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

Congratulations! What a relief! I’m so happy for you! 💙
Did they tell you over the phone? we’ve been told a decision has been made but they wouldn’t tell me anything else! I feel sick waiting

Thank you so much. I really really hope positive outcomes for you all. Life is very hard and different for us and our wonderful children so all this helps with life x sending positive vibes to you all xxxxx

Ive still got months yet to go 🤣🤣🤣 but I just love seeing you girls update with positive news ❤️ im hoping 1st/2nd week in jan 🙏 for my new claim x

Always have hope. Always fight x

Do we have any idea how long renewals are taking?

Call again. Yes they did and he offered it immediately, I think some like to hold the power.xxx

Ahhh I’m so happy they told you and I’m so happy you got awarded. It makes it worth it!

I called twice and neither would tell me :( x

Ask when your next payment is due, if your child has been awarded they'll tell you a date 😊

What is your scan date? My sons is the 28/09 and I feel we will be lucky if we hear before Christmas 🙈

20/10, I think you should hear between 14-21st dec 🙏 most decisions recently have been between the 11/12w mark so I hope you hear something just before Christmas ❤️

Hopefully you hear back beginning off January 🤞🏻 I have seen a few October ones be done, I dont understand how they say they do them in date order when some have much quicker outcomes unless its special circumstance.

Amazing ! Congrats.. that is what we are hoping for too. What evidence did you send in ? You are lucky you got through to a nice person. I’m always getting rude ones 😭

Just jumping in

LG scan date is 29/09 im hoping mid december at the latest

I sent IEPs over 3 plus year period, Ed psychologists letters, CAHMS letter, dyslexia test, SALT assessment, and detailed information on claim form about night time needs. Good luck with your claim x it’s so stressful and I hope for a good outcome for you x

Son is 10 x didn’t realise I could claim without official diagnosis xxxx

Feels like we've been waiting ages already and yet we have another few weeks to go yet, i called end off October just to be sure they received extra evidence and the lady said to call end off November/beginning off December but seeing by dates theyre around 21-26th August so I say atleast another 4-5 weeks.

I'm waiting on a renewal due 19th jan I just sent extra wrote up as looking at forms I fill night time boxes in wrong I'm dyslexic so number and letters confuse me just hoping they read the letter I sent explaining that filled in wrong and take into account that my write up on page after is her night time not the boss with numbers when your due lovely

Here’s hoping, I did something similar on my first claim and it prevented my son getting hrc, he got mrc instead awarded through court in January. Current claim ends 28th December but sent paperwork off about 8wks ago

Yeah shes currently on mrc but definitely deserves hrc and I would do mr if she got mrc again first time I totally expected the mrc as no evidence but this time over 100 pages of evidence and my write up so hopefully goes the right direction aww fingers crossed not to long then lovely I sent mine off 28th September recived text the 29th

SD 2/9/26 and 29/9/2026 both NC phoned today still in queue waiting for a descion maker.

same dates 🤭Keep me posted and I’ll let you know too hopefully it goes well for us 😅🫶🏼

I applied for my LB on the 8th October. New claim they received the letter, I got there standard text, just wondering if anyone in here has heard anything back for October? I've rang them and the lady on the phone wouldn't tell me anything :(

I got awarded for SD 24.08 just yesterday so I feel like you have around 5/6weeks yet x

Hope soo it's sending my anxiety through the roof for my little boy.

Good luck to anyone calling today, really hope your little ones get their awards 🤞🤞 SD 17/8 still no update or news. Think with his age and lack of contact we are looking at a decline but we will see.
