DLA Wait Times - Part 27

[FlutterByASD]

New thread following on from part 26

Thank you so much my universal credit said I will only be receiving 623 for both of us for the month I don't no how people are expected to live specially when things happen that you don't no is going to happen

I'm so sorry 😞 I really hope your MR gives you an award. We have seen on these threads it definitely does happen so I'll keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞

@EEFO1234
Its awful isnt it we waite sooo long and the declines so draining without having to go through the fight and waite again.
I sent in a letter of diagnosis we have so far
Statement from the child minder ( on how shes limited daily ect)
Diary off how often pain meds are given how long flare ups last and happen
All upcoming appointments/referals

The claim was for my 3 year old daughter with hypermobility serve in knees ankles and wrists so walks very little , reactive arthritis and sleeps very little
And currently awaiting a sleep study for pauses in her sleep
And awaiting referals for asd

@FlutterByASD thank you fingers crossed for eveyone waiting or applying MR

@Twinnies010920 thanks for the info, mines currently with DM constantly checking for updates driving me crazy, good luck with your MR

@Amycroft i had that too and got excited, but it’s the next cost of living payment text for next month just the dates are wrong sadly!

My MR took exactly 8 weeks xx

24th September. They said on the phone it was awarded on Friday 27th x good luck for your decision

if my son is 4 would he qualify for middle and high rate dla? And if refused low rate at 5 I’m panicking now scan date 2/10 rang up last week and they said 2 weeks more it’s keeping me up of a night reading everything

You aren't alone I haven't slept properly in what feels like months 😞 my date is 3/10 I hope we both hear asap! Good luck 💕

Morning is it 4 weeks from when you get your backpayment that you recieve your first payment does anyone know? Thanks

4/10 scan date
Anyone been awarded today x

hi All quick question. Are you able to claim the disabilty element and carers element at the same time as i heard one cancels the other. please let me know and also.. is it dependent on the Rate of care? . Thanks

There’s a new thread part 28 it’s attached to this one somewhere if you look some have been but no Oct dates yet

Hi I'm sure it's just the carers part that cancels the other out so you can claim dla aswel as the child disibility element on uc and you can claim carers element on uc but if you claim carers allowence they deduct it from your uc hope this makes sense

@EEFO1234 Thanks for clarifying!! x

That's what they've told me.

Hello can someone please tell me what phone number they call you from please

How long till uc back dates child element? We've been waiting a month now! Also how do I know when first payment is due after award? Thank you

@Tanyacx did you find out about first payment at all after backdate?

@Carlz90 ive been waiting 2 weeks and still not had an update, just sent to dm

@Bsmumummaj no huni not yet

As far as I am aware you get uc disability premium and carers element, it is the carers allowance (separate claim) that gets deducted from uc

Is there a new link for this chat

@Tanyacx thanku, I just can't find out!! Can't get through on phones
