19/10. I just spoke to someone really nice on the phone. They haven’t yet scanned any evidence I’ve sent, but to be fair it was only sent a week ago. He said not to worry, as it’s not with the decision maker yet. I’ll phone back after my son has his next paediatrician app.

scan date is 26/10 find myself checking on here regularly and a fb page for updates lol - I had a text last Monday to say they still looking and not to call them. Anyone else around my scan date?

I'm the 25/10. I've had no texts and no letters! Currently week 16 now. The waiting is so stressful!

Lindsey89 · 12/02/2024 14:21

@lpt33 oh fabulous news

lillyT83 · 12/02/2024 14:22

Hi all, I read on here that if send more evidence after forms are sent in and your awarded it's back dates to when the new evidence was sent in?! I've sent a new claim which was scanned on 16th September (I downloaded forms) but sent new evidence in January. I dont want to hold up phone lines. I've also got a coc going through end of Nov (scanned 28th sept) has anyone heard anything regarding coc forms at all?

Hope everyone hears soon and well done to those awarded and for the ones still battling on x

Claudb98 · 12/02/2024 14:37

Scan date 18/10 coc still waiting ..

Hayz0711 · 12/02/2024 14:41

Scan date 19/10 CoC, was told on Thursday it was with DM. Not sure I believe that though, they do chat crap!😂 x

@ForMauveEagle I had a txt to say still looking on the 22nd Jan and then a txt this sat the 10th to say my daughter qualifies x my scan date was 12/10 so I waited 17 weeks 2 days. gl i know it drives u crazy in the end x

Edited

My text was 29th and scan date 18/10 so in theory about a week behind you, which would suggest this week. Do you know when the decision was made?

Twinmum2514 · 12/02/2024 14:54

Hi everyone just got off the phone and the lovely lady I spoke with was really helpful, she told me we are in the holding pile waiting to go to a decision maker. Does anyone know approximately how long it takes to go from holding pile/decision maker for a decision?

I found out today our child was awarded our scan date was 13/10 you should just be behind us hang in there you will find out soon I’d ring up next week if you don’t hear anything I rang up last week on 7 feb was told no update

KellieD90 · 12/02/2024 16:34

Thank you, that gives me hope. The process of waiting months for a decision is awful. I'm on this thread all the time. Your all keeping me sane. Congratulations to you! Hopefully ours won't be too long now. Really think DLA needs to process everything online like a portal we can log into, would make the wait easier

A lot of people who get awards have the money more or less 18 weeks from scan date exactly

RainsbowandBunnies · 12/02/2024 16:44

Congratulations everyone that's been awarded today - must be so relieved 🥰 x

Jessica0 · 12/02/2024 16:55

I rang today scan 24/10 still saying waiting for DM said same 2 weeks ago honestly never no how to take the calls

mkaislam · 12/02/2024 16:57

Helenmelon74 · 10/02/2024 08:30

Morning, my scan date was 11/10 and although I’ve not received a letter I have a Monzo notification of money going in on Tuesday!! 🥳🥳 Not sure what I’ve actually been awarded but it roughly works out as 23 weeks of MRC and LRM ☺️

Is our payment date then automatically every 4 weeks from the date the back pay goes in?

Edited

what date did you ring to get the forms?

mumtumok · 12/02/2024 17:07

Hi all I was awarded 2 Saturdays ago … I still haven’t had my award letter or the letter I requested to do a MR on rates. How long have other peoples took ? Think I will call tomorrow and ask where they are x
