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

Does anyone know if a payment is made on the date the DLA expires? So if it expires on the 30th August , will I get the final payment on the 30th August, or was the payment 4 weeks previous to that the final payment?

So I should've received on the 31st August if the claim wasn't expired, but it expires on 30th August. Hope that makes sense!

@Daisydoo5 is yours with the decision maker then when I rang bfore the guy said it’s still in a que to be looked mine was recived day after your I’m guessing if mines not been looked at then it prob be a few weeks yet

@Mumof2girlys if I was you give them a quick call see if update if it’s 8 weeks tommrow

@Lhmym yea, the lady told me that its on the finally step which is with the decision maker depends how long they take now thou 🤔 hopefully yours isn't far behind mine 🤞 duno how im guna hear this week thou when we are on Thursday already and apparently they don't send texts lol xx

@Daisydoo5 that’s strange ain’t it when loads of people have recived text with decisions mixed messages all time ain’t it

Yeaa and I no drives you insane 🙄

The waiting a nightmare, I'm so impatient. X

@Daisydoo5 they do send texts I got mine Saturday and then payment Wednesday it's the letter I'm still waiting for haha

I've just phoned to be told its taking them 10 weeks to make a decision I'm on week 7 at the minute.

I think it depends where you live and which office you send it to I think they all have different waiting times

@Mummyto2boys22 Wolverhampton mines gone to I live in Manchester but other day Blackpool answerd phone

Ok

Ive just called then up after trying to get through to them for an hour and a half 🤦🏼‍♀️ And the woman said it’s still in the holding que! Will be 8 weeks next Thursday. How long have people had to wait for theirs to be finalised after it being in the air? X

Que not air x

@Lraf1234 we waited almost 18 weeks from the receiving form til decision made

And that’s 18 weeks with my phone call, no official text or decision letter through yet so if waiting on the letter to arrive that’ll be 19 weeks

@Lhmym I called about 3pm no decision yet will call again tomorrow so frustrating waiting x

I’m still waiting, will be 8 weeks on Monday. Spoke to a lady today and she said to call back on Monday if I don’t here anything I’m hoping I will hear soon. I sent a report from our family support work had to get them to attach it to claim as it hadn’t been scanned onto his claim yet even tho it was signed for on the 26th July so hopefully it has all be put together ready for the decision maker

Also I’m confused.. so you can only get mobility if they are over the age of 5? Or can they get mobility if they get high care rate and under 5? X

For the low rate mobility component they must be aged over five, and for the high rate mobility component they must be aged over three. Hope that helps

So I think if they are entitled to the higher rate they must be over the age of 3 but if they don't and they only qualify for the lower they have to be over five. Well that's how I understand it anyways

Thanks girls x

So my 8 weeks is up on Monday and I’ve had no letter to say they need more info is that a good sign? First time claim so I’m new to this

Im the same, all I have had is a letter to say they received it on the 28th June, nothing else. So I'm guessing it just waiting game. But I called today and it hasn't even gone to the decision maker yet. Ive been told to call back on Monday when it's been 8 weeks
