Dla Waiting Times - Part 31

[Margot82x]

New thread xxx

@Tangerin what is your scan date x i am 2/11 i had that 15 week text last week and called this morning to be told it will be going to DM any day.. this wait is agonising x

I called for an update, requested by SENco for funding etc.

spoke to a lady and said still in a holding queue however should have a decision by the second week of March which will be around 16 weeks from scan date (22/11) and roughly 21 weeks from calling from forms. If not heard by second week to call back.

xx

@mummyof3girlsx well this morning I was told it was in a que I called regarding something to do with my other sons claim x

@mumtumok ooo interesting.. i am the same, this morning i was told it was in a queue but due to be allocated any moment sort of thing as im just past 16weeks yesterday.. thank you x

@OpalsInOctober I sent mine 17 September but they only backdating from 24/10 I gave reasons and said I sent it off 2 days befor the date on form but do I fight this or leave it cuz she’s had an award? Xxx

@mummyof3girlsx I have got a memory like a fish never remember anything 😂😂

@STEPH691 Me too.. only thing i seem to remember anymore is my scan date 😂x

@Tangerin I rang tues got told with dm told could be up to 2 weeks had a phone call from a lovely dm Wednesday morning asking few extra questions told I will have a text once decided as I hung up the phone had a text to say awarded on hold an hour then to find out what rates 😂 could just said on phone lol xxxx good luck!

Oh @bonz2023 that adds weight to that hypothesis then!
I think my scan date is 13/11 as that is what is said when I got the letter but it should be sooner because my deadline was 6th of Nov and I posted them before so they would get there on time

On my calendar I had that I was at week 19 from my calculations but I think maybe I am actually 15 if they did scan it then

@mummyof3girlsx good luck lovely hopefully hear something in the next few days keeping fingers crossed for u I’m currently waiting on universal credit to veryofy the disability element another painful waiting game x but don’t give up it will definitely be worth it xxx

@mummyof3girlsx I just replied to the scan date. I thought it was before but according to their letter is 13/11. I am hoping a couple of weeks or so...

Oh no @Mariehanna nooo the wait again!!! I know they can't tell you the award on the phone but how do you wait for a letter or the money. I hope I don't have to ring again ever

@Mariehanna thank you lovely i'll be sure to keep everyone updated x

Think we are going to need a new thread soon guys. Well thought this might of been the last one. Oh well hopefully next guys 🤞🤞

Do you think it's best to wait for the award letter in the post before asking for the disabled and carers element to be added to universal credit? I called for the forms on 02/10 and had 20 weeks back payment Wednesday

Just got off the phone - scan date of 17/11, been told to expect a decision around 21st March which would make 18 weeks.

I called for a form for my younger daughter yesterday and asked how long the wait was as the moment for existing claims and he said 18 weeks. I said should I ignore the 15 weeks as stated in my letter and he said yes 🙄. Thought I had a matter of days left to wait but looks like I need to add another 3 weeks onto that now 😩

23/10 Just had a phone call and all they asked was why was the forms in late and I just said that I had sent them in plenty of time to get there so don't no why they was scanned late hopefully I have some movement on it now 🤞xx @XxNatty1xX@mummyof3girlsx

Created a thread/part 32 now this one is almost full

Hopefully you won’t be waiting much longer! Did you call in for forms? when you ring for the forms do you get a deadline to send them back in then? I printed mine offline, but seen a few people saying they were late sending them back wasn’t sure what that was all about. Xx

The threads go up to 40 pages?

@Tangerin I rang up to know the rates an they were happy to tell me xxx

Oh no does it… I will delete the new thread then….!!!!@Foolmeagain

@XxNatty1xX ye I think it's about 5-6 weeks xx

Ha ha, yes. Just makes it easier for everyone to keep track of the messages and threads if they're used until full. (Plus might reduce the number of threads until I get an answer 🤣)
