DLA wait times part 32

[Emma2345]

New thread as this 1 is nearing the end now

scan date 14/11 requested forms 5/10
with a DM the lady said to expect a decision by next week.
Think it’s a case of unless your told on the phone your awarded listen to nothing 😂🙈because all call handlers say differently.

@Destiny35 100% agree! I’m 2/11 I was told by about 6 different people 6 different things 😂 going to call next Friday if I’ve heard nothing x

Been silently following for a week now! I thought my scan date was 7/12 but just called to see if they received extra evidence and turns out my scan date is 13/11 😂 so that was a nice surprise.

the lovely lady I spoke to said should go to a DM next week and looking at 2 weeks for a decision

@Emma2345 am hoping this is true then I will be 20 weeks since requesting on Monday 🤞 xx

15/11 still in holding pile 🙄 x

Thank you @Marie156

I still haven't had the award letter although have seen some payment come in .

I’ve been stalking for some time and have now officially parked. The wait is horrendous.

Telephoned for forms on the 01/11.
Scanned on the 16/11.
Two letters and a text on Monday. My boy has undiagnosed ASD and has been age retained and is currently in reception. Everything is a battle, a battle for diagnosis and now a battle to claim for what is his. Im currently on the phone to add more evidence. Why can’t they have an online system it would make much more sense.

Anyone else think November dates are taking ages. It’s like they got through Octobers and then put their feet up again!

Does it matter from when you phoned for forms to whe you actually sent them off?

It must do because the scan date doesn't seem to be in order 🤷‍♀️

I definitely didn't send them back within the 6 weeks I phoned for them July sent in Nov 😬😬😬

@Fudgie9922 I think you will be going from November then 😂😂😂😂

Is there any difference between MR and CoC, i have new evidence for night care but unsure what to do. My daughter was awarded MRC, the decision can be change to lower the rate as well, even you I think its should be fine

Agree 💯%

Scan date 2/11 my daughter got awarded MRC till 2025 this late afternoon by text! Was expexting high but hey ho! I called up for details! Guys have my fingers crossed for you all 🤞 our kids deserve it ❤️

Was told yesterday I was awarded when does the back payment generally go into banks? Also when and what do I need to tell UC?

Was it a 2 year award?

I dont think so as my daughter turns 4 beginning of May! They said up to 10 days for a letter sol il check then! X

Said my payment was made today as accepted and should get backdated & recieved on the 5th march if that helps x

My scan date was the 30/10 and I’m still waiting to hear! I rung last week and was told another 2-3 weeks. I’m sure I’m not the only the October date still waiting to hear!

@Gg1990x congratulations on the award mine 3/11 did u call for forms hun xx

No I didn't call I sent forms 19/10 bit scanned through 02\11 x & thank you x

aw brilliant I sent them Off on 26th October scanned 3/11 gives me some hope xx

Unrelated, but how long did your children take to potty train and what did you do to help? My son just turned 3, and I am clueless on how to potty train him. He has suspected ASD and also has speech delay. He is currently non verbal.

Anyone’s children recently been accepted for the social communication pathway how long did it take from referral for acceptance my little boy is suspected ASD I emailed SCP again this week but it’s still with the triage team & im just wondering on a rough time scale thanks in advance x
