Dla wait time part 2 2022

[Ltb17]

Set new one up as old thread ended @April202 @Nicky80catri @Leaf1216 can't remember any other names

Is that because you don't claim child benefit, @Hopeful110? I made DH ring for our CHB number to stick on the form, even though it's not compulsory!

@NoWordForFluffy yeah that's it, although to be honest I think they should ask for birth cert when you send your claim off so if you get awarded it then they have it ready to go,
If it isn't compulsory for the forms then why the big hoo ha about it from their end? Lol

Does anyone know if DMs work on a weekend? Not sure if it's worth ringing again this morning

We got decision and awarded on Thursday just past, they made payment from 6th April-21st June (will be in account tomorrow) but award starts from 1st April, does anyone know why that would be that they didn’t pay from 1st-5th April?

I’ve called numerous times and my scan date was always the 7th April (the date they received my claim) I’ve called this morning and they are now saying the date they go from is the 15th which is the date I was sent a letter stating the claim had been received on the 7th?? Which now puts me 8 days behind my original date. Can anyone shed any light on which date I’m actually going by because I’m now really confused and even more frustrated at the wait 🙈

Hi all, I put in an MR after my son’s COC got denied for HRM. I sent in a statement from his Paediatrician, The Learning Disability Team & CAMHS. They received this last Wednesday. Has anyone done an MR after a COC?

Great news for my son. He was awarded middle rate care on 18th June no mobility. Scan date 6th April. Money will be in the bank tomorrow. I am on old style tax credits, does anyone know if I can get disability element for him? I already have a child getting DLA so unsure if I can get it for both. Thanks.

@gemma1988 yes you will get the element just give them a ring, tell them what rate and hopefully they will backdate to beginning of claim x

I’ve just rang said it’s with case manger is that a dm? I’m 6th april

New here so Hi…. But I sent mine off March and they received it 5 April. Called last Tuesday and got the standard “we’re still working on claims from 4th April this week, call back on Monday if you haven’t received a text”

called this morning and been told to r same thing “we’re working on claims from 4th April this week so call back next week”

🤦🏼‍♀️

Good news been awarded

Brilliant news @April202 and @gemma1988 !

Still twiddling my thumbs!
Giving them a ring on Friday as they said my claim should be handled this week as they were working on renewals for 8th July last week so mine should be in this weeks pile!

Amazing news @April202 🥳 what was your scan date again?

Great news @April202 and @gemma1988 ! My scan date is 7th April, still waiting. Those of you who've been awarded, did you get a text or call up? I'll probably ring again Friday if still not heard anything

No text just rang this morning and told money will be in bank tomorrow so no text.

Received my letter today dated 14th June saying they’re sorry it’s taking Iong. Wasn’t expecting this letter yet as my scan date wasn’t till 27th April. Still a long wait for me

How long after any of you received the sorry you haven't heard from us yet letter did you receive notification award been accepted or declined??

@Amberb83 @Memum22 I rang last Thursday and had just been awarded that morning. Received letter on Saturday to say it had been awarded and then today I received a letter that was sent on the 13th saying sorry no decision yet. So I’d just keep ringing daily. DM rang on Monday looking for a report so I knew they had it and rang Monday afternoon tues wed & thurs lol

@Boymama831 when was your scan date? I haven’t called them as of yet

I rang today they made decison on 16 June no text

4 th april

@Memum22 My scan date was 3rd may, but I’m in NI so the wait may not be as long. I would still just give them a call what’s worst thing they can say

@gemma1988 so happy you got the award for you're little one!
We sent off our MR last week, hoping it actually goes to someone who takes notice in our claim. I remember you saying our situation with our children is very similar, you got awarded and we got declined, honestly doesn't make sense! But so glad the stress is over for you 🥰

@Boymama831 Thank you for this hoping not too long my scan date was 27th April.... been told today our camhs/EWMHS urgent referal is still in triage queue and can take up to 20weeks!!!!!!! Can't imagine the queue time if your apparently not urgent!

@Amberb83 I know that feeling applied for an EHCP last month and that takes 20 weeks too 😬

Currently on the 5 week wait for dla decision.
