DLA waiting times 2022

NRRK28 · 20/01/2022 22:41

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

J84b04j23 · 27/02/2022 12:17

Did you receive a letter @Amyxkx about the extension? I will let you know when I ring , I can see them saying wait another few days or something 🙈😂

LizzieLoulabell · 27/02/2022 18:28

I had a text Saturday saying son qualifies and to wait for a letter in post. We were stamped 10th December

cwjwcw · 28/02/2022 11:02

Was awarded MRC, I called today the decision was made last Thursday, exactly 11 weeks.

Amyxkx · 28/02/2022 11:46

I received her annual statement which she gets each year and noticed it said awarded until 2028. Xx

Meganos · 28/02/2022 12:54

My form was received on 10th December so its been 11weeks and 3 days now. Still not heard back anything

cwjwcw · 28/02/2022 13:08

Mine was 9th, you should give them a call.

MummyOfBoys2022 · 28/02/2022 13:13

I was told last week mine is down to be done over the weekend by case manager and to call back today for the decision I called back today and they said it's not been done and they said they don't think it will be done till end of the week maybe beginning of next

Meganos · 28/02/2022 13:40

I called them today and been told that I should get decision within this week.. But they told me the same last week... Confused

Blabbermouth93 · 28/02/2022 13:42

I'm the same sitting on 12 weeks was told it would be done last week phoned this week and still saying sitting with decision maker will be end of this week , getting infuriating now

BerylSilverstone · 28/02/2022 13:51

It’s so frustrating! Mine is jan 17th so got a long wait ahead! When I applied in 2019 and 2021 both turned around within 4 weeks! Pleased for everyone who has had good news.

MummyOfBoys2022 · 28/02/2022 14:00

It would be less frustrating if they all said the same thing but they don't

CoffeeFirstPlease · 28/02/2022 14:39

@MummyOfBoys2022

It would be less frustrating if they all said the same thing but they don't
This! I feel everyone is getting told different things depending who they spoke to. I'm only 10wks today so probably another 2wks for me
J84b04j23 · 28/02/2022 15:12

Mine was 22nd Oct for a change in circumstances and rang again today they working on 21st October, the exact same thing they told me last Monday 🙈🙄🤣

NRRK28 · 28/02/2022 15:40
