234 thanks that does help

I had a similar thing happen where I was told the same things by DWP a week ago, but for my PIP. I was convinced I'd been declined. I rang up a few hours later and spoke to someone else. By that time, the decision letter had been uploaded and they were able to give me all the details. (I was successful and awarded)

Appreciate PIP and DLA are different, but it's all DWP and it was such a final sounding statement to me, so I know how you feel.

Fingers crossed for you. The only other thing you can do is wait 2 or 3 days and see if any money hits your bank.

Yes change of circumstances, yes positive but doing a MR as I feel they haven’t even looked at the evidence sent x

@Tangerin i was awarded weds, no money and no text, I called to check address to send evidence and was told I was awarded. Hopefully should get money between tomorrow and thurs

@RainbowZebraWarrior thank you for taking time to reply, brilliant that you got awarded, such a stressful wait isn’t it 😩 anyway I’ve just this minute found out my little boy did get awarded he got the highest rate 🥲 I was convinced it was declined because they said case closed but apparently the case is closed as I can’t appeal it as he’s got the highest rate, which makes sense and I didn’t even think of that earlier. Thank you again for the reply x

Just placemarking.... scan date 21/9

@Loup19863 that's amazing news, I'm so pleased. I was also awarded the highest rate on my PIP so that explains them saying about closure of case. So happy for you. Hope you can breathe a sigh of relief now.

@TTwinnies010920 @AAndrewGarfieldsLaptop
That's crazy all the doffernt times they are saying, she said it has just been updated on waiting times, i seen someone else say they were told 27 weeks this morning too

@Rellz thank you. I rang and found out which child it was. They said money should be in this week and letter in the post. The relief!
They explained they cant send personal details by text which makes sense :-)
I can finally breathe. Now to wait for the other claim which they said should be march sometime....

Just a question….. did everyone get a doctor or teacher to fill out the form for there child someone that knows them. ?

This is my date aswell hope it's not a long wait

Hi does anyone know how long renewal takes as this is my first time doing it x

@Mummy2024
have you rang at all?
im now second guessing myself with what I wrote! My little one was only 5 months old when I filled it out!

Does anyone know how to update UC? My daughter was just awarded MRC but haven’t a clue how to add it to my UC claim x

Here you go, could I ask when was your scan date please? X

What was your scan date?

@Mummy2024 my scan date was 4/09/23 x

Another September award ☺️ I managed to call this morning and was told my son was awarded on Friday, HRC for 2 years!! No mobility due to his age. Scan date 04/09/23 so 18 weeks 4 days it was awarded. I was ready for a MR, gathered loads of evidence as I didn’t have as much as I’d like to have sent initially and was convinced he’d be declined. Such a stressful wait, good luck to everybody still waiting x

Did you have a diagnosis? X

No, no formal diagnosis but he is on the Autism pathway x

No I can't call as im working 5 days a week and when i leave work its straight on the school run but people around My sons scan date are now being awarded so I'm thinking if no money has appeared by Friday its likely a 70% likely a decline and wait for a letter then do a MR

i had a doctor fill in the part, who knows your child, I’m unsure how much this will help, other than a teacher?
