DLA Mandatory Reconsideration

[Hm2018xox]

Original Claim recieved by DLA on 6thJune23
Rejected 29thSeptember23
Sent off for mandatory reconsideration straight away and it was recieved by DLA on 23rdOctober23.

I rang this morning for an update as it has been with a decision maker since 6thNov so nearly 2 weeks and still no decision!
Has anyone around the same time frame as me heard back recently for mandatory reconsideration ? If so has anyone been successful and how long did you wait to hear about a decision ?
I have heard mandatory reconsiderations are more no’s than yes’s!
thanks x

Iv just called them in 8 weeks today, still in the cue was told she will mark it as urgent, I don’t actually know what that means does anyone else? I didn’t know it was something they could do

Mr16/2 11 weeks exactly tmo
anyone heard anything yet ?
this wait is dreadful worse than the first time in total been waiting about 35 weeks 😢 is draining the life out of me now fingers crossed its not another tribunal appeal cause that's about a year wait to

anyone know how long tribunal appeals are taking at the moment ? 😩 been waiting over 5 months so far for tribunal hearing & still no date 😩. It’ll be a year next month since I originally applied for DLA for my little boy xx

I got a decision a few weeks back now at 9 week exactly. No idea why they are all taking so long has anyone else Hurd back from them ?

Hi can anyone help me please I have put in a MR for my son scan date 23/05/24 original date 23/11/2023 it has been 18 weeks up to now for a decision rang up today to be told it can take up to 25 weeks has anyone else waited this long for a MR said it’s not even in the que to get looked at yet 48 weeks in total and still telling me to wait another 10 weeks

Yep same as mine Iv been 37 week in total 21 weeks mr I was hoping for some one to tell me if they even started on may yet

Hi does anyone know if a MR on a renewal takes as long ? My son has been on hrc and lrm for 5 years now we just received his renewal as the same and previous but I feel as he's got older his needs would qualify for hrm too I sent off a MR letter to say this and all the explanation of why I feel this , but looking at these threads there is a much longer waiting time than I've heard before , so I'm wondering if this is the wait for all claims or new claims or just a big massive pile 🤣

@Abwill hiya MR takes ages think I waited nearly 20 weeks I did a coc to add mobility to 1 of my sons claim n it took 20 weeks and got awarded HRM until he's 16 so 2038 but original award was only for 2 years so is defo worth doing a coc just for the length of award changing but as it stands u think coc or Mr or new claim or renewal all taking about 20 to 25 weeks cause there is so much backlog x

@Sarahdestinyhankyou for replying , oh my goodness and they had the cheek to say to a lady in the similar position to me on here 3-5 weeks yesterday! Gosh they do like to stretch the truth on time scales , I'm apprehensive with how the award can change however I'm hoping it's pretty straightforward that it's evident his care is hrc I just want the mobility part looking at again. I just feel he meets requirements for the higher rate mobility and I will ask them to look again if it makes my son's life that but easier. I just hope it's all straight forward x
