[Robyn81]

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

@Kmcx93 i have called twice, Friday past being the last and they said it’s with a decision maker have a fear to ring this week now for am just waiting to be turned down for mobility

Hiya, I received a text yesterday saying 'we are still looking at your DLA1 claim...' its been 15 weeks, how long after this text did everyone get a decision please?

Hi my scan date was 26th January and received a payment into my account this morning but not sure of award etc

Hi try and divide your payment by 12/13 and this might give you a clearer idea xx

My scan date was 29/01 and got 2 letters saying ira been looked at and still heard nothing

Hi all I got my decision back I've been accepted for low mobility and no care component scan date 13.01.2024
I am putting a MR in for the care part as I feel my child needs extra help and support he is awake all hours even when he is on sleepers and adhd medication lucky if get 4 hours a night he is very hyper and has frequent meltdowns what can last up to hour or two he hits out all the time he actually kicks and punches my 3 year old I constantly have to break up fights replacing televisions his ipad everything he is 10 years old can't read or write has some speech delay list goes on would they stop the low mobility if I put in for MR for care
Thank you in advance

My documents were scanned at 29th Dec. Just spoke with DLA and renewal claim is still in process. They don't know how long it will take.

Hi,
Was he diagnosed with Autism or similar? If Yes, was the report sent to them?
Our son was diagnosed with ASC (DSM - 5) - our scan data was 15 of Feb, Got two letters that it will take around 15 weeks.

My scan dates 24.01 so fingers crossed it's getting closer 🤞 I called yesterday it's not been looked at as of yet

Hi yes All evidence sent he has got adhd but we are waiting for autism appointment for his self hopefully MR works just waiting for letter to arrive x

Yours is the same as mine I got text yesterday staying there still looking in to it it’s been 15 weeks

Scan date 04/01

D.M 15/04

Awarded MRC and LRM on 01/05

Good luck guys 🤞🏻

I have a friend who also applied for Disability Living Allowance for their child, and they received their response exactly in the 15th week.
As for our situation, we had our scan in mid-February, so hopefully, we will hear something soon. 🤞

Hey,
if my child gets a diagnosis whilst waiting for his DLA decision do I have to call to update? Will the claim have to start all over again?

I rang today and the phone line has now changed too only stay on the line if your 20 weeks passed scan date lol

I rang up yesterday my scan date is 09/02 & the guy said I should hear back by the 17th of this month if I haven’t heard anything by 21st then ring up for an update so fingers crossed I do hear back cos last time I rang they told me 28th June 🥴

Scan date 18 Jan 24 got letter saying 15 weeks but text Monday staying still looking in to it.
dm since march 6
the lady told me 6 June as it’s taking up to 20 weeks Iv given in now just sit back and wait 😂

Hi mine was just short of 2 weeks later

Hi,
You will need to send them asap the report diagnosis. After a week or two call to confirm.
We had to do the same.

Thank you. I doubt his ASD assessment will be done before DLA but his camhs report should be done next week or 2 so will know what the outcome is hopefully. Thank you again.

If you have extra evidence to support your claim then definitely send it in so it can all be looked at x

Hi everyone my scan date 18 Jan Iv called today for update they told me on the phone decision as been made but wouldn’t tell me they said letter was sent on 7 may and to wait 10 days for the letter anyone else had this

@Starlight0212 some can't tell you you have got to ask to transfer to someone who can that's what I did and told me over the phone

mine took 23 days to be scanned back in January

Hi
Forms scanned 1-29 got messages on Thursdays that they are still looking .
Someone already has a decision from a similar date to mine? So nervous to be honest x😫
