New DLA wait times 2022

[Momof2soonmomto3]

Iv made this new one as the thread I was following along with others has now been closed mine was scanned on the 18th Feb and still awaiting decision, I'm currently been waiting 40 mins on phone to DLA trying to get a update

How long did people have to wait for a decision once it was with the decision maker?

Currently on hold to DLA! Week 9 now, hope they have an update for me 😭😭😞😞 my anxiety can't take no more. Xx

Just got off the phone. They are currently working on claims upto 21st February. My scan date was 22nd February 🤦🏻‍♀️ so mines still in the holding queue. been advised to call again on Friday. Xx

@Lisamarie90 how long were you on hold for? Dunno if I can bring myself to call and wait but I'm at almost 19 weeks of waiting for a decision now. Hopefully you have yours soon

Hi I’ve been following this trend for a while mine was scanned 28th feb any one with the same date been awarded ?

@Ltb17 I called just after 9am and was on hold for about 20mins. Wow that's a long time. Is that a change of circumstances or new claim. Mines a new claim. X

Thank you. Yeah it's a change of circumstances, you'd think they would be quicker as they already have all their details lol

i am so so happy we’ve been awarded HRC I’m over the moon! I called this morning as was with DM last week and haven’t heard anything and they told me over the phone, I’ve made a COC on UC can I apply for carers allowance also? Is the process long?

good luck everyone else applying xx

@Marzal congrats, you can apply for caters allowance online, it's quick and easy, my claim for caters took 8 weeks but they will backdate it for you.

@Marzal congratulations. When did you first apply if you don't mind me asking x

@Nicky80catri thank you! I first applied beginning of feb scan date was the 15th of feb DM called me last Tuesday to ask about school needs and decision was made that day xx

@Marzal brilliant thanks mine should be done soon then. Xxx

@Marzal absolutely brilliant news! So happy for you. Yes claim carers and update UC too. Hopefully I'll have my answer next week too 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I'm 28th Feb and still waiting

@Ltb17 yes I just don't understand why COC takes so long. They litterally have all your details etc already. Let me know how you get on it you call up. @Momof2soonmomto3 have you heard anything yet x

Were with the decision maker

I rang Friday and j got told change of circumstances is 16/18 week wait! X

@Lisamarie90 yes I had my text yesterday saying he qualifys sorry I didn't give a update sooner I'm just going to ring them now and find out details :) will let you know

@Lisamarie90 sorry Saturday losing track of days x

@Momof2soonmomto3 that's Brilliant news!! So pleased for you. One less stress now. Yes let me know what they awarded you! I'm so anxious. I'm so close now but still feel so far, it that makes sense. 😞😞 x

@Marzal Great news x

@Lisamarie90 what was the date of yours again? I got through he's been awarded mrc I thought he would be eligible for hrc and so did doctors etc... So I'm in two minds if I should appeal or not but just happy the wait is over to be honest

@Momof2soonmomto3 Great news.
My Son's DLA forms were scanned on 17th February.
I've called them today to check progress. I've been told my decision is imminent. Forms are at the top of the decision maker's pile.
Eekk!

@Momof4boyos brilliant:)

@Momof2soonmomto3 aahhh bless you I bet its a relief the wait is over! My scan date was 22nd February. Xx
