Received letter this morning explaining everything and backdated it from the 9th March until the 7th June. We’ve been awarded middle rate care and lower rate mobility, very pleased 😊

Has anyone heard back from the end of March? Been about 11 weeks and not heard anything. Had some more evidence to send a couple weeks ago. But this waiting is starting to stress me out 😫especially with summer approaching and him not being able to go to nursery

i applied for DLA for my 14 year old daughter in March ( scanned 21st March) she has mental health issues, lots going on , I phoned Monday to be told they needed more information 😳😳have sent doctors , camhs letters , hospital letters etc I’m fed up I really need this help as off work as my daughter can’t be left alone and is only able to do 3 days at school it’s so frustrating

1977s · 16/06/2022 14:34

Does anyone know how long it will take now that I’ve sent more information off for them to make a decision

Leanne12321 · 16/06/2022 20:41

I don't sorry but sounds like your daughter really needs this.Its not fair sometimes.I got a feeling they will refuse me and want more evidence.I should have sent more off really tbh

1977s · 17/06/2022 08:47

Leanne12321 I hope you hear something soon , I’m going to phone this morning to see if they’ve received my evidence and to see how long it’s going to be , on Monday it will be 13 weeks , reading though these comments I feel DLA are all over the place

1977s · 17/06/2022 10:29

Just got though to DLA only took 50 minutes the lady was very nice , just waiting for my documents I sent to be uploaded on system for dm to look at so told me to ring back next week again , hopefully they will look at it over the weekend

Sullivan281 · 18/06/2022 03:13

Hi my forms was received on 4th April & I rang today to be told they have been with a decision maker for 1 week & to ring back in 2 weeks as they need to contact school,doctors etc but when I rang on Tues I was told a decision should be made today & I would get a text but still waiting,I wouldn’t mind but I’ve sent them so much info it’s unreal,the waiting time is a joke! Keep all posted

Leanne12321 · 18/06/2022 08:00

Hi all, my DD’s forms were scanned on april 13th 2022! such a nervous wreck awaiting the outcome!! she has a dietician, paediatrician and physiotherapist but im almost certain they will turn us down as she’s not 3 until august! I phoned for an update last week and was told to wait 2 more weeks atleast for an update 😞
