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

I have the same date as you and I haven't had anything yet! From what I can tell (via this thread and FB online groups) it looks like our dates will be active with a DM early next week! I hope so, anyway 🤞 I'm gonna give em a ring on Monday or Tuesday just to see where we are! X

I’m 21/8 too and thinking the same about next week! 🤞🏼

Okay I might do the same to be honest but I really hate calling them. Let me know how you get on! X

Yeah me too, and it depends on the agent you get as to whether you get good info! Eee! Well, let me know how you get on...and I'll update, too! X

Mines the 17/08 been with decision maker since Saturday, I wouldn’t worry about calling, I’ve called multiple times 🤣

Its probably worse if youre told its with a decision maker as its more tempting to call for an answer! I have no patience whatsoever so if I was told that id probably call multiple times a day! 🤣🤣 x

Didn’t receive a text or letter yet but just received what looks like 11 weeks hrc back pay!
nc 19/08
hang in there everybody!

Thats fantastic news congratulations x

I only sent had gp note’s. I guess mine is definitely a no😓😭

Congratulations!!

I’m going to call them again today 🤣🤣 but I think they might be waiting till Tuesday as they did ask the date when my daughters nhs boots would be fitted so I’m not to sure x

I wouldn’t think so as they can contact you’re gp for more information don’t give up hope! X

I’ve been following this thread for about a week and was so anxious as I have a SD for NC of 18/08 and haven’t heard anything. I called today and they’ve said it’s still waiting to be processed

Hello, my scan date is 17/08 been with decision maker since Saturday and still no updates the wait is long!!! X

New claim, scan date 04/08 received what looks like mrc back payment over night! No text, no letter yet and I didn’t ring at all as I was too nervous 😂
I didn’t have much evidence as my child is still waiting to be diagnosed but I wrote out around 6 pages of what our struggles are on a daily basis. Hopefully everyone’s wait won’t be too much longer now!!

I’m going to just try and mentally check out for another 2 weeks as it’s quite draining thinking about it.

I hear you I think I’m going to do the same! X

NC sd 24/08. Called today and the guy said its in the 2nd queue. Anyone know what that means?

SC-02/09..just phoned and still in the holding que..her guess was as good as mine as to how long I'm going to have to wait..urgh.

Renewal claim due 23.02.2027.
Text 5.10.26 confirming paperwork received and they aim to let me know before current award runs out. Does anyone know how long roughly this takes to hear?

If you've been awarded, keep a look out on your bank as you will most likely receive the backpay money before the letter comes. Good luck x

No I’ve rang again, they said it’s still waiting to be cleared and they can’t give a time scale, decision maker rang me Saturday and asked a few questions and said they didn’t need anything else I’m simply just waiting for a yes or no but hopefully I hear something next week atleast! Xx

What sort of questions did they ask you? I received a call from them Wednesday evening they asked me about pensions from Poland etc and nationality. Then said it was a waiting game. SD 18/08

Q2 is holding queue waiting to be assigned to a regional benifit centre and then distributed to their decision makers.x

Basically the same really! Asked if my child was a British citizen and about her nhs boots fitting date and that was it really, I rang and asked them to check the case file notes to see if they needed anything else and they said no it’s just waiting to be cleared but no time scale x
