DLA Wait Time Chat

Thank you hun same to you here's hoping for good news for us both! 💖 just rang at bang on 9 and they picked the phone up and put it straight back down again 🙄so annoyed but actually thinking I'd rather not talk to whoever that was!!

Our wait is over 🥳
18/12

My boy has been award MRC & LRM
I'm so relieved. The man on the phone said it was awarded last Friday and payment is due tomorrow.

Good luck to all ringing today 🤞🙏

🥳🥳🥳🥳 woohoo 💝

does anyone know if you get awarded high card needs can you claim careers element and careers allowance? Thank you

@Nickij2024 I love them quick calls 🤣

@Leopardprintleelan No way 🙈 so annoying when that happens I've had that a few times 👊🤣

Well I got through and got some stupid bitch!!!! Who asked a MILLION and one questions, Told me it's taking 20weeks but then added it's with a DM??? HER ATTITUDE WAS AWFUL 👊

Sounds like she needed a throat punch 😬 xx

@TiredTilly @Emmajm85 are you calling today xx

@Fee89 my thoughts exactly 👊👊 honestly if I could of put my hand down the phone 😂

Still with DM been there since the 10th

Got through then phone got put down straight away, back to try again 🤦‍♀️

Im jumping between here and facebook for updates 😂 thinking of calling is making my belly turn upside down and feel sea sick 😬😂 xx

@Kirstygingee this just happened to me!! Sat on hold for 40 bloody minutes after that!!

@Tasha0429 yeah so annoying! Then got through to Rohana who started counting weeks, then stated its taking up to 20 so I told her I was told to call back today as my work coach is pushing me for hours can you just look in my file.

Anywho update is it's still with a DM, she couldn't tell me if it was open or not which is a lie, and told me to call in a few weeks! Yeah good one! 👍

@MamaM1506 Congrats on the great news 🎉🎉

@Holllymum pretty sure you can claim both. CA is deducted from UC allowence. CE is additional.

Think I'll hold off ringing today and tomorrow and try Wednesday when I'm 17 weeks.

@Fee89 wouldn't waste your breath 😂😂😂 I'm fuming now 👊

@Tasha0429 Look at it this way, although she was rude you did find out the claim has progressed and now been assigned to someone 💕 baby steps xx

Call back tomorrow. Seems they are all in a bad mood this morning 🤦🏻‍♀️ xx

If we spoke to them like that they wouldn't like it!
It's frustrating and no one can tell you anything definate it seems :-(

Scan date 8/1 lady said it’s been with the DM since 8/1 it seems so different this time round when I got it for my son it was no it’s not with a dm, then it was and the date it went to them and then I got the outcome. This time seems so long winded with different answers from everyone I speak to

@Leopardprintleelan same women as me 🙈👊👊 she was rude as fuck!!!

@Fee89 that's it, onit this morning though sent a message to the social worker! And trying to get through to he's peadatrion.

I need support somewhere! It's ridiculous! Why should we suffer in silence any longer! Xxxx

@Emzi538 It states their staff wont take any kind of abuse. Well sorry but if your rude to me il give it back twice as better 🤷🏻‍♀️. Respect works both ways, not for them to talk down to us x

Exactly that, but clearly they have not had coffee yet today by sounds of it lol

@Fee89 yessssss 🙌🙌🙌 spot on! Respect does work both ways! Practice what you preach is what I always say! Bitch was awful to me 😂 xx

Yeah she was to be fair, kept saying cool cool. No it's not fookin "cool" is it. Thing is I refuse to pretend to look for more hours so they're threatening to sanction us. I ought to have just pretended instead of being honest eh!

@Alex900 🤔 that makes no sense. Think the call handler was still asleep x

@Tasha0429 Kick some ass today 💪 use your frustration and motivation xx

@Emzi538 They best hurry up and ram some down their throat 😬 xx

Lol
I literally survive most days on coffee...
I feel like joining circus (or I live in one!)
It's a juggle trying to do everything and with 2 sen ds's and a teen and toddler I feel like not enough time in day... and im doing solo ... @
