DLA WAIT TIME THREAD 38

[TheHeadOfTheHouse]

Scan date 15/12.

@MrsRawl I agree with @Tasha0429 . Leave it for now and see what your outcome is. It doesnt matter what you sent or way you filled forms you will still over think and question yourself x

So your basically asking them to reconsider there decision, and you can then add extra evidence and supported letter, you can either do it for over the phone or do it in writing, they do skim everything so I think you've done right, i personally don't think they'd read much of the full day schedule anyway, again they'd skim, because the form is literally that, if your thinking extra evidence because that's what you lack in, any professionals or anyone even your mother can give personal statements and send them in? Sorry it's long, it's so frustrating for everyone isn't it. Please don't worry, I barley had any evidence when I first claimed, just a statement from nursery x

Yeah literally we all second guess everything don't we 🙈 I think it'll be fine, I never over do the forms x

Hi everyone
sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask this
my child was awarded hrc and lrm
i wrote on my journal on universal credit that my child was now getting dla and it’s been 8 days and I’ve still had no response from them
is the next step to call them up?
thank you

Hey you need to report the change yourself on change of circumstances or ring up and get them to do it for some reason when u write on your journal u barely seem to get a response x

@Fee89 @Tasha0429 thank you both, yes I will leave it and try and ignore it, scan date is 9/2 so I’ve got a long wait. I sent his SALT report which was quite detailed as evidence then just put his teachers details to contact. I think what’s not helping is my mum got a decline today for PIP and I was absolutely gobsmacked, as was her consultant at hospital who did her a fantastic supporting letter with her claim. She’s quite a poorly woman and we was adamant she’d qualify for it. I know they’re both different but kind of the same x

have you changed circumstances? So you need to go to change circumstances and add in the change, then if no response I would definitely ring they take forever otherwise x

I think alot of our daily stress gets moved onto our dla claim/wait which cause us to over think everything. Iv not slept more than 3 hours a night since October and i worry if i missed anything important x

That's the spirit, I think you'll be fine, I think that's perfect evidence personally. Not really it's probably only about 6week wait now 🙏🤞 really? See I think pip is definitely more in depth, I think it's harder for people to get pip, can I ask if she's an older lady? Again if she's at the age of the it's Normal to have problems if that makes sense they'll use it! Get the assessment report it'll give full details on what the asser reported and highlight each point, what you disagree with, then right up do the MR and read out why you disagree! Hope that helps haha xx

Pip is a bit£&!!!! Its all how you write it. If you dont feel as though you a repeating everything then 9/10 your not doing form right. With Pip you need to go into full blown detail like your talking to a child.

100% I'm the same, and I'm an over thinker in general 😂🙈 it's terrible xx

Yes my letter scan date says 10/12, when I called today she said it was 19/12 🤷🏼‍♀️ Mine has been with a DM for over a week now

I never used to be. But then i had kids and got old(er). Now im shocking for thinking things over x

Yeah absolutely the same for me, my mind never shuts down it's actually mentally draining 😂🙈 xx

Always 101 things going on at once. But we wouldnt feel right if it wasnt like that xx

That's it, it's the norm now isn't it xx

First time applying (kept putting it off in favour of the shedload of EHCP admin!).. didn’t really know what evidence to include but put EHCP (which included EP report & diagnosis) and letter from SEN school headteacher. Now worried it might not be enough…

Oh no,I left the child NI blank. I didn’t think children even had NI numbers, no idea what his is!

I was worried about the same but was recently told that EHCP’s are golden for claims as they normally include enough evidence to base an award report on.

It actually says on the application aswell to send in education plans as they may help with making a claim quicker.

Hey, National insurance is the childs ref number. You dont fill that part, do you claim child benefit? If so then you are fine x

We do. That’s reassuring.

Thank you!

Morning
Fingers crossed those waiting from nov & dec get decisions soon!
My scan date was 17/01 so 12 weeks today for us....
Does anyone know if it's possible to get hrm for hypermobility whilst awaiting assesment (3yr wait) for dyspraxia? My ds scored in the 0.1% (top) with ot assesment but said that she can't diagnose that and it's 3yrs for paeds 2 asses...feels like all we do is wait... 3yrs for asdbdianosis now another 3 for this :-/

@Nickij2024 and @Tasha0429 I'm 31/1 so very to you both I'm ringing today to check if my supporting evidence has been scanned

@Mummyto5beautys @Tasha0429
thank you both
