DLA Wait Times - Part 27

[FlutterByASD]

New thread following on from part 26

I was actually advised not to send my sons sen plans by a dla adviser that helped with the form. I ignored her and sent the forms in as later evidence and I'm very glad I did now. I know the wait will be abit longer but the sen plans will show them a much clearer picture of your child's needs and you should get awarded

Thank you 😊 they said it'll cost me £50 but I will give it a shot and see what they say and if not request his records, thanks for that advice

Thank you hopefully cross fingers I am also seeing the doctor next week about getting OT involved with my daughter aswell x

4/10 recently started nursery so he's 2 years old not able to get mobility nursery have applied for extra inclusion funding already he only been there 2 weeks also collecting evidance towards a echp plan he defo should get high rate care also still have a health advisor as he showed signs autism very quickly and also she's a massive help already applied for a special needs pushchair and got him diagnosed within 3 months hoping dla will take everything into consideration x

There’s 23rd and 26th October today on Facebook been awarded and with dm

@Bell27x which group? The group I’m in doesn’t allow members to post scan dates x

Dla support and advice group UK
they do allow scan dates
the other one is ok but it’s the same questions over and over again x

@Bell27x fibbers!

Oh that's fantastic Lottie!!! No not yet, but sent off 3 extra bits of evidence, and I've rang twice to add further bits, so I'm fully expecting a 20 week decision here. I need to ring on Monday as DS is now going to a specialist school which is 20 miles away, rather than the primary school outside our house 😭

I got a one plan from the school today. Son was diagnosed with ODD last year. He masks massively in school, but it does mention the struggles we have at home.
Is it worth sending the one plan as additional evidence?

How long do uc take to backdate after it's been sent to DM?

hi Good luck all

scan date 19/10 for a COC

got some further evidence not sure wether to send it off now or wait incase I need it for. A MR

any change of circumstances been awarded lately?

Mine only took a couple of days to be sorted once set to a DM. Then about 3 working days to arrive in my bank.

Has anyone ever done a MR for just mobility/just care?

My DD was awarded care on the 5th January but not mobility. I’ve been considering doing a MR to get the mobility she deserves, but will this affect her care award? As in will they potentially take it away from her if the new DM feels she doesn’t qualify for it or it needs lowering? I only have until 2nd February now.

I’ve got the text !!!!!! So relived for my little boy , scan date 28/09

@mumtumok congratulations! Absolutely over the moon for you! Same scan date as me so fingers crossed...😁

@funinthesun19 thankyou! I updated changes on Thursday and was sent to DM then so hopefully it's sorted this week

Congratulations!! Xx

Fabulous, congratulations

@mumtumok Congratulations!! I still haven't heard anything yet, hopefully I do soon!

@mumtumok Wow congratulations! I’m the 27th 🙏🏽 hoping to hear soon

thank you everyone , I’m just so happy my boy can finally have the support in place he needs , I did call them yesterday just to make sure they had extra evidence and she said it hasn’t been allocated but should be by next week

So I’m not good with like the days and stuff . 3-5 working days . Would that take me to Wednesday -Friday ?

Yes I'd say Wed-Fri. I believe back pay can go in on any day but your monthly payment will be made on either Tuesday or Wednesday.

@FlutterByASD lovely thank you sweet, hopefully your decision isn’t too much longer. I will still be watching the thread I have another date 27/10 x
