DLA WAIT TIMES 2026 - AUG/SEPT/OCT

[shejokes11]

I made a new thread as the other one consisted mainly of July/August claims. Feel free to insert scan date for the above months and whether it’s a new claim or MR and update when you have been awarded ! Good Luck 🤞🏽
NC - new claims
MR - mandatory reconsideration
SD - scan date se

Any Sept SD had anything? Mines is 9/9 so 8 weeks in hopefully not too long to wait! Also my form was 2days late in because I was waiting for a report from someone who was on annual leave, I did explain this on the form, does anyone know if they will backdate from July (when I first called) or only from September seeing as it was late?

Has anyone got a decision from start of September yet?
scan date for ours is 10/9, rang yesterday and said is with decision maker, asked for bank details for security and haven't asked that the last few times ive rang ?

Just rang scan date is 26.8 still in queue, however she did say claims are currently taking 10 to 12 weeks so fingers crossed should hear within next 2 weeks.

28/09 new claim, called last week to check they received extra evidence and was advised a decision maybe made end off November/beginning off December.

Thats just another security question they ask regarding bank details, hopefully you get a decision in the next couple weeks!

I did wonder that wishful thinking really😂 hoping it’s soon can’t stand the wait !

I’m 10 weeks waiting currently! 24/08 scan date

My scan date is the 17th August been with decision maker since Saturday no updates as yet, hopefully we all have good news soon 🤞🏼

Hopefully your have an answer today then x

I rang up this morning and they said no decision has been made yet, but I’m going to ring again after the school run about 4pm no harm in ringing again is there 🤣🤣

No lol I would ! The wait is draining!! X

Oh I agree the wait is killing me i just want an answer already, what’s you’re scan date x

24/08! It’s soul destroying just waiting around 😢x

You’re not far after me! Have you rang to see if it’s with a decision maker? I rang Friday and they said no still in a pile, and then 9am Saturday the decision worker rang me asking more questions, you shouldn’t be far off x

No I haven’t called for a couple weeks now as I don’t know what to say when I call lol x

Just ask for an update no harm in asking! X

I’m going to call now and see what they say haha x

Oh be sure to update us! I hope it’s good news and it’s moving along nicely. X

Scan date 23/09/26 Nc is anyone else’s the same? Any update

still in queue x

Hopefully not much longer! I’m going to ring again shortly they will eventually be sick of my calls at this rate haha x

Just spoken to them I’m just waiting for it to be cleared with a yes or no they don’t require any more information they have everything they need x

Did they give you any time frame? I think my claim isn’t far behind yours time wise x

🤞🙏🤞 hopefully its a yes and decided very soon x

God I think im the latest scan date and im already hating the wait! 20/10 2 weeks today 😂 they did tell me yesterday its in queue 2 waiting to be picked up by a decision maker but that decision maker might take 10 weeks to pick it up 🫠🤣
