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

Said hopefully by the end of the week! 🤞🏼

Nothing worse than the wait! I waited 10 weeks 4 days before was picked up by decision maker x

I'm 1st September scan date, my forms arrived with them apparently 1st September when they needed to be back by 31st August, they told me on the phone they gave 1 days grace but I just saw someone on a FB group with the same thing and they only backdated to the date they received them! Has anyone else had experience of this?

Hi everyone, just wondering if you could help me. I had a call today from DLA to ask me one question and said they will be making a decision today. I’ve called twice and both people said a decision has been made but no one will tell me whether I’ve been accepted or not. Do you think this is a decline? Thank you for your help.

What was you’re scan date x

When I call I specifically ask if they will open my case file and not just what they see when you give the reference number that way they get more information call back tomorrow option 4 and ask again xx hopefully it’s good news 🤞🏼

I’m in the same boat I was 2 days out… don’t know if it matters, I did have a reason mind you…I’m just exhausted with this wait!

What date was your claim scanned in?
(sorry replied to the wrong person!)

What date was your claim scanned in?

14th of August

Was the 14th of August

My scan date is 12th aug but for a change of circumstances, I might call for an update Friday if not heard this week. Is anyone else doing a change of circumstances?

So I rang yesterday, was told NOTHING! No updates allowed. My scan date was the 4th September, and I have checked my bank account this morning and the money has been awarded into my account, haven’t received a text or anything. I have worked it out, I got backdated the pay to the 31st of July and it’s the middle rate care component! Yayyy!!
but honestly these dates are all over the place! Don’t trust them when you call, I honestly thought they hadn’t even looked at it yet. Just keep checking your bank:)

That’s crazy! I have a 24/08 scan date and phoned yesterday to be told was still in a queue! Congrats xx

I have a 6th August scan date - is anyone else still waiting from this early? It’s making me worry!

What office did your claim go to? I find it so weird how some people are waiting a lot less time than others

Scan date 04/09, rung last Friday , was told no updates allowed, not with decision maker yet, there’s a backlog, but can’t give any other information just have to wait 😞

@Orlandoflorida1 Mine went to WOLVERHAMPTON

Ahhh this is good news!! Happy for you I’m right behind you so hopefully should hear soon

I’m scan date NC 18th August and still waiting 😭

I'm 21/08 and still waiting! Hopefully now the mid-late augusts are generally clearing, we won't be far behind! Congrats to everyone getting awarded 🎉

Hi does anyone know how long a Mr takes thanks I’ve just sent letter why I disagree to each point and sons autism report diagnosis yesterday by tracked so they should
ewciebw it by friday

Just got off the phone to a lovely lady. Scan date 19/8 and still waiting to be assigned to a decision maker :(
I didn't get renewal forms so it's gone down as a NC and now I'm so scared it will be rejected. I'm checking my bank every morning

That’s where I’ve just sent my sons Mr so hopefully it don’t take too long to find out

Nc sd 21/08 rang this morning still in a queue waiting to be assigned, hopefully not much longer
