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

Same as me I applied on the 6th October scan date 23rd October most likely be sometime in January I'm guessing with a dession have you phoned up at all for any information.

What’s the age hun xx

So he is now 18 months but only 15 months when we did the forms which makes me worry so much about the comparing to kids his age as I know babies need extra care. He had a brain injury at birth so has delveopemnt delay in everything and it's not predicted to change anytime soon if it ever will, can't sit himself up, can't roll, stand, crawl, feed, isn't babbling etc. We have PT, OT, paediatric consultant, neuro consultant and NANSA and sent everything we could. We can't even leave him sitting to play for more then couple minutes as he falls over. It's heartbreaking as even to play if he holds a toy then minute he drops it he can't get to it and his little face is so sad.

Sorry for essay, just realised how much I typed haha. Xx

Same boat except mine is 11months turning 1 🫠. I honestly am not expecting anything but who knows I’ve spoken to many people who say they have children awarded the same ages. Im sorry for your situation and honestly sounds like he should get awarded. It also seems as though you can prove the comparison to a normal 18 month old. Let’s hope for the best xx

I’m the same scan date as you, is you’re claim with the decision maker? X

Update, scan date 26.8 just rang been awarded mrc & lrm, good luck to everyone and I hope use all get what your little ones deserve x

Bless you, it's so tough at that age, I feel even more for you with younger trying to get them what they deserve. I really hope you get awarded too lovely. Thank you so much for being so nice :) yes fingers crossed for the best for us all. Xxx

No clue, I would hope so but honestly who knows, last spoke to them last Friday and the women was very short and uninterested and told me it's in queue. It's been in queue since like mid October so who knows. No updates yet for you then? Xx

What’s your scan date 💗

Oh I feel like we are getting close now!! Congrats to you and your little one x

Mines been with decision maker since the 31st October rang yesterday and still no updates unfortunately not sure what’s going on x

Amazing ❤️

Congratulationsxxx

Thank you that wait was so stressful, good luck to you too x

Thank you, good luck too you x

No update here after calling, and still in queue for DM with scan date of 17/8 but to share an update for anyone with a under two child applying. Lady was absolutely lovely and noted for the DM to call me if they need to clarify anything or request anything instead of post but told me she could see I have sent alot of evidence already. She told me that for under two applications they tend to get sent to different decision makers then standard as they are usually more complex medically wise and need a different sign off hence the longer queue time. Don't know if it's true or just something they are saying to get people to stop calling but there you are.

That’s probably why people that sent it after you have already received it. Their children are probably older. Hopefully not long left now ! Good luck

I rang today scan date 18th September nc also have a renewal for same date, the lady on the phone said the nc hadn’t been registered and she was going to do that and send it to decision maker Que, will this add more waiting?

my SD is 16th September, it was in the Queue for DM when I called early this week, I’m seeing people get decisions now for end of Aug beginning of Sept, I’d like to think it will be placed in with the dates from around the same sort of time

I just thought I’d share that my little one has been awarded HRC and HRM. They wouldn’t tell me but someone from the payments team would! I’m so happy and glad the wait is over and I truly hope your waits are over soon and you all get what your little ones deserve 💖 thank you all for being my bit of sanity throughout the wait

So plessed - it’s such a weight off of mind xx 😘

Congratulations! What was your SD? X
