Dla wait time part 2 2022

[Ltb17]

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

@NovaaStormx no neither am I to be honest, would rather just know so I can decide wether to mr or not

On the phone to them again x

@Nicky80catri good luck!

@Ltb17 still no decision lol fgs xxx

How many days did people wait for payment after a text? Thought 3 days from Monday might have cleared today by bacs

@Ltb17 no we didn’t challenge, we we’re given a blue badge by the council and a wheelchair and buggy so were content with at the time as I had a decent car didn’t think it was worth fighting for the sake of an extra £80 a week.

Same here I rang this morning aswell. Sorry for adding I’m new here and been keeping up with this thread

My receipt date was 18 may and I’ve already had award it seems to random, this was a renewal though

So has anyone had a decision made for their claim scanned 23rd march yet?? The woman last week implied it would be with DM by today :/

@Hopeful110 mine was scanned march 23rd too. I’m just on the phone waiting so will let you know!

Scanned 23rd march. Been allocated to be look at on ‘overtime’ at the weekend. Decision should be made by early next week.

@Sarah3587 I wonder why mine isn't in the overtime pile. Was scanned 9th March and I was just told I should have a decision in 10 days time. Weird.

@StormySam perhaps they’re awaiting replies from school, doctors etc.

Renewals do tend to be much quicker, from what I've seen.

I rang today for give my new bank details. I was told it's about a 9 week wait to go to DM by the lovely lady I spoke to.

Wow that’s so quick! Do you mind me asking when the actual renewal was meant to be please? Just sent mine but renewal isn’t until Aug

My scan date 15th March rang yesterday and with DM sed should have know by monday

@Sarah3587 ahhh thanks! Hopefully we will both have a decision by early next week then! I'll call them on Monday to find out if any update! :)

It was may, so I was right on the renewal left it very late and was fully expecting to have to go without for several months and then get a back payment

This fits with renewals being looked at in relation to when the claim runs out rather than the date the form is returned. I returned DS3’s fairly quickly, good to get it out of the way in one sense but means a long wait.

@Sarah3587 ahh I see, I was just curious if you challenged it and they still declined you as from what you've said I'm surprised you were not awarded it. I am fathomed by the way they award people I really am. Are you going to try for it or will you just wait for renewal?

@Nicky80catri hopefully you'll get a text in the next few days, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you

@Ltb17 hopefully hun yeah all this waiting is driving me mad x

new here, my daughters was scanned 18th of March and still no news, called Monday to be told it’s with a DM.

Hi! Where are they saying they're up to now (with scan dates) I haven't rang yet but I'm on week 10 (31st March) xx

@Ilovetea13 your 9 weeks at the moment, it's counted from the day it's scanned. I'm 23rd march, called yesterday was told I'm at 10 weeks and looking at another 2. Mines in overtime pile whatever that meant lol

Hi can I join? My scan date was also 23rd March. New claim for my 11yr old daughter. It's a long story, she caught covid in September and it caused a neurological reaction, she couldn't walk or eat and ended up in intensive care. Then she suffered psychosis and went into a deep coma like sleep for 6 weeks. She finally woke up just before christmas. But she is only awake 6 hours a day, can only walk about 10 steps. Can't do anything for herself and uses a wheelchair fulltime. She has ptsd and is waiting a stepping stones tutor with a view to going to a specialist school for children with mental health and medical needs. But her ot has said she is not ready for that. She can't even brush her own hair. We are waiting to move into a bungalow because her bed is in the living room and I sleep downstairs with her. She's been diagnosed with ME. Hoping we get mobility.

I last rang Wednesday last week and was told to ring in back in two weeks.
