DLA Wait Times - Part 27

[FlutterByASD]

New thread following on from part 26

How long are they with decision makers and they say not long what’s there not long mean lol

I got through, my first time calling not with a decision maker yet just in the hold queue, not sure how long that will take but he said If I’ve not heard in 2 weeks ring them back. 26/09 I’m already at 18 weeks tomorrow.

Yes! Put in a claim for carers now.

Scan date 28/9 does anybody else think some people on certain fb groups are just winding people up I’ve had to stop reading them some are saying been awarded from late October scan dates the longer I waiting the more anxious I’m getting… congratulations to all that’s been awarded over the weekend

@Lisa3kids we have the same scan date and when I called them today I’m in a holding queue but someone on here got awarded Saturday for an October date, I think it’s ridiculous because I originally applied for my daughter when she was 4 and she was refused so I’ve waited 6 years for more evidence and now the wait is driving me literally insane x

This has been mentioned a couple of times, I wouldn’t read too much into it, this thread seems a much better guide as to where they are up to. If they are lying I feel sorry for them, but who knows they could have been applying under special circumstances x

Congrats on all the awards this morning! x

They are all liar liar pants on fire

@Jneill2021 Called this morning spoke to a lovely lady, I am with a decision maker and should hear anytime now 100% before the end of the week x

My son is 15 next month always has a feeling there wasn’t something quite right was bounced from pillar to post from about year 2 getting told it was his muscles then feet then body core loads of different appointments with different people no diagnosis then Covid hit all appointments stopped first day back to school in yr 8 by then he lost his balance and injured his knee has had 2 ops since neither have worked to be told he is dyspraxic but told old to be given a formal diagnosis alls we have is a ot assessment which he score 1 on

Just rang my son was awarded mrc on the 26th no text or call to let us know only evidence sent was a note from his portage worker so relieved scan date 21/09 hope you all get good news.

Sorry better update now I’ve got over the shock.

scan date 21/09

awarded high rate care, low rate mobility on Friday 26th. No text to say I’ve been awarded.

I also called that Friday afternoon and the man didn’t even say it was with a DM.

good luck everyone x

Congratulations, great news for you dc

Fantastic, congratulations

@Keddie yay glad the wait is nearly over for you really hoping they change there mind for your little one xx I'm going to call back end of the week hopefully it will at least be with someone xx

Whats peoples scan dates who have been awarded please

Trying to get through to find out what rate we was awarded on Saturday . Can’t even get on hold grahhh x

When you ring do you need to give reference number?? I've lost the letter that had it on but know they ask for it

Congrats everyone!! Still hanging in there, just really hard as need to pay for physio for daughter. Fingers crossed not long to go Scan date 12/10 😬

Any october dates been awarded today?

@Amycroft they will just take you through Some security questions x

Try calling from a withheld number (put 141 in front of the number) x

Currently on hold now! Definitely think all be making a complaint as twice I was told it was with the decision maker then last week told it’s in holding que hasn’t even been assigned to anyone! I don’t think it’s fair the amount of mixed communication and information giving to people who are fighting to get there kids the support there need someone really needs to get there act together when it comes to information giving to people

13/10 hopefully not too long now seeing alot of late September dates being rewarded congratulations to all of you... The wait is awful they need a better system

@Jumping85 Thank you , I’ve managed to get on now . Hoping I don’t get cut off or spend hours on hold - I just hope he got what he deserves x
