Dla wait times part 35

[Emma2345]

New thread as this one is nearing the end ,, also going to post a separate thread for people either waiting for MR’s or starting the process of one (mandatory recommendation)

Just got off the phone, still no decision but might be later today, he said the DM doesn’t require any extra evidence and I will receive a text when a decision is made 🥱

Best of luck

Wow 😮 not even 7 weeks!!
I'm 8/1 and seeing this makes me feel so nervous. Your DM must be super speedy x

Same scan date! I rang on Friday and they said to me not with DM but aim to have it with them by 16 weeks after scan date then 2-4 weeks after that for decision. I said well it’s no good sending letters out saying 15 weeks then wondering why the phones go mad is it 😂😂 but I’m hoping the time scales she gave was worst case scenario! Really hoping for a decision either way before Easter bank hol! Lots of awards this morning though so they’ve clearly been working the weekend 🤞🏻

I’ve caved and currently calling - silly I know as I’m only 15 weeks !!

8/11 with a dm, said should know by Wednesday which takes me to 19 weeks

To be fair I just have my phone on speaker and doing my cleaning as it’s day off so that makes me feel a bit more productive !

Yes I’m hoping the same other wise I’m going to have to use the money I have saved to take the kiddies places over Easter to buy more stuff to help with sons disability nappys sensory chews etc it’s a joke the wait atm it was quicker during covid and yeah fingers crossed they finish November and early December this week and get us done and awarded next week x

Well done to all awarded this morning. Glad you finally have a decision!
15 weeks today for us, but I'm not phoning now till next week. At this rate it'll be the summer holidays before we hear 😂😂.
Shocked that end of Jan are getting awarded, yet some are still waiting from end of oct/beginning of November! I don't get the way they work this at all 😂. X

@Lolly966 YAY FINALLY you called on the 14th didn't you? Anyways a huge congratulations I knew you would be ok guess we will be seeing eachother on 2025 for the bloody renewals 🤣🤣 I'm so happy for you made my day tbh xxxxx

Just got off the phone . Scan date 06/12 . He immediately said 16-20 weeks but checked my claim anyway. They haven’t looked at my claim yet / still in holding pile. I will now step away from the phone … until next week!!

I’m 15 weeks on Wednesday. I think the poster who got awarded from 31/01 went on special consideration. You get looked at super quick under certain circumstances

@Lolly966 that's great news I'm just waiting for the house phone to charge a bit then I'm gonna ring x

Yay awarded on the 15/3. Thank you for your support x

What was ur scan date x

We got high rate care and back dated until 20th December I could cry

I think the hold pile is where it sits waiting to go to a dm so basically where it’s sat since it’s scanned I think 🌚

@rjnicola no problem at all. Can finally leave this chat and be back in 4 years! Good luck to you all, stay positive and from experience most dm decide pretty quickly x

Finally been awarded middle rate Care and low mobility scan date 6/12, do you claim carers through UC please? Thanks all

@Fudgie9922 yes I did call on the 14th in the morning but it probs got made in the afternoon! Thank you sooo much for keeping me sane and checking on my updates!🥺Im over the moon still can’t believe it! We’ll be keeping each other sane for the 2025 renewals🤣🤣 now to get onto Uc but I haven’t got a clue what do xxxxxx

No she said it wasn't, it was just a normal new claim.
Just keep seeing the odd new ones coming through. It's mad lol. X

@TealFawn hi you have the same scan date as me is yours a new claim ?

Amazing!! Yes you can claim through them the carer element rather than carers allowance as uc will claw back pound for pound otherwise x

So happy for you!! Xx

I was going to phone tomorrow. Have you heard anything?
