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

Oh wow almost a year for you!!! Glad they finally awarded what was deserved. Sorry they made you go through all that what a nightmare 💐

Ok so I called sent the forms the 18th of march scan date the 28th march told it will be anything up to the 15th august said there was a note but then just went oh no that’s ok just double checking it has been appointed so if you don’t here anything by the 15/8 to call back. 20 weeks from scan date. Shocked the length time it takes but I suppose they must be overrun with claims. Good luck all.

I was thinking last night - imagine how easier this would be if it was an online app type of system? One where we could upload documents, evidence, add extra information etc and check for updates etc.

Good luck to all still waiting for news and hopefully it’s good news for all of us xxx

Jkiss · 24/04/2024 08:01

Fingers crossed for lots of awards today! 15 weeks today for us x

Momstheword123 · 24/04/2024 08:11

Matilde08 · 24/04/2024 08:11

Good morning 💐 wish you all a lovely day and some well deserved awards/decisions 🤞🏻 taking my little one to eye test, it's always challenging as he's super sensitive to bright lights and having allergic eye condition..but bless him, always tries his best even when I see it takes a lot from him.

Bee92 · 24/04/2024 08:27

Seems to be a good number of people on the Facebook dla pages getting awarded for scan dates 5th and 6th Jan 🎉🎉
Getting close to my scan date of 09/01 🤞🤞
Hoping everyone gets some good and speedy news

Fee89 · 24/04/2024 08:31

Quick question, I know DLA pay on a Tuesday but is that the same for the backpay? Keep checking my bank account as a way of seeing if I've been awarded but now wondering if that's pointless since it wouldn't go in till Tuesday 😅

Emzi538 · 24/04/2024 08:41

I think back pay can be any day mon-fri?

Anxiouslywaitingmum · 24/04/2024 08:42

A decisions been made but he couldn’t tell me what it was. I’m guessing a decline he’s putting me through to someone who can tell me. Anyone else had this

I'm going to wait until Friday like they have said and if I don't see anything, then I will be calling them up again.
I feel like from what I've been told in comparison to what others have been told, you don't know which one of those call handlers are actually telling the truth xx
