DLA WAIT TIME THREAD 37

[MLW92]

.

It does get more anxious when they are getting close to your award date! Im 18/12 and feeling the same now, but I only rang up yesterday- with DM, so dont think I can ring again, think they will get mad 😂

Hi everyone so I got awarded hrc until December 2025. It went to a decision maker on the 2nd of April and they made the decision the same day. No text or letters. So don’t lose hope. I called last week and they told me I would have to wait until end of April or the beginning of may 😳 scan date 29/12

Hi they say that then next thing you know it will be with a decision maker. Did you ring for the forms?

State phone line was bad yesterday so couldnt hear what they said 😂 x

Ohh, ring back after 3 I wouldn't be able to help my self 😂xx

great news xx hopefully they make the decision the same day. Fingers crossed

Hi, No I didn’t call for forms I just printed and sent them out

Oh god really!? Don't know if I can! That's the first time I've heard the hold music, Jesus that is designed to build tension and make you anxious 😂might ring Monday. What options did you chose? Sure I did it wrong. I called a few times but after it asked English or Welsh it cut me off so once it started going through the options I freaked and don't know if I did it right haha xx

yes this is correct xx I waited 13 weeks and 4 days.

scan date 14/12/23 was awarded yesterday at exactly 16 weeks! Found out this morning! Chuffed to bits for my girl x good luck everyone 🥳

Ok same here I printed them as well and sent them out

Argh really, do you think so? What options did you chose? Just said to jade that I'm sure I did them wrong. He wasn't frosty with me but didn't offer any information that I didn't ask for and it gets a bit awkward! 😂

Phahaha thats brilliant! I might do that!

I just got off the phone with a manager, he’s promised to try and prioritise our claim but yet still told me to stop calling everyday and to wait until next Thursday before I ring again, this has changed from original day of Tuesday that I was told 🤷🏻‍♀️ still couldn’t offer any support on what evidence they want from me as they already have so much, so still a waiting game unfortunately x

My reply would of been 'il stop calling daily if you just tell me what extra info is required'. I dont get how they cant get into their heads that is all you want to know atm!! X

I've just called, 40 minutes on hold.
Scan date 18/12.
Was told they're working at 16 weeks so as I'm 16 weeks next week it will go to a DM and I will recieve a text when a decision has been made.

Congratulations to all those who got awarded today 👏 and good luck for those who are still waiting 🤞🏻

looks like lots of awards happened today, congratulations everyone awarded. x

Hi when should I notify uc? Should I wait for the letter from dla or do it today

I seen many people get awarded the same day, I got awarded the same day it went to the dm. Ugh I can’t remember which options I choose 😭existing claims is what I remember hearing looool this was the second time I called as well

Congratulations! Happy for you ☺️ also makes me nervous as my scan date is 01/04 so not long after you. Good luck to all that still waiting hopefully your children get what they deserve xx

Is there any early Jan dates on here?

They have all the evidence they need they have to award you on what you’ve sent surely x

Notify them straight away im waitinf for mine to be verified can take a while x

@kristie198 @Emmajm85 i called and got through straight away. She said still waiting on NI and award is likely written on the system. I asked it’s seen by a dm?? I’ve been told countless times a dm can’t see it without an NI! She said not true it’s been seen and award is likely just waiting on NI.
she also said getting an NI is a matter of months not weeks!!! I said no surely not I’ve been waiting 20 weeks. She said could be another 2 3 months for NI ☹️
