DLA WAIT TIME THREAD 37

[MLW92]

.

we don’t come under the “special circumstances” because “we haven’t been given an expected lifespan” hence why we still waiting 🤷🏻‍♀️xx

No way? That’s so interesting.
I have ASD and do notice some traits in my daughter at times. But nothing unmanageable.

She has Cerebral Palsy and it’s the pain that’s waking her up. I think the paediatrician was thinking it’s maybe more bad sleep habits rather than pain keeping her up. Maybe he’s just ruling that out before they try muscle relaxants to help her sleep…I dunno 🤷🏻‍♀️ xx

@Emmajm85 did you put in a application for child benefit xx

Yes, I think I will call. Don’t want them worrying about me and thinking I’ve got nothing better to be doing with my time 😂 xx

😂😂😂

Yes I did! How did I not know that I could claim it 🙈 felt so stupid 😂🙈
I did it online, but it asked me to print the form and then post it. It’s still not even been scanned into their system. Lady on the phone said I should hear by June 😂🤪

have you claimed? Xx

@Taffylass72 There should still be some way of flagging your daughters claim as urgent. Please do ring cm number and if still nothing maybe look into other ways of getting them moving. Its not what you should be stressing over 💕. Please keep us updated x

@Emmajm85 Oh bless that must be so horrible seeing little one in pain and knowing you cant take it away. Id make a bad DM as id award everyone lol x

Yes I did I didn't know either I did mine online as well but still not heard anything either xx

@Taffylass72 100% agree with the above comment.
so wrong that this is taking up any of your time and energy 💕 xx

@Fee89
id be the same 😂
but I tell you what, we would get through the work a bit quicker xx

Did it ask you to print the form and sent it off? Xx

@Emmajm85 And in order by the looks off it x

Just received this! I've had no call from them though!

😂 yes! Xx

It did but I set up an account on the online portal and sent it online as well instead of printing it off xx

Ohh I didn’t know I could do that. I set an account up too. I’ll have a look later.
Currently on hold 🙄
surely one of us must get a decision this week @TiredTilly xx

Ohhh! Dial that number quick! 😂 Sounds like good news 🤞🥳 xx

Hi guys scan date 6/12 I've just been told I've got MRC for my little boy. Does this mean I can claim as a career for him or not? Hope there's loads of other awards today xx

I've just got through and still nothing yet she said it's with a DM which I already knew anyway and it has been marked as urgent so still no news xx

Im just off call. Didnt even ring. I wanted to see if claim had been sent to dm. She didnt even look. Stated its taking 15 weeks to go to dm and i should call back middle May. Im keeping fingers crossed for everyone else xx

Did u have a lady called Kim

God you got through fast! I’m still waiting!
it’s a joke. Let’s see what script my call handler is using today 😂 xx

Yes. The type of person that you wouldnt invite to a happy event!! X

Yep me too she said about 15 weeks to me but I'm currently at 20 weeks 😂

Just spoken to someone, the lady I phoned and spoke to I could have cried she said the case is closed! I was like what why she said she didn't know and that she would put me through to someone else to find out why. Another lady came on to say she doesn't know why she said that as she was awarded MRC & LRM yesterday until 2025! 8/12 xx

I prefer dealing with pip than the jolly lot at dla x
