DLA WAIT TIME THREAD 40

DLA WAITING TIME 2024

*mishears

@Fee89 Wow your 11 month wait for a renewal, my partner did his in February even though his isn't up until October 2024, he suffers from paranoid scziphrenea Anxiety and other issues, so ofcourse him seeing rishi sunak announce the benefit reform coming into place has sent his paranoier wild , hopefully it won't be too long x my scan date for daughter is 6/3, in for the long haul.

Parking 27/2. Wonder if I'll get to thread 100 before I get a decision...

Thank you, I hope yours isn't too long now and they receive the information quickly! Yes let's, I've got my fingers crossed for us to hear soon🤞🏼 Do you plan on calling for an update? Will do and you, good luck too x

Yeah same, I’m shocked in this day that it’s not all moved over to some sort of online only system, would save so much aggro. I’ve spent weeks second guessing every single thing I put on the form, did I put enough, did I put you much, but I’ve decided today what will be will be and I’m going to try and forget about it. I read these threads and can’t believe all the different things each caller gets told regarding wait times etc so im desperately going to try and not call because I won’t be able to take the extra stress. 😩

It really would and I can't get my head around the fact that no one seems to get a straight answer. Half the time, they really do just make it up as they go along. I know what you mean, I'm trying to get to that point but my anxiety is through the roof ATM 😔 xx

Hi all, just parking here as just found the thread! Scan date 7/3.. looks like its going to be a long wait

6/3, me too, I applied last year for my eldest daughter who is 9 and I was awarded exactly 13 weeks after my scan date so do not know what happened since then as the wait has gotten higher 15/16 weeks.

Honestly pip renewal is so long atm. They had to pause to focus on new claims. People were waiting 18-24months they now have it to a year. And that messes with peoples heads as you get no letter just text every 2 months. My daughter got moved from dla to pip last year and that was done within 8 weeks. I hope your partner doesnt read too much into it 😔 x

Yeah, I have read loads about it being so long, it's unbelievable isn't it, he will be OK with all the reassurance I can hopefully give him, all the wars and changes in benefits, the media dont help but he is obsessed with reading it all, sorry for the info its just feels nice to release it sometimes, like i said to someone else my 9 year old daughter was awarded after 13 weeks exactly in April last year so don't know what has happened with the wait times it's horrible hope you hear something soon xx

We have become like an open family in here. We have all let everything out lol. No one is here to judge 💖. The wait time seems to off gone down. Off course some still waiting longer than others. But hopefully no one is waiting too much longer. Good luck xx

19/03 🙋🏼‍♀️

Hi all, don't give up hope. Just to update you, I rang for forms 29/06/23, refused DLA in Nov, sent MR in the received Dec, MR was declined in I think Feb or March, logged a tribunal, days before I logged it my little one received an ASD diagnosis so sent that in too. The DWP had up till this Friday to respond to me, I received a call today from them asking me a couple of questions and offered me low rate mobility and high rate care! I can't believe it, from no award to that. Never give up for what your children deserve! Its been a long stressful process for me, I can't believe it's over finally. Good luck everyone x

Aww thankyou, means alot, I have seen your messages to other members and vice versa, everyone seems so lovely and supportive, I really hope you all get the outcome your children deserve. Xx

👋 for another 2023 buddy. Was told today it's with DM and if nothing in following 2 weeks, to call them back. Not getting too exited... 24th week for us already, so there's should be the light at the end of tunel.🤞🏻

Rang today was told my scan date was 15/01 last advisor told me 19/01 anyone else same dates as me

I was told the wait time was originally 8 weeks too my son was diagnosed a couple of years ago but did not know about dla so only just doing it now and the wait time seems ridiculous could grow a new human in the time it takes these days! Will watch out for your posts as your date is with mine :)

I gave up, they made me feel so crap for even applying... I even had to have my cousin come with as couldn't leave house alone... different lots of meds and I can o small things but ask me to go busy places or gatherings and I freak!

👋🏼❤️! Ahh fingers crossed you hear something before the end of the week 🤞🏼 I feel for you guys who are still from November, the wait is awful and added unnecessary stress on top of day to day life but you are right there, hopefully not long now for you! I'm tempted to call in the morning but think I may try and hold off until Friday 🙈

Haha litterly, 15 weeks will make us end of june/beginning July, but the wait times are all over the place seems so long, my daughter is 6 who I'm applying for she is in year one, cannot read or write or count and do basic math ect bless her, she is amazing at art, that's her talent, school think she had issues with working memory and ADHD so she has been referred to CAHMS not diagnosed yet, I recieve DLA HRC for my eldest who has been diagnosed with overactive bladder, she is currently going through a autism assessment, she can be so difficult,life's hard but I get through it for them x

I’ve been looking on the Facebook DLA page and it appears that LOADS of scan dates ranging from 3-5 Jan have been awarded today!

Fingers crossed for you too 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻👋🏻🌷
I remember I prepared myself for a long wait as one of my friends had her son's award after 16 weeks of wait, but didn't expect half year for mine and still nothing 🤦🏻‍♀️😳
Wish you to hear something before you call them 🙂

Same, i check every afternoon to see what the latest update is 😂
