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

Yes that system is so backwards because if they just had an only update thing for forms it would stop 3/4 of the calls!! The forms are so awful and repetitive like they’re trying to catch us out ! I’ll be glad when all the forms are finished for this year 😩 I’ll let you know what’s said haha x

Hello mines been with a decision maker since the 31st October and still no decision the wait depending on the decision maker varies unfortunately but I hope you hear soon! X

Oh that’s been ages. I’ve heard some DM make decisions very quick. Sometimes even the same day. I hope you hear something on !

Oh wow! I called yesterday and was told mine is waiting to be assigned to a DM, do you know how long it took for yours to go from waiting to be assigned, to assigned to a DM? X

Yes it’s taking a while, I might ring them again after dinner time but I know I will be told the same again x

SD 24/08
called on 10/11 and was with a DM

Calling now for an update 🤞

Rooting for you hun 🤞x

Nervous lol, I never know what to say when they answer lol x

It’s awful I rang yesterday and mines with dm aswell, Took me all day to pluck courage to ring as person I spoke to last week was so rude told me do not phone again wait for a message. Good luck I hope u get your decision x

Congratulations hun, hopefully mines not much longer. X

What's the latest scan date we know has been awarded currently?

Has anyone got texts to advise when awarded?

No text! Only new Because I called

Thank you x congratulations @OpenNavyKoala x I’m still waiting - senco replied to questions sent by DM yesterday and they have received so just now waiting. Feeling so drained and unsure now despite having so much evidence / reports. X

I’m going to brave calling, SD 27th Aug. I called last week and the person I got wasn’t helpful and just said it’s in the queue.

How often are you guys calling? Our SD was 25/08, I’ve called 4 times in that period, initially to make sure they’d received it as I got no text, and they lost it the first time I sent them. The last time I rang they were quite rude. They basically told me they couldn’t give me an update, or even tell me it was with a decision maker, they could only tell me if a decision had been made or not and basically told me to stop calling. I sent in hospital letters, his EHCP, his tube feeding plan and a letter from the school

Today was my 3rd call l just said ‘ I’m ringing as I’d like you to look in my account and tell me if anything is needed from me and where the claim is currently at!’ And the women was lush told me everything including claim amounts xx SD24/08

I've seen a September 4th think it was on page 18 on this feed.... I've also seen some October dates but they're NI and they have a different opperaring system to England and Wales

I wonder if they mark down everytime you call...
