Scan date 29/11.

I’ve just had a text to say that my child qualifies for DLA. - I’m not sure what rate etc.

It really does seem like there is no process at all to the order of the claims.

Just wanted to let you know for anyone around my date (not that it seems to make a difference) x

I’m so so pleased for you. 15/11 here and obviously the lady telling me it’s all in date order was lying to me 🤣

Mamoftads3 · 06/03/2024 14:10

Just got a text 20 minutes ago to say my daughter qualifies, I am so so pleased for her 🥹

Decision today

Emma2345 · 06/03/2024 14:11

Wonderful news. Please keep your fingers crossed that I will hear soon. Unfortunately my screaming baby is only making my anxiety worse rather than distracting me 🤪

I think they make it up as they go along to be honest.
i think because it’s all in paper form rather than online, each DM is handed a pile to work through and some are much faster than others. It just depends which pile you’re in. It’s ludicrous. Hopefully they’re getting through them a bit quicker now so hopefully you should hear soon x

Third attempt at calling them for an update, how long do they usually take to answer?

Lu2024 · 06/03/2024 14:02

My child’s claim was only sent to a decision maker yesterday so it’s worth a try?
Im trying to call now to ask about rates, payment dates etc.
I think some of decision makers drink 20 cups of coffee per day and other sleep on the job.
I’m happy the decision has been made for us but it just feels a bit unfair to those who’ve waited for much longer than us.
Let me know how you get on x

@Lu2024 im really happy for you. It’s not unfair in my eyes, just glad another mumma is getting what her child deserves. Thank you - maybe I’ll phone later xx

Mamoftads3 · 06/03/2024 14:16

@EEmma2345 @MrMrsW12

Requested the forms on the 16th October

I'll keep everything crossed for you the wait is absolutely awful, I rang this morning and the lady said it was in the last stages of decision making and should hear soon then got a text not long ago to say she qualifies! Xx

Good luck everyone waiting to hear, hope its good news xx

Mamoftads3 · 06/03/2024 14:17

Absolutely. You got what you deserve and you’ve had an agonising wait like the rest of us. Our time will come. It does seem like they are banging them out now!

@Emma2345 I'll keep everything crossed for everyone still waiting, it's had my anxiety through the roof, I could have cried when the text came through while I was sat in the doctors! Had to compose myself lol xx
