DLA waiting times 2022

[NRRK28]

Hi All,

I have ASD 2 years old boy and i sent DLA form for him in 7 dec 2021. But I haven’t received any news yet. How long is usually you get awarded?

The thing is i want to put my son in 2 years old nursery but i’m not eligible for 2 years old funding. I found the nursery that i like and my son can start there after easter but they want funding from the government.

There are another way to get funded by government is via DLA. I need to get the DLA first then i can apply for funding 2 years old in nursery. Do you know how is the process for apply funding 2 years old through DLA route??

Thank you

Is this new claim or change of circumstances? I done change of circumstances they received my form 29th October, I received back payment Monday gone haven’t had any letters or text mine took 19 weeks + 3 days x

Wow that is a really long time they received mine on 1st feb and they told me another 4-5 weeks and another told me second week in April

Is it a first time claim? Cause I called and they said they are working on up 11th of January.

Mines a new claim yes but I have just rang and he said iv got abit to wait and I’m looking at end of April and if iv not heard ring them then

I just been awarded for my son Mu forms was scanned on the 4 of January hope you guys hear soon

Did u receive a message to co firm this please or contact them to find out?

@hams12459 I rang them this morning and the lady told me over the phone

Thank you for getting back to me I will call them tomorrow my claim was scanned same time as yours so I will call see if they have an update for me

I’ve been following this thread as I have been waiting for my sons DLA to be awarded, I sent in 16th December and it was received on 23rd. Haven’t had a text or a letter to confirm but I received payment today (I rang last week for an update and it wasn’t even with the decision maker then).
Hope this helps people who are waiting, the wait is painful!!

My fingers are crossed for you hope it’s good news x

Mine was scanned 5th of January had a txt today stating he has been awarded.

Mine was scanned 7th January... still nothing. Hope it is soon. You're right @biding1 the wait is painful :(

We are currently doing a change of circumstances as our daughter was awarded mrc when she was 2, now 5. We sent ours off on the 15th October, received 22nd October, and we are still waiting. Apparently its been with the decision makers since 7th March. Surely it shouldn't take this long? Hoping to have a decision by the end of the week!

It should be this week for you now, they also backdate from the day they send the form which I didn't know about.

I hope everyone still waiting gets good news today, the wait is horrible x

I've woke up to a payment in my bank this morning. I've not received any communication from them at all. Form was received by them on 7th Jan.

I'm going to have to call them today and see what's been awarded as the payment received works out to be exactly 13 weeks (backdated to day of calling for forms) of MRC yet no mobility, when the reason for her care needs is due to her mobility issues caused from illness so a bit baffled by that

My form was received on the 10th January so I should hear by the end of the week

@Toritot1984 me to was told yesterday should be by end of the week I will hear.

Hams12459 how old is DD?

She's 10 in June, I'm on hold to them now. I'm very greatful for being accepted for middle rate care but her care is due to the mobility limiting her so I'm confused 😕

Hams I wondered if it was because DD was young, but that’s not the case. When you ask for a mandatory reconsideration have a look at the Cerebra guide if you didn’t use it when completing the forms.

@Toritot1984 @Mum2gbg
These dates are confusing aren't they. Mine was received 7th Jan and when I rang on Monday the lady said the end of the month. :(

@Tinkerbellone they are yesterday I was told I should know by end of the week and was with decision maker but the more I read on this thread I'm not so sure

I just called them and been told that my letter with further information was scanned already. So currently it takes 7-8days for new letters to be scanned.
