DLA Wait Times - Part 28

[FlutterByASD]

Thread following on from part 27

@Jesslou37 ahh amazing news how long did it all take x

@eatdrinkandbemerry i was thinking to appeal myself at the such short award as we was only awarded July last year from a claim in march and by the September I had the forms to fill in again I filled them in sent them off they said they received 9th October and on their System she said it says awarded HRC till march 2024 then under neath that awarded HRC till march 2025 so I’ve been awarded again for a year ,, I wonder if it’s because he is only 20 months old and it’s for breathing but he does have a potential diagnosis of severe asthma but due to age they won’t diagnose till after 2 just in the last 3 months alone he has needed 3 courses of steroids and he is on antibiotics 3 X a week coz he kept getting pneumonia he is on antihistamines 2 times a day and 4 different inhalers both day and throughout the night soon as he gets a cold he is straight in hospital requiring oxygen and he has a low immune system so needs constant boosters to protect against things as the injections they have as a baby up until 12 months his system doesn’t give him protection against the pneumococcal one so every few months they have to check his levels again and give him another booster and he has severe excema and allergies I think with all of that he should of been awarded a bit longer considering this has been going on since he was born so almost 2 years straight I may appeal the length of award xx

Oooh I will keep an eye on your updates for sure!
and I see you used the full six weeks like I did with the forms 🤣🙈

@Mykidsmyworld4 thats so quick im 10/11 so hopefully not too long. Did you send much evidence if you dont mind me asking x

@Shaf89 al be keeping an eye on your updates too 😂 hopefully we hear something soon the wait is a killer

It was very quick I’m in shock he’s been awarded hrc no mobility as under 3, I sent he’s referrals to salt and paediatrician also health visitor letter from his development checks as she was coming every 2 months, also portage wrote on the form also play plan he’s non verbal very violent and displays a lot of asd signs has pica x

@Leannieboo there’s 2 addresses recorded delivery can only be sent to 1 of them the other address is just a free post one so can only be standard delivery x

@Mykidsmyworld4 thats brilliant congratulations x 🤞🏼 mines as quick 🤣xx

with uc I asked if my messages were received - just had a message saying yea they are with your case manager is that a decision maker ?

When did you update your uc hun? I updated yesterday but nothing from them yet, other than my work plan being updated by an agent x

After 17 weeks got the text to say my son has been awarded today. Forms received on 10/10 so happy right now - what a long wait!

Has anyone here applied for DLA for a child with multiple allergies ? He doesn’t carry an epi pen .

sorry if this is the wrong place to post, please move if necessary thanks

Mykidsmyworld4 I’m literally a week behind you! 20/11 congratulations on your reward x

Wow, seems they are working through quickly! Long time lurker. 06/11 scan date. Feel.its been the longest wait ever. Good luck everyone

Mine must be off sick haha, I wrote on yesterday afternoon after I spoke to dla and then I called uc to make sure I done the update correctly and I've heard nothing, yet an agent has updated my work plan yesterday??
