DLA Wait Times - Part 27

[FlutterByASD]

New thread following on from part 26

@Liddyj Congratulations!! I'm so pleased the wait is finally over for you. All of these very quick decisions make me hopeful that those of us still waiting will get some news soon.

Liddyj congratulations!🥳 I bet you feel so relieved now it’s over! If you don’t mind me asking how many weeks were you waiting till you got rewarded? X

Same iav only had 2 letters 🤷‍♀️ hopefully we here soon x

same date as me. I wasn't even bothered about checking at first but now I'm panicking, what if she gets rejected. After a fight for a diagnoses etc. I just don't feel I have enough fight in me for an appeal. Although a Family member advised that its unlikely she will be declined but she's never heard of wait times be as long as they are now.

@FlutterByASD & @Lolly966 thankyou it was awarded yesterday which was exactly 18 weeks from my scan date of 19/9.. Iv been checking my phone all the time hoping for a text even ringing today I thought I bet it’s a decline because Iv not had one the lady on the phone just said a decision was made yesterday a letter has been sent out and I just thought oh my god nooo I said could you tell me what the decision is then she told me I’m so relieved I honestly have done nothing but fight for my child since him being little he’s diagnosed ADHD and he’s extremely difficult just so glad I don’t have to fight for this a real weight lifted off my shoulders x

Fingers crossed we do! X

This group has been amazing a real little community of us parents fighting for our children I can’t thank you all enough for the support and I hope you all get your decisions very soon x

@Liddyj yay!!! Congratulations 🎉 x

Hi, I was awarded on Monday 🎉 and expecting the back payment. Has anyone had that payment on a day other than Tuesday and Wednesday?
Thanks 😊

@Liddyj congratulations x

hi yes I rang Monday and he said by middle of Feb so fingers crossed sooner than later x

@Liddyj

If you dont mind me asking, would you mind sharing what rate you got awarded?

i put in a claim 8 weeks ago for my son with ADHD.

@Naylor19 Yes I rang Monday they said middle of Feb. hopefully sooner than later x

@MummyMas82 thankyou and congratulations to you too so glad Iv just rang universal credit to update them it’s too complicated for me online so I’m wondering how long it will take them to back pay there side .. and id think you’d recieve it tomorrow? Isn’t 3-5 days on the Facebook group Iv seen people say they got there first backdated payment on all days not just tuesday and Wednesday I’m thinking mine will be Friday this week x

Just rang scan date 2/10/23 waited a hour to get through but was told not to call back unless it’s been 18 weeks as there is no update but I should receive a letter in 2 weeks

@GoldenTango thankyou hope you get your decision soon x

@Liddyj its such a weight lifted. I updated UC and they told me to keep checking my journal to see that they have checked that P has actually got DLA 🙄
oh that’s great! Thank you so much ☺️ x

Hi I'm new here! Scan date 10/10, hoping for a decision soon!

@AndrewGarfieldsLaptop I couldn't believe it myself

Is this aimed at me

Kellyfoo12345 I seen that on Facebook yesterday! She only waited 7 weeks n new claim!
wish ours was that quick!

That post is a wind up, surely? The last paragraph asking about it being ok to book a getaway gives it away for me.

I can't see someone making it up maybe the pile was knocked over and she / he was placed at top there's been a couple off quick ones awarded and declined

The little getaway may be a polite way of asking does it need to be spent on child ie therapy etc... benidorm here she comes lol (jokes obs)

Random one I'm 18 weeks tomorrow claims with dm but still waiting on decisions what are all you parents planning to spend any backpay on I'm hoping to use it to get a safety sleeper for my boy so I can finally get a night's sleep I am 1 tired momma right now bed time was 4.10am for me last night.
