DLA wait times 27 2024

[Robyn81]

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

Sorry I’m confused so what was the waiting time between being awarded and receiving back pay?
I was told over the phone yesterday what rate my son has been awarded, no waiting for a letter etc, but not sure when to expect the back pay to be received?

Hi there anyone waiting to hear about a child moving from dla to pip? I sent my older daughters off a few weeks ago and on Tuesday I had a phone call from someone who said that she won’t have to go for a medical and she was preparing a statement to send over with the form she was quite helpful but she did ask more questions about washing and getting dressed etc just wondering if anyone has had the same if so how long does it take for a decision

3-5 working days, I got awarded on a Wednesday and recieved it on a Tuesday due to a bank Holiday which was end of May and now I get paid every 4 weeks on a Tuesday, some banks show payments pending, mine don't though

@Mommy2boys30 thanks for your reply, yeah I guess if it’s paid every 4 weeks on a Tuesday it makes sense it’ll be in next Tuesday hopefully then.
Is anyone able to advise how successful MR’s usually are? Thanks xx

It depends what your sending off and who you get, what your trying to achieve, they classing mine as COC and not an MR to get mobility for my son, be prepared it's another 15+ weeks for MR's

Thanks, my son was awarded MRC but it’s clearly documented in his EHCP, various reports that he is up in the night and he gets up every day at 4am and because (as also documented) he needs constant supervision as he has zero danger awareness/is highly impulsive, I have to get up with him at 4am every day to supervise him. This obviously isn’t a normal time of day to get up (& is killing me) so I believe he should be HRC as he needs day and night time supervision. There’s so much about this in his supporting evidence so I feel like maybe the decision maker only skim read it 😭
so fed up of everything always being a constant fight and long wait 😭

ipdate on ur uc should take 2 4 weeks hun as i done mine 19 i was told yesterday what back pay im getting with me with my normal uc next week goodluck to you all i lt really does help putting smile on my childs face and just making her life and mine so much easier

Any one with an mr with an update ? X

I’ve update my uc I’m still waiting for them to verify it x how long take for yours to verify

Are you going to MR as your child deserves HRC, it is always a battle

@Mommy2boys30 yes I have requested MR as he definitely has night time care needs as well as daytime (my face has aged about 40yrs to show this!)
it’s so disheartening when at every point it’s a fight 😔

Hi how long does take for UC to update what you will be getting , there said waiting for it verified

Scan date the 16 /5 anyone herd back not sure we're there at at the moment

Rang yesterday for mr update and there working on scan date 17th April x

Mine was the 11 of April and I’ve not Hurd nothing they said we should hear by the 29th august

Hiya my daughter got diagnosed 8th of April with AdHd and put on the waiting list for asd. Now waiting for her to be medicated. I've rang for a dla for a form by the 16th of April then sent in the form by the 15th of May tomorrow will be 13 weeks since I've sent the dla form I'm really struggling with her now 😢 I just hope she's awarded soon by 28th August it'll be 15 weeks wish they could tell me more but seriously how long is it taking? And will it be backdated by dla and uc?

So you sent in your form by April and still waiting and only asked for the form 16th April or earlier and sent in on the 14th of may and the scanned it in on the system on the 15th of May so my daughters dla claim may take longer to be looked at I suppose

PLouise9 are you still waiting? I know we a day apart?

So if your forms got recieved and scanned on before the 6 weeks you will get backdated from the day you called for your forms, also UC will back date it when you make the change, but with UC there is no set time frame of how long you have to wait for it to be verified, some people say a week or 2 some are weeks till they receive it

Woke up with my backpay in my bank this morning! My daughter must of bene awarded either Monday or Tuesday because I rang up Friday an no decision had been made. 17 weeks. Scan date was 12/04. Good luck everyone. I have my finger crossed for you.

I woke up with a backpay this morning, I rang friday and was told no decision had been made so must of been made Monday or yesterday. Good luck girl Xoxox

Thanks hun I’m so happy for you hopefully I get some backdated in the next few days 🙈 last week they said any time up to the 29th starting to panic and think they may have refused us

🥂🥂🥂🥂 so happy for you

Try not to panic, I've heard of people getting the letter first, I've heard of banks taking a little longer to process than others too. Also some decision makers might have to make a few phone calls about your case so I wouldn't worry. Maybe give them a ring, they were so helpful with me on Friday, make sure you have all your details at hand because they as quite a few security questions. Have my fingers and toes crossed for you hun, wishing you the best of luck <3

@PLouise9 hey I'm so glad for you. All good then now hope they don't take that long with my daughters x
