TBF they need to update the letters and say it’s taking 20 weeks
it’s no use them getting upset at people calling up at 17/18 weeks etc when the letters are saying it’s taking 15 weeks

Agree

Yes I read that as well fingers crossed they stick to it 😂 il prob be here for another month 😂 have you heard anything yet x

I'll be here for another 9000 sleeps probably 🤣🤣. 4/12 so not expecting to be anywhere near a dm even though others have been awarded after me. I'm first time claim so not sure if it makes a difference in the pile you land in 🤣.
I rang last Thursday and was told it'll get to dm on 20th April...well the poor lad prob went home and had a drink after listening to me rant haha!! I'll be still here for thread 40 for sure. How about you? I see so many posts I end up getting lost where everyone is at 🤦‍♀️🤣 x

That's awful if they don't answer after waiting that long. Hope they answer for you 🙏. If not you'll have to ring dead on 9 if you can.i started ringing them before, and gave up after 23 mins as i thought im only 15 wks on monday, nothing will have changed 🤣 x

Yeah I saw your post before so started ringing them this afternoon. Gave up after 23 mins because I thought knowing my look ill ge at the bottom of some slow dms waiting pile and I'll be annoyed even more than I am today so gave up 🤣. I might ring tomorrow morning if I can get my child into school without any issues.
Is yours a 1st claim? X

Margot82x · 14/03/2024 17:13

Do they normally cut you off when the office closes? I've never rang beyond this point x

Lolly966 · 14/03/2024 17:16

@Duchess89 I wonder if we’ve got the same dm then? Because I’ve called 3/4 times since last Thursday and they all say the same thing with a dm but no decision yet. It’s driving me insane! hopefully we hear something soon even a text over the weekend

Sophx99 · 14/03/2024 17:19

Scan date 23/11, I rang earlier today for an update and the lady on the phone said “it should be already done , oh wait it’s actually with a DM, you should hear something by Monday/Tuesday at the latest by text”. Do DLA usually send out texts if it has been rejected as I’ve only ever seen outcome texts for those that have been awarded?x

My other son’s claim is 3/12 and his is going to dm tomorrow they told me and should hear by next week

23/11 been awarded today

Margot82x · 14/03/2024 17:25

@KatexCR I’m unsure I’ve never called this late before, it’s still playing the music so I’m guessing it cuts off at 5.30, only 6 mins to go!

@Hhhhhoo did you call to find out or did you get a text? Not many texts seam to be going about. Congrats everyone on the awards today, more movement today than any day this week x

A message will start at 5:31 saying they can’t take calls or something along those lines
