DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 83

[MyLifeHasChanged]

Hi all

Made a new thread for those of you who need to discuss wait times and ask questions!
Please post your scan dates etc

NC = New Claim
MR = Mandatory Reconsideration
SC = Scan Date

Im waiting on outcome of my DD's renewal due 29/09/2026

Thank you for responding. I guess, the good thing is there is no decision to be made it’s just a case of when it gets done.

🤞🏼 they clear the back end of July over the next week. Hoping my SD 24th July sneaks in this week.

Hope so. It seems they are also working the weekends too looking at other peoples award dates. Xx

Looks like it’s moving, saw someone post they’ve been awarded with 23/7 scan date so 🤞 xx

My SD was 23rd July. I’m hoping I hear back soon, the anxiety of not knowing is killing me and I worry about calling and asking if there’s an update 🤦🏻‍♀️

Someone has posted on the FB group that they recoevwd backpay and their forms were scanned 17/08 🫣

It’s so strange how they do it 🤣 as I’m 22nd and not heard anything! X

Its crazy! And they wonder why people call up loads of times 😂

Exactly that. They don’t give nothing away on how it works etc. so confusing. I do wonder if because they requested my daughter’s birth certificate if that slowed things down. As that didn’t get sent back till 11th of August x

There’s no harm in calling, it is what they are there for. It’s not as bad as it seems when you’re trying to pluck up the courage to do it. Xx

Whattt.. lol maybe they are under special circumstances or something xx

When I previously claimed for my other daughter, the only time I called was because I’d had an update in medication and wanted to let them know and that she told me that she’d been awarded. But I feel rude just ringing and asking just for an update, Especially as my text on the 23/7 said it can take up to 25 weeks

Genuinely think we've been refused. I've been checking his onegov account twice a day and nothing. Being physically sick now with the anxiety. This process is so exhausting. Fingers crossed for you all.

I was the same I claimed for my youngest that took 4 weeks unfortunately, had to do an MR though still waiting on that too. I called a couple of times with questions, I said I didn’t want be a pest and the lady said call as many times as you want to, that’s what we are here for. The up to 25weeks is just something to
allow for different things like staff levels. They actually publish they aim to clear new claims in something like 45 days xx

What’s a onegov account?

What's your scan date?

I thought onegov is just for adults

I think 13 year olds plus can have basic ones I’m not sure though x

Oh ok. Thanks. My child is too young

A lady on here mentioned it earlier on the thread. It's an account to see what benefits you get. She set her child up one and found out that way that she'd been awarded.

23rd july. Seems quite a few people of this date are still waiting.

It definitely seems to be going slow again this week with the dates moving forward xx

It won’t let me set one up for my child 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ve sat here trying

Same date as you

I’m 28th and still seems a long way off at the moment xx
