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).

Can you just explain your reply a little bit more? I don’t quite understand what you mean? Also did you get asked to provide a birth certificate during the whole process? I just have a feeling they are going to ask for one.

Most people say the money reaches their accounts before any letters hun. I'm 16 weeks this Friday and I know some people with similar dates are still waiting ☹️ getting unbearable now and I am definitely feeling emotional today about it all. my little boy has a lot of breakdowns he struggles so much regulating his emotions even if something is too loud if he doesn't have ear defenders on it will cause him to lose all control, due to this he's in desperate need of a new bed and things fixing and repaired in his bedroom it's so hard not being able to afford it yet and relying on if and when you'll get some help😞 I hope we all hear some answers soon because this is physically taking a toll on me I think.

Sarahoscar · 22/07/2024 16:18

Squishmallow01 · 22/07/2024 16:46

Those who have been awarded DLA, do you ALWAYS get two letters before a decision? I’m 15 weeks now and only received one letter ages ago xx

Sarahoscar · 22/07/2024 20:29

Hi does any one know how lomg change of cercimstances are takimg currently please ??

I’m on week 22 for COC!!

7 weeks ago I was told it was with a case worker when I called. 3 weeks after that I called again and was told it should be with a case worker soon! The first person was clearly fobbing me off.

I will call again today or tomorrow for an update.

Jm33 · 23/07/2024 09:47

For my initial claim I received 2 letters and the payment was in my bank a few days after I got the award letter. This time I’m waiting for renewal and have only received one back in April.
