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)

@KerBear12 I'm now in a que I want to see if they've got my child's reference number through yet x

Hi everyone. I feel I've made a mistake! My daughter's claim is up for renewal in early May. Was previously told not to send the renewal form in too early, as they do renewals differently and normally literally on the day before the old claim ends. So I sent it in last week which was 8 weeks before. Rang today to check it had been received and scanned, which it had, but the man I spoke to said it could take 12 weeks. Has anyone realistically not had their renewal looked at before their old award ends, when you sent it in with 8 weeks to go? Thanks!

Well that was just an absolute waste of an hour of my time lol x rang to ask if I had time to send in further evidence and a lovely guy btw Dominic asked when my claim was received I told him 31/1 he didn't even ask my childs name n said absolutely you've got at least 6 weeks to send more stuff in 😭 that got me no where

Your the third October date I’ve seen that still hasn’t had a decision, that’s insane people in January are getting awarded it’s soo unorganised it’s unfair. I’m waiting for NI number too before it goes to anyone so mines going to be a longggg time. Scan date 20/11

Hi they usually prioritise renewals before their due to end so I rekon you will hear before it’s due to end hope this helps x

I'm 29th November n whn I called lst Thursday regarding further evidence he said I have plenty off time to send inn n won't get a decision for another 5 weeks x

I guess it’s a positive you have a lot of time to send in more evidence to help your claim. But he still should have checked where about it is😂 xx

Heya. Did you manage to get through?
goodluck 💐

Waste of time still not scanned on the system 😑 I said would it be worth sending again he said you could do yes charming lol 😂 xx

I've just got through there still waiting on my child's national insurance number she said could be another week

What’s your scan date ?x

It's 17/11

@TiredTilly she said it should be in the next week

Did your reference number start with CL ?

Yes it does

Honestly I wouldn’t believe that. The clerical ones are taking plus 20 weeks. There is still some October dates that are clerical waiting for a decision x

8 know I haven't beieved anything they've said since I've been ringing the last couple of weeks it's been seen by a decision maker just waiting on that so he can process it

Hopefully you get awarded🤞💐
how old is your child x

@Lolly966 YES!!! Oh I am made up and even more made up that you are made up! What a weight off your shoulders now. Enjoy the next 2 years and il see you back here 20 weeks before our claims run out 😅😅
you’ll sleep better tonight 💖

Brilliant news so pleased for you 🎉 thank you for your support x

Did you get through? I'm currently calling, forms scanned 22/11

Hi, new to it all but been waiting since April 2023.

COC in April. Declined in December. mR done in December and I called today to ask about it and he said “it’s in the holding queue for the DM”

So what exactly does that mean? Does it mean it’s with a specific DM in their pile and waiting for them OR does it mean that it’s just in a generic queue for any DM? I’m desperate for answers now, so close to giving up if I get declined again 😥

little one is 6. Perthes disease, walks with a limp. Needs support to do activities. She has seizures day and night and doesn’t sleep at all. Requires changing or showering or assistance through the night A LOT. Pathway for being diagnosed ADHD. Help at school etc.

they declined her initially because she can get herself dressed and walk in a line, albeit slowly. So frustrating. I don’t think they read everything 😥
