Scottish Child Disability Benefit

[Doneinmamma]

Hi everyone, newbie here 👋

I came across what looks like an old thread on waiting times for the ‘New’ Child Disability Benefit in Scotland which seems to have stopped in July. I just wondered if anyone had applied recently and what the waiting times were?

I know it say 6-8 weeks BUT I also know when a teenager says they will do there room later, that could be later that day or later that year so wondering if I should take the 6-8 weeks with a pinch of salt.

My son is Autistic and was urged to apply for it.

Thank you everyone

I sent in ds review in December and I've still not heard anything.

@papadontpreach2me I did a change of circumstances in March last year and I didn’t hear back until November. I think claims are taking at least 6 months.

My son is due a review in November, can I ask how long before your review was due did you receive your review form?

@Oneandonly22 we got a letter that his review was due to start in December and the form turned up mid December. I posted them straight back and still waiting. The payments have continued but no update on his review yet.

Just an update. When you contact them now they no longer tell you anything. Not current status or time frame. Why don't they just hire more staff?

when did you hear back again? I received a txt to say the same thing and wondered how long it would take from this stage
