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)

Yh I bet they was sick of us ringing 😂😂🤣 I was going to leave it till next week but couldn’t help myself when I knew you was with a DM I don’t no if I’ve made myself worse now knowing or not 😩🤣🤣any ping or call I’m like is that the DM or text to say qualifies 🤞🤞🤞🤞 we get awarded soon I’m phoning back next week x

20/11
back againnnnn! At this point just tell me yes or no, get the wait over with! It’s so painful!! And so long!! I’m starting to wish I didn’t apply although I know he’s deserving of it 😫😫

I try not to take up space but anyone have any knowledge of how I apply for thr carer element in UC? It's so confusing

are you with a DM yet hun,, I no the wait is horrendous I’m a nervous wreck since applying it’s just the thought of it being a decline I don’t think I could deal with that atm & having to do a MR with how violent my LO is I haven’t got the time to as I have to safeguard him and my other 2 children and nursery have said today their considering reducing his hours and will come to me with the new hours tomorrow,, now I no mine is with a DM my anxiety is even worse feel like nothings going right at all this week x

They’ve only now requested a national insurance number? The reference numbers for the claim is each individual child’s national insurance number I thought

Hi did you start a new thread for MR? As currently on week 6 waiting for one x

I’ve got a scan date of 20/11. I called in Monday and was told my daughter’s case was with the DM and to call next Friday if I’d not heard anything. They said that they hadn’t yet received the further supporting documentation that I sent 2 weeks ago, does anyone know if the DWP can access doctors records to see more updates? My daughter has low muscle tone and has now started physio & has corrective insoles

Honestly this is the worse thing Iv had to do! My youngest is in receipt of DLA and when he was awarded the wait was 8 weeks but I’m sure his took 6! And he was awarded to 2032 - then it will be PIP. That was 3 years ago now but my lord how the system has gone to pot since then it’s madness!!

But this claim is with DM, went over on Sunday to a DM they’ve been saying. I genuinely do think i will be around the 20 week mark. The wait times on the phone don’t help, and then the horrible call handlers make you feel even worse for ringing!
I do remember with my youngest his claim went to DM in the morning and I called back end of that day after ringing in the AM and he was awarded!

Well that's what I thought aswell

@Lulakate84 yes the link is https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/childcare/5027512-mandatory-reconsideration-part-1?reply=133728482

I'm on there - just gone week 3

I'm hoping that means it's with a DM but I've never been told it's with one. Fingers crossed you won't be waiting too much longer x

They seem to be dragging their feet, they’ve had weeks to rectify this for you, I hope whatever they’re doing is quick and you hear something soon

Thank you the first letter I received with my scan date on had her reference number on it so surely they've all ready got it x

It seems they’re making excuses, phone them and tell them you have her national insurance number if they need it, help speed it up a bit for them 😂

@kristie198 they don’t seem to say much on the phone tbf. Didn’t even say I could a decision by text either and thank you! I hope you do aswell! Got my fingers crossed for you x

@xxAmy me and you are still waiting! I’m the exact same hun!! Sick of waiting just wanna know if it’s a yes or no! Did you call up today? I did he said it went to a dm Friday and it shouldn’t be much longer and that was it but it’s driving me crazy with the waiting! X

Haha ill keep you updated on anything I hear.
I just find it all so bizarre how they award people. There doesn't seem to a set criteria they follow. My friends boy has a heart problem since birth and is awaiting a Fontan, and cannot walk very far because of his oxygen levels veing low, so needs a buggy to get about. He's 4. They didn't award her anything until she appealed it!! Shocking really isn't it?
I wouldn't expect to get HRM as she can walk, she just refuses to if she is in a certain mood, and cannot be trusted to walk on her own, has no sense of danger at all.
I'll take a look, thanks 🥰 x

Yh some people have gone to dm and been awarded that day I am not going to ring again now till next week hopefully theirs an answer then and it’s good news also got my fingers crossed you get ur decision soon and it’s what you think ur lo is entitled to xx

@Emma2345 @Shaf89 I may ring Friday if I have time, if not will be Monday xxx

I did call today, I called twice yesterday too 😂
so today they just said they received the claim on 20th of November it’s still being looked at and still being worked on. I should have asked did that mean the DM was active on my claim but… I guess il ask that tomorrow now 🤦🏻‍♀️
I can’t call 9am so il be an afternoon caller 🫣

Yes tomorrow's job 😂 it's funny coz she asked for her reference number to bring her up on the system and I gave it to her x

Please let me no if you do and yeah me too I’m gonna ring Monday if I have time if not deffo Tuesday bang on 9😂 not doing another almost 2 hours on hold x

Sorry yes I did I’ve sent the link xhttps://www.mumsnet.com/talk/childcare/5027512-mandatory-reconsideration-part-1

I'm a day after you, hopefully won't be much longer before we hear anything x

Parking again 4/12

Been on hold for 54 minutes and it’s 5:13pm, realistically what’s my chances of being answered? 😂
