DLA wait times 27 2024

[Robyn81]

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

If you phone up and explain your finances they might be able to do something if not you have a long wait as its about 16-20 week wait

26 weeks in total with Mr 😂long wait

I'm 23 weeks so not far behind you

You waiting Mr too hun 🫣feels so long

They have put it down as COC but end of May I got HRC no mobility so fighting for that for my nearly 3 year old, I thought it was going down as MR but in fact it went down as COC 7/06, original scan date is 5/02 and got awarded 22/05, have you heard about anything yet with yours

18 Jan new claim Mr 15 may just waiting now I don’t mind long wait now as Iv given in but think all people have to wait I remember my dad pip year and half they refused him on heart failure was given year but he was back paid and it made him happy over 25 thousand pounds 😂 but the fight for it was long court was scary as I had to do it all seeing my dad cry for the 1st time he had work all his life but he didn’t give me coffee after 😂😂he ended up at his caravan for the time he had left he made sure he spent it 🫣

Awww bless him, it's horrible knowing what your entitled to but gotta fight but the relief is amazing in the end, what you hoping fir on your MR

Hi is anyone waiting for MR with a SD around 28/03?

How common is it for high rate Mobility to be awarded to autistic children? Thanks xx

From 4 to 15??? That’s ridiculous . I’m sure they do most of these time frames to try and stop us from calling x

This time im not ringing up I wait it out so hopefully 30 augs will take it 32 weeks altogether 16weeks mr then if to court your looking year after 🤦‍♀️ I know someone waiting year and 2 month still nothing 😱

How old is your little one, I never got awarded it so COC going for it again. It's ment to be so hard under SMI rule, I have sent in a load of evidence to get HRM but will go tribunal if I need to

He’s 4, so impulsive, no danger awareness, I have to hold onto him everywhere we go, if he runs me and my daughter have to
run after him which is obviously dangerous as she’s only little too, I’ve heard it’s very unusual to be awarded high rate mobility for autism even though as his mum I know how bloody hard going even out the front door is, so I was just wondering how others have got on with that side of the claim xx

hi ive called up today and thay said thay can see case worker name on it now so been opened how much longer do u think now it would be for her im fed up ov calling them but i. just wont to know

I know it's hard but not impossible, as I know a few people that have it under the same reasons but I will see if I can get it I have a lot of backing up evidence to claim HRM but depends I guess on what they actually looking for even though I have all the criteria for it, are you gonna try and claim it?

It all depends as they will get a pile and how far down the pile you are, if they have enough to make a decision or if they need more evidence, when I was with a decision maker it was awarded the following day, some can be hours, some can be days then worse can be weeks and will wait for school or Dr's to get in contact so all depends that's why they say 16 - 20 weeks

thank u for ur reply it really does help me

Hello everyone,
Scan date was 18/03/2024 and received the payment in my account today.
It took 17 weeks for me.

Is that for a new claim or mr ? X

New claim.

New claim

Congratulations! My scan date is 5th April which is 2 weeks after hours so seeing this has given me a little bit of hope! Did you ring atall during the process just to see if you could find out what was going on? On 15 weeks this weeks and the silence is becoming unbearable and with my little boy and his breakdowns I need to repair holes in walls and replace/repair beds and other furniture in his room and being a single parent with no other adult support I’m so beyond just ‘getting by’. Congratulations again for being awarded I can only imagine you were feeling the same until now too.

Thank you. I can understand your situation.
I did rang them soon after 15 weeks and i was told to wait till 20 weeks. But i knew that i will be paid today (on this DLA pay date) because I think they are paying in the up coming Pay date, soon after the 15 weeks have passed and mine was today (at 17th week).

In case anyone is waiting on MR - my scan date was 28/03 and decision was made on 12/06. Award went from absolutely nothing to HRC so hopefully gives some hope to anyone going through the same!

So your mr was 10 weeks ? That fast mine gone from 4 weeks to 15 weeks on mr 😂
