Hi all - is the DM the final stage (as in when waiting in a queue for a DM…..)

I’ve just rang and asked if mine was with a DM as I have more evidence, STILL sat with case workers, he’s going to chase it up when he finishes on the phones at 5pm as the ones he is working on are dated 12th October?!?!

so I could have around a six week wait still 🫠🫠🫠

Yes, your right x

Thank you so much @Snoopymadmof5 🫶

Renewal - end date 5th November

SD - 28/07

decision made 20/08

same award - awarded until 2031 -HRC LRM

Typo - Decision made 20/10

Congrats all being awarded! Fingers crossed to all waiting xx

Im waiting on renewal 19th Jan feels like time away yet SD was the 29th September

SD 10/8
awarded LRC and LRM today.

Congratulations when was your submission date? Xx

The wait is unbearable SD 24/08, and my sons renewal is due feb27 😩

I really want to call, but I feel like they are just not gonna tell me anything yet. My SD is 13/08 for NC. Do I just take my chances tomorrow???

I called 15th and they said was still going to be weeks yet and im SD 24/08 so you should be soon hopefully

Fingers crossed the wait and the not knowing is horrible. I applied for a bus pass for my son and they told me no, despite the fact hes in a wheelchair! And can't walk for more than a minute before experiencing pain of some sort!!!

It’s such a horrible long wait, a constant fight to just get the help our kids need :( I cant even start my sons renewal for February until I hear back about my daughters because just too much in the brain lol

It really is! Its so hard😔 i hope you hear soon! Keep us posted! Xxx

Hi Ladies Please help! If anybody could give me advice that would be great. I’m currently filling out my son’s dla renewal. Well I’ve been doing it over a few days. However I’m getting really anxious and upset over it. The question where it asks you has there been any change in their health condition I have put yes and written extra info on a separate piece of paper. But I feel I be not give enough information. I’m just worried about it all not being in order. So anything I feel I’ve missed can I do at the end? For example, I was going to do a summary of all his needs at the end of the form in a serrated piece of paper. Will they accept this?

Update received back pay today of 1490 new claim scan date 3rd August they asked for medical evidence which they got on Tuesday so was pretty fast does anyone know what rate that is

My scan date is 18th August. They told me it’s around 12 weeks for a decision and I have seen on Facebook a lot of people being awarded around 11-12 weeks

Ooo may be next week for me then xx

My scan date is 18th too and based on what I’ve read and the conversation I had on the phone with DLA on Wednesday, I’m hoping for a decision by the end of the month! Fingers crossed!
