Dla wait times part 33

[Emma2345]

New thread as the other is almost full !

Thank you! I feel for you it’s such hard work isn’t it! I’ve sent what I can, a fair bit from school and his EHCP / reports from camhs school / assessment etc but always worry it’s not enough!!!!!

I like the idea of sand timers I might have to try!!!

I don't think it's right, because it only helps to fall asleep

Me too😢!!!! I will be making a new thread soon 🤞 this will be our last one

@Margot82x my daughter is on melotonin and we got HRC. Obviously other needs also, but the melotonin doesn't actually make her sleep instantly, takes hours sometimes and sometimes doesn't work at all! So this then leads to more night time care. So I wouldn't worry if that's what Ur child is on. x

Anyone know after how many days the money hits the bank after being awarded?! My son was awarded today…

usually a few days 2-3 I would say by Tuesday latest it will be their

My payment was processed Monday and received today x

Wow!! First December date I've noticed so far!!

Is anyone able to explain the difference between uc carers element and carers allowance I currently work part time and have notified uc about the dla award yesterday. From what I've read so far carer allowance is deducted from uc so what is the advantage of applying for that over carer element?

Something to do with national insurance contributions?
also you can apply for both anyways, it’s not one or the other.
im planning to apply for carers allowance as it will provide official paperwork for if I ever need proof of being a carer.

Carers element does not affect ur UC you get this paid on top however Carers allowance is deducted £ for pound I would recommend claiming the carers element rather then the allowance

parking again beep beep 🚗

Thankyou X

Haha, my sons claim would have been 14 weeks tomorrow!!!

@Komahra Thankyou xx

Had a payment into my bank account today. It looks like DS has been awarded middle rate care which I am happy with. It’s frustrating that the won’t backdate it until September as it spent 2 weeks waiting for them to open it. Scan date was 9/11.

@ThatsGoingToHurt congratulations! Their mailing system is so frustrating! Xx

Quick question
If you win a madatory reconsideration
Will dla back pay you from the day you rang for the forms at the beginning of your claim or just from the date they change there decision
Hope this makes sense lol

I've been wondering this also.

Parking again 01/12 .. im hoping wont be much longer now 😞

Hi when doing an MR or tribunal they will backdate to the start of your claim if their decision was found to be wrong and your child was actually entitled to it it will go from the day you requested your forms not the day you done your MR hope this helps x

Yippee 🙌 congratulations nice to see there getting through dates faster cx

Just parking - scan date 06/12
