Dla wait times part 36

[Emma2345]

New thread as the other one is getting full !

That seems a while a way wandered if that would be first regular payment- the back payment usually takes less than a week doesn’t it? X

Oh Lord 😂 the stress of it all hey 😂😂

I really want to phone and use the quick way to get through but when I phoned this morning he said you've rung quiet a few times haven't u so I'm scared 😂😂

I rang this morning then tried again on that option this evening they didn’t say anything about this mornings call

I told them I rang this morning, I actually don't care anymore 😂

My missed call from Thurs called back it was from cms not Dla 😂 seems like they use that number for a few different services 😬 I’m giving it until after the Easter break and then I may ring up if I’m feeling brave.

My scan date is the 14/12 got 2nd message today saying we are still looking at your child dla1 claim x

15/12
Phoned again just to clarify it was with DM and not in holding pile.. they said definately with DM but DM can take 6-8 weeks to make decision so she said wait until 3/5 as that's when I'm 20 weeks

On leaving the call she said before you go can you confirm your phone number and address? I thought that's usually done at the beginning not the end

I've rung twice I think since they've said it's with DM the wait is bugging me and I am becoming freakishly obsessed

Yeah that is the first regular payment, as she said it will be at the new rates due to being in April. I didn't ask about back pay, I was just too happy to have an answer! Fingers crossed yours is the same.

Thanks! Can’t bring myself to call again so I guess I wait!!!!!

Have a try. Just say you really want to know if it’s with a dm, it would help your stress😂 x

Scan date 7/12
Going to decision maker this week,
The lady was lovely , she said they'll be sorting through claims over easter even though they won't be answering the phone...fingers crossed for everyone x

So I rang the quick way and it didn't even ring and someone answered she said the same as what someone said this morning that it's now down as a priority but I knew that anyway I just wanted to see how quick it was to get through 😂

Me too 😂 it's become an addiction 😂

i'm going to ring friday if i haven't received the letter before that, my anxiety is even worse now i know a decisions been made ☹️

Think I just had the same person. He said you're 18 weeks and they're taking 20 weeks (I'm 16 weeks today lol). Nice bloke called Muhammad but he asked me in the ins and outs of a ducks a&$€hole and that wasn't even security 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣 . I thought "here we go". Wish I never rang that bloody 512 now haha x

They won't answer on Friday as its a BH. Ring Thursday x

@Keepgoing88 🤣🤣 you couldn't make it up could you?? I'm more confused than ever now! Lol. X

Scan date 15/12.

received a text today to say they’re still looking at the claim.

Im not ringing, i dont see any point when you’re just told a load of crap

Scan date 21/11
my daughter was awarded last week, found out when I saw the back payment in my account. Does anyone know how long it takes to get a letter confirming rates and length of award?

Scan date 22/12 so I'm not long after you. Its strange seeing so many December dates. Totally agree I won't be ringing either I don't have the head space for the lies!

How long did it take for your payment x

@mummyto3littlebeautys how old is he? I think my son is severe too, non verbal, self harms, doesn't understand anything x

@Aussielover he is 8 but got the mental age of a 4 year old! He doesn’t understand anything his understanding is very poor. His report is very deep it’s so sad to read! Hasn’t your little one has to have an intellectual disability assessment? X
