DLA WAIT TIME THREAD 38

[TheHeadOfTheHouse]

Scan date 15/12.

I came on to ask this I received this text 5 mins ago too! Scan date 28/12

It’s the text they send out around 15 weeks

28/12

27/12

Yes me just and same scan date

Hope this means the end is in sight!

How long after receiving text at 14/15 weeks did people hear whether they’d been awarded? Give us some hope 🙏🤪

And either the date do I put todays date or the date that DLA is backdated from? Xx

My scan date is 20/12.

I received the same text 03/04, bang on 15 weeks.

Still with the DM, but supposedly been with them since 22/03 🤷‍♀️

Pretty sure it's just standard once you hit 15 weeks - covering themselves as letters sent acknowledging claim usually state a 15 week wait to hear the outcome.

So pleased for you! 🎉🎉

Posted before.. its a bit blurry and a screenshot of a screenshot but explains step by step. @Taffylass72

Yay!!!! Im so pleased your wait is over xxx

I never had the 15 week ‘we are still looking at your DLA claim message.’ I’m 15/12- hopefully not a bad sign!

So so happy for you!!! Xxxx

I never received the message xx

Yes I've been to GP, GP tells me to self refer him to cahms.
I've referred him to cahms about 4/5 times, on my third assessment over the phone the lady told me she could see how much support we needed. A week later I got a letter through the door saying they have closed his referral and bullet pointed 3 other places to refer him too.
Like I said previously it's been a battle, a battle getting any support whatsoever, he masks so much and sometimes I sit there and think I'm going crazy. He's 11 and he still sleeps with me every night, he can't fall asleep without there and if I go to get up he wakes up and says he's scared.
But if we had this conversation in school he'd tell his teacher he wants to sleep on his own 🤦🏻‍♀️ he's very good at telling people what they want to hear!!

I’m not sure with that he told me to put his date of birth in 🙈😂 I rang up cause I didn’t know how to do it.

Put the date u were awarded from x

Hi, I’ve rewritten how to add DLA on to UC and how to backdate it, my last one was alittle blurry 🤦‍♀️

does anyone no how long it’s taking for uc just to verify that your child recieves dla to add it on claim

Mine was completed in 10 days, they will update your previous claims and write on your journal and let you know it’s been updated and if there’s any money owed to you, refund is usually about 3 working days

Has ur change of circumstance been verified on uc yet x

How long would it take to goto a decision maker for the backdate on uc

Nope not yet, I put a note in today asking them to check if it's been verified yet, but heard nothing back, will put another one tomorrow, I have an appointment with them next Monday so if I hear nothing back I'll ask whilst I'm in there,
Have u heard anything? X

The dm and changing previous awards etc was all done on the same day ( day 10 ) mine may have taken alittle longer because I applied for carers allowance and I had to update them once I heard from them but it was all done the day after I updated my carers allowance
