Waiting times for DLA for new claim 2021

[Sengland01]

Hi the DLA received my claim on the 1st April 21. Does anyone know the current waiting times. Thanks

Yes but you need to know the rate and the date they've awarded it from etc xx

Thank you, I managed to do it online xx

Hi just thought I would pop on and see if anyone has heard anything from there claim yet mine is 8weeks on friday.

Hi so my statement from UC came in today they've added my disability and carers element on but still no updates on the backdated payment has anyone experienced how long this takes it's been just over 4 weeks since I told them now just keep telling me it's with a decision maker

Called dla today I've been awarded high rate care and mobility to 2023 so happy the waits over xx

That’s great bet ur glad the wait is finally over it’s such a long wait with no info. Sorry hope u don’t mind but how long have u been waiting for I’m 8weeks this Friday x

@Ems1991 sorry forgot to tag u x

Hello, I sent my sons renewal off in may which they received on the 28th. He’s claim runs out on the 2nd. I called them today for an update and she told me it will hopefully be done the week it’s due to run out. Hopefully we are not waiting much longer x

I sent my claim on the 14th July so I was 9 weeks roughly @munmyof3boz @Princess23 you should definitely check mines was with the decision make on Friday afternoon xx

And thank you I've been awarded more than I thought didn't expect the mobility at i got it I have 3 daughters and I've felt a bit trapped as getting out is hard going all im so happy 😊 xxx

Its rather frustrating the wait when we have sent the forms off with plenty of time but its being left til the last minute hopefully we both hear soon so I've got around 3 weeks left

Hi mines 7 weeks this weeks ..I’ve not heard anything yet but going to ring up next week if I’ve not had a Tx or anything ..mine was scanned on system on the 29th july .new claim x

@twin93 I have seen on the conversation about renewals there some been done a week before it's due to run out I feel for use honestly xx@hanm123 it's taken from what I can see 8 to 9 weeks hopefully use will all hear soon the wait is awful xx

Yes .. @Twin93 thats what I thought ..they did say to me that I would be looking at the end of September and by the looks of it on here they’re really busy xx

@Ems1991 thanks for ur reply and yeah think and give it to mid week and then give them a ring.x

I just called once a week then after the 8 weeks I'm going to be honest I call nearly everyday 😂 I became really impatient and worried at that time but definitely paid off xx

@Ems1991🤣 I feel the same tbh and holding myself back in phoning incase I don’t like wot they have to say lol It’s all new to me and the forms itself were draining I would hate to have to go through it all again.. xx

I was the exact same but after 8 weeks give them a call as that's when your likely to get somewhere xx

@Ems1991, chuffed for u chick, that's great news. X

@edgirls thank you have you check yours you where the day before me ? Xx

They received mine on the 21st July so should hear back this week, couldn’t send much info due to not having any yet as waiting for appointments with paediatrician, CDC etc, his nursery SENCO filled in her bit and sent off his targets and plans.

So anxious with waiting. My DS constantly needs watching, suspected ASD, we even need locks over the cooker knobs as he tried to turn on the gas. Hope you all get the entitlement you deserve

Hiya I’m new here,

they received my claim on 23rd March aswell, I received a letter saying sorry for delay in decision and will deal with as soon as can but still haven’t heard anything. I rang up and said it could be another 2 to 3 weeks??
