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

It's not paper, they are scanned onto the system before the DM receives the applications.

@MrsW12 Addison's disease diabetes and scolliosis awaiting spinal surgery

Love her. Do you know what really makes me mad is that those with physical needs get turned down more than those who are neurodivergent. It doesn’t make sense. Both need support. I hope you get what you deserve x

@bonz2023 ny scan date was 3/11 but on nack of letter says owed from 8/11 to 5/3 xx

Gemmaoscar · 06/03/2024 20:19

bonz2023 · 06/03/2024 20:20

@Gemmaoscar yes I remember you saying that now lol, hopefully my letter comes soon I've never claimed anything before so not sure how it's all worked out 😂

Mumof6boys1girl · 06/03/2024 20:21

Gemmaoscar · 06/03/2024 20:29

@bonz2023 first time dealing with dla if it wasn’t for nursery I wouldn’t of done it they have been great, the whole thing confuses me so much ur letter will probably arrive tomorrow xx

Gemmaoscar · 06/03/2024 20:30

@bonz2023 if you rang for the forms and returned in the time frame you should be back dated from when u rang xx

bonz2023 · 06/03/2024 20:32

Gemmaoscar · 06/03/2024 20:30

@bonz2023 if you rang for the forms and returned in the time frame you should be back dated from when u rang xx

Yes I think I have been but the back pay is 19 weeks, I rang for forms 19th October so 19 weeks from then is 29th Feb, I get back pay tommorow

So is my next payment 4 weeks from 29th of Feb or 4 weeks from tommorow 🤷‍♀️

Gemmaoscar · 06/03/2024 20:37

@bonz2023 the letter just says you will be paid every 4 weeks but I have no clue when it’s confused me so much x

@MrsW12 Thank you all stems from having neuroblastoma cancer when he was younger

Oh this makes me so sad 😞 x

Shaf89 · 06/03/2024 21:02

@Gemmaoscar i think they dnt pay for half week’s, so they have awarded u from the following Wednesday of your scan date which is 8th. I’ve read this on previous threads. But makes sense now your saying it as your date falls on a Friday. Mine is also a Friday so I guess I will lose a week if I get awarded!

Gemmaoscar · 06/03/2024 21:04

@Shaf89 thankyou that makes sense now x
