@Ltb17 I know that's what I thought. I bet they have refused us. I am terrified to call now. I am out atm will call when I get home xxx

Iv been following this thread for months now. I sent my form on 28th February. I got told today on the phone it was with a case manager ready for decision then I was on the web chat at same time and got told a decision has been made. Don’t no why they never just told me on the phone probably going to be a no so will just have to wait on letter. Well done to everyone been awarded

Indr · 08/06/2022 15:44

@Willowoo fid you not ask what the decision was?

Willowoo · 08/06/2022 15:46

No it was when I came off the phone the advisor sent me a message back on the web chat saying there is been a decision made. It takes so long to get through to them Il just wait for the letter I have a feeling it’s a no.

Ltb17 · 08/06/2022 15:46

@Nicky80catri fingers crossed, keep us updated.

@Willowoo are you Scotland by any chance? They aren't allowed to tell you outcome over the phone I don't think.

@Ltb17 yeah I’m in Scotland. Aww I never knew they weren’t allowed to tell u over the phone this is my first time doing it for my daughter. Iv been checking the bank everyday so thought today I’d just call.

Ltb17 · 08/06/2022 15:51

@Willowoo it's a ridiculous rule and I believe it's only a recent one since they done the change over. Sadly they make you wait for a letter or seeing money in your account. Don't see how it affects them by telling you to be honest.

@Ltb17 oh really that’s so strange why they do it like that. Awk well Il just need to wait and see. How long does it usually take if u have been awarded to receive payment? This was a long 14 weeks of waiting just can’t wait till
I know the outcome x

Polly421 · 08/06/2022 16:40

@Willowoo if it’s the child disability payment in scotland you’ve been awarded, I got my sons payment 3 days after decision and then letter some point the following week.

Willowoo · 08/06/2022 16:45

@Polly421 aww Okai that’s fine then suppose I’ll just need to wait and see and hope for the best. Thank you x

Nicky80catri · 08/06/2022 16:51

@Ltb17 they turned us down xx

Polly421 · 08/06/2022 16:52

@Willowoo all they told me over webchat was decision was made and date I would get backdated payment nothing else. Once I got the payment I worked out really what the award before the letter came.

Indr · 08/06/2022 16:56

Sorry to hear this all this waiting etc I am worried now as my claim 15th March and not heard anything.. have you asked for the reasons why? What evidence did you send if you don’t mind me asking

Indr · 08/06/2022 16:56

@Nicky80catri

Willowoo · 08/06/2022 16:57

@Polly421 That’s good they told u. They just said to me the can’t tell me the decision on the web chat or over the phone. Suppose not much longer now till I know.x

Kelsmaizey · 08/06/2022 16:57

That’s awful you’ve been turnt down! So I suppose if you get a text to say they’ve made a decision then it’s bad news. So sorry to hear this 🙁xx

Ltb17 · 08/06/2022 16:57

@Nicky80catri oh my goodness I'm so sorry to hear that. Your claim was so similar to my sons claim. Will you be appealing it?

OP posts:
Sodie · 08/06/2022 17:04

@Nicky80catri I'm so sorry, but definitely appeal.

Kayla77 · 08/06/2022 17:12

Hi, Can anyone please tell me the correct DLA telephone number to call for an update on my sons new claim please? I'm in England but ive been given several different numbers and tried calling today but haven't really got anywhere so I'll leave it now and try again tomorrow. Thanks so much.

Twinmummyanda6yearold · 08/06/2022 17:25
