DLA WAIT TIME THREAD 37

I’m 17/11 🙄 xx

Wow what a joke 🙄

@Emmajm85 i don't think many around my date have awards yet? We are 19/12

I phoned and got a automated message saying that my claim date scanned 29/12 that I will get a letter end April with the amount of benefits I will receive and they didn't require anything else from me do you think that a decision has been made thank you for your help

That is an auto message that everyone gets when they call. It is to do with the new benefit rates that change every April. It has caused confusion for alot of people.

My thoughts exactly, I've been out of work 3 months caring for my daughter sent off the forms march 7th and haven't had any acknowledgement I tried to call but kept getting told I went to the wrong department so gave up, hope I hear something soon 🙄

same scan date 06/02.x

Have u had ur backdate decision from uc yet xx

Nope! Have you? Xx

It’s only just been verified today so they have only just sent it to a decision maker he said if I haven’t had a decision within the next 4 weeks I can escalate it xx

Oh wow...why so long to verify!
Mine been with a decision maker 13days now xx

god knows it’s a joke they have sent me a underpayment of 468 for this month though but now on the road to the long wait of the next backdate, going to put in for my daughter for dla she’s just been diagnosed with irreversible permanent hearing loss after been told glue ear for 3 years dredding the wait for it all Again xx

letter states decision in 15 weeks. Is this realisitic? I can see others are saying 20 weeks?

Yes that letter needs updating, when you call they will tell you it's 20 wks which is now in effect as of 2024. DWP need to update those automated letters as it causes confusion which is why you have to call them for the clarification...

Just called and he was awarded HRC yesterday for 2 years! Over the moon and feel it’s the correct award for him
