Waiting time for DLA Third Thread

[Mummy2boys1520]

Hi the Second thread ended because when it reaches a 1000 comments it will close I thought I would set this up so everyone can talk again

@Blabbermouth93 I havnt rang yet I've got my sons portage worker out this morning so once she leaves going to ring hopefully with a dm as the wait is terrible just wish they say it will be done by this date and stick to it lol you had any luck ? Xx

Just phoned up Isla has been Awarded higher rate care until 2022 As she will be 3 then , and she will be able to apply for mobility actually cried on the phone the women couldn’t have been nicer wow so much stress has just been lifted off my shoulders I hope you all get the decision you are looking for keep me up to date @Jneill2021

@Blabbermouth93 absolutely amazing I'm so happy for you and your little one, I'm so nervous now waiting I'll keep you updated again I'm so glad you got such a good outcome xxx

@Blabbermouth93 how long was it in total before your decision? Xxx

@Blabbermouth93
That's brilliant news, so happy for you and your daughter, you can breathe now. I'm 7 weeks this week hopefully a couple more weeks to wait.

So in total it was 10 weeks one day but 10 weeks 3 days until I found out as they made the decision on the Saturday I honestly am still shaken just can breathe properly now and not stress about there Christmas haha x

@Blabbermouth93 I'm 9 weeks atm so really hoping it's sorted this week or beginning of next such a good outcome for you, yh ino what you mean I want to get alot more sensory toys for my boy so hoping it's sorted fast so can get them in for Christmas for him must be such a relief for you xx

Just spoke to a lovely lady mine hasn't been looked at yet but there now working on dates up to 29th Sept now so she said I should have a decision this week fingers crossed xxx

@Jneill2021 it honestly is with having to give up work and to be honest I’m juggling two asd and adhd and ocd boys and Isla with her seizures it’s taking every thing out of me and not being able to work now was having a serious impact financially and emotionally so best thing to have happened just need to wait on the boys outcomes now 🙄😂 not stressing as much about that now though fingers crossed you get it this week please just keep me updated x

@Jneill2021they are working up to the 29th Sept? Yaaaaay! Ours was recieved the 29th, so this includes ours?

@DeludedWench Yes up to 29th, mine was recieved 28th and I said should I be looking at end of this week next week and she said should imagin it will be dealt with this week so fingers crossed, I'm going to call back Wednesday as I sent in more evidence today so should recieve it tomorrow x

@Jneill2021oh oh! Yay! Good luck! Please update when you have called! It may be our week!

I honestly can't handle this anxiety any more lol.

@Blabbermouth93 I'm dealing with 2 asd possible adhd and I feel it can't imagin how your feeling hopefully everything just gets better in time, I couldn't work my daughter has only just started full days she was only doing 2 hours a day, constantly having to pick her up due to meltdowns my little boy starts next year absolutely dreding it as he is so much work the meltdowns can be unbearable xx

@DeludedWench I'm so happy there working on ours as some man said to me might be after Christmas I thought no way that would be terrible xx

Lovely to see people getting good news I finally had UC calculate my back pay today after ringing again nearly 4 months late but the money went in this afternoon (same day payment) thank god!

@Alk19 the wait is finally over lol glad it's all sorted for you now after such a long wait xx

@Jneill2021 I can stop pestering them now they even backdated my bedroom tax which was a bonus x

@Alk19 At last! I bet you're chuffed! That will come in handy for Christmas ❤

@DeludedWench it certainly will just glad I don't have to keep pestering now for the chasing up of DS appointments :( x

@Alk19 ino the feeling I got so many lately audiology, portage, speech and language, dieticians plus the list goes on lol xx

@Jneill2021 I've got speech and language to chase he's not been seen by them for about 6+ months his peads is the same they were meant to send their team of psychologists and OT's in to nursery and Bryce not been he also has a service in nursery he's still not been picked up by and his pathway appointment for his official diagnoses is a 12 month wait (been about 6)

@Alk19 it's silly ain't it we've always gta chase something x

I called today and was told exactly what you were @Jneill2021 ! He also added that if further information had been sent, and not just the claim form, decision makers tend to be quicker with those applications. I'm guessing it's because they're not chasing for details then.

But yes, hopefully to the decision maker this week or beginning of next for up to the 29th Sept applicants.

Just hope the next stage isn't long lol.

@DeludedWench I really hope there just quick at making decision the woman acted like a decision should be made this week so I'm really hoping for that as I have sent so much evidence I've done like 4 post office runs lol all next day Signed for so nearly £40 on sending it all lol x

@Jneill2021 with that much dedication, I'm worried I didn't send enough now! Lol.

I only sent one sheet in with the claim that had a list of his diagnosis on from a Doctors letter.
