DLA Wait Time Chat

Congrats to all the awards today 🎉🎉

I sent a long letter from the school about how he is in school, proof of his ADHD and proof of his food aversion (were questioning arfid)

I asked for text, when I got it I rang back in to get the information on what he had received.

Fantastic news! Happy for you, I also am applying for my daughter for eating disorder but anorexia and aslo sent letter from school and anorexia diagnosis from gp and eating disorder clinic reports. I'm 04/01 and I really hope she'll get what she deserves

Hey, I’ve been reading these threads for ages and just created an account to post 😂
First of all I LOVE the support here it’s just amazing 😍
Scan date 21/12, called for first time ever Monday as the wait was killing me 😩 told it was with DM lovely lady but no decision so to give it a week, couldn’t wait the week so called again today, 2pm still no decision then just before 4 had 2 missed calls, tried to call back but within a minute got a text to say he qualifies
Absolutely over the moon but now stressing why they called 🤦‍♀️has anyone else had this?

@Berosey54432 Sorry to hear that. Dont give up and dont forget to reach out to us all see if we can help with MR.

@Mysticwolf9299 Blimey thats quick. Congratulations im chuffed for you 💝

@CTL123 Congratulations on your award 💝.

@TiredTilly Urghh no way 😡 but atleast someone was willing to help and you know what the hold up is 😔

@Anxiouslywaitingmum Did you keep your finger away from the call button? 😂

Yes. But have decided to wait until Monday to call. That gives them 5 days to get it sorted 🤣😂

@Fee89 thank you lovely ❤️

congratulations on all the awards so far, and to anyone who hasn’t been successful at this stage keep fighting, you know your babies and what they need better than anyone else

@Anxiouslywaitingmum That sounds a very good plan for someone that will call tomorrow 😂😂 xx

I can't call tomorrow as I have people in work with me. I need to keep myself busy Friday so I don't call 🤣

@Anxiouslywaitingmum Ahhh Friday it is then 😂. Im not calling until 7th May 😬 xx

both xx

Try calling them tomorrow and ask for a message to be pushed through to your mangers team x

Feeling even more hopeful for us and everyone else! 🤞🏼😊

Scan date 31/01

received letter today stating it will be 15 weeks. Better than the original 18 weeks I was first advised

Me too, my gut feelings is telling me that we will hear within the next couple of weeks only hope it will be a good news for us all 😊

@Loubyloufootball You are day after me. 30.01. I got that letter weeks ago. Was dated 18th March 😬 amazes me how different they are with everyone x

@Fee89 i got a letter today dated the 25th of march ? I mean I don’t know where it’s been the past month ! And I got one Friday that was dated after . Also gave a 15 week deadline don’t know if that’s from now or the 15th of march . My scan date was the 20th of February

I got that letter 2 weeks ago and I'm 5/02, I still have 20 weeks max in my head but more like 16-18 lately

@Jempeech You letter obvs went on a holiday before coming to you 😂 i dont think anyone knows what is going on anymore lol x

@Mysticwolf9299 I sent similar to be honest but don’t know if it will be enough , but I mean she’s 7 and has adhd and autism I don’t get how they don’t expect them to need extra support and care as why would they get a diagnosis if not so I find it crazy when they decline with official diagnosis. Like why would they get one if they could function the same as their peers 🤪

I didn’t even look at the date of the letter! I am expecting another month at the latest (fingers crossed) x

I'm 28/1 I received that same letter a month ago 😂 I think they send crap to put you off bugging them or sumet 🤣 xx

@Fee89 a months quite a while though don’t get it . I mean they haven’t been in touch for any information. School haven’t heard so I’m assuming they have what they need and I’ll have an answer either way very soon x
