DLA wait times 27 2024

[Robyn81]

Just starting a new thread as the old one will run out soon

Daughters scan date 04/01/21

Reached d.m last Monday 15/04

Was told that it's still there and it's taking up till 20 weeks for a decision 🤞🏻 for an answer soon

Scan date 18/12/23 I called yesterday and the person on phone said no decision was made, but I couldnt really understand him so I called back today and a decision was made yesterday afternoon so exactly 18 weeks. I did not receive an award text and the DLA1 text message to say still looking at claim I got on 25th March. It is all over the place with decisions I was getting nervous as I have seen a lot from January getting awarded. So glad the wait is over

I called yesterday to make sure my forms had been received. They have and are on the system and in the decision makers queue, he advised me there is currently a backlog and decisions are taking roughly 15 weeks. Your pay won’t be back dated to when you requested paperwork if they didn’t not get returned In time by the date they gave you.
my sons school had his form to fill a part in for me and the teacher dealing with it was on leave longer than expected which delayed me getting to Citizen advice to complete the form. Mine arrived 7 days after the allocated time🤦🏻‍♀️ but was sent special delivery the day after I got my help to fill in. Sent 12/04 scan date 15/04 . Been asked not to ring back before the beginning of august.

does anyone know if my son is diagnosed or new meds in the meantime do I have to ring up and update his claim?

Does anyone know how long it takes for them to look at the mobility side of things, I sent the forms off at the beginning of the month. I did ask on the fb dla page but there as helpful as a wet paper bag and decline most posts

@Snoweymum do you mean a change of circumstances we are waiting since 2nd January for mobility to be looked at

Yes it was just the mobility side as he turned 5 last December, he already gets mrc, looks like I'm in for a long wait then. Thanks for the reply

@Snoweymum yes we are still waiting think we are on week 17 or 18 now I have lost count but it’s apparently with the decision maker

they received my form for my little boy 5/04 and I know I’m in for a long wait believe me but was just wondering if anyone has theirs around this time and we could kind of wait together?

Dla child scan date 18 jan 2024
Still waiting anyone near my date about 14 weeks now told 15 weeks

Hi everyone. My scan date is 20/02/24, however the school took some time to fill in the parts they needed to so I sent this information a few weeks after. Should I have received confirmation of dla receiving the extra information ? I received the initial confirmation letter after sending my application but nothing about the extra information I have sent. Not sure if they let you know they have received it or not so was just wondering if I should ring them to check?

I’ve got the same scan date as you I had to send off extra bits they didn’t tell me I had to ring to check they had received them

@Maydeanna94 Thanks for your reply. Ohh wow okay I will ring them on Monday then just to make sure

hi hope you all hear soon, I was refused back in Feb. I put in a MR and its now with the decision maker. The guy couldn't tell me how long its been with a decision maker but did say it should only be days now. Has anyone put one in lately or had a decision made. Im wondering how long it might be with a DM for

any help would be great

Hi all, I posted mine back in December, I hadn't heard a bean so I've called today they are saying my scan date was 24/01/2024 which is nearly a month after I posted it, strange how I hadn't heard anything though, has anyone around 24/01 heard anything yet please ? Or does anyone know what dates they are working on ATM please? My child already gets MR so this is too apply for mobility rate onto his existing claim ... Thanks for reading

I sent my COC on 15/04, received 16/04. I called today just to double it had all been sorted properly.
The call handler answered my call at 16:57 🤣after being on hold for 1hr 5 mins.
she told me the forms had been scanned same day as arrived(in a bit sceptical about this but we’ll see when letter comes)
I asked how long change of circumstances are taking and she said currently the same as new claims which is approx 15-17 weeks. But we all know this could be longer!

Hi mine was around 7 weeks ago but got a letter this morning to say they are taking 15 weeks

Is this for a new claim or change of circumstance? X

Hey! Keep us posted please, be interested to see timeframe for COC!

Hi no MR as was turned down

Still waiting on coc papers scanned 2/01/24

@Ciara86 are you going to call at some point or wait until your hear anything?

@Vonnie7474 ive seen in a different thread that MR’s are taking between 7-9 weeks. But who knows with DLA, atleast it’s a bit of an estimate for you 🤞🏼
