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

Yup. You never know what to believe 🤦🏻‍♀️ x

I have a friend at the school who also applied for DLA for her youngest child. Her scan date was 15/01 and she was awarded last week. However, her child has the same needs as my child.
so, that kind of baffled me too! Possibility that they're awarding the applications with the highest levels of needs before anyone else, I'm not too sure. X

I agree!! 😂😂
Roll in all the awards! Feel like DWP should look at these threads! 😂 we're all anxious over here! X

@Alex900 the wait is intense!!
I really hope it's good news x

Honestly from reading all these threads (my saviour!xx) it seems that its all pot luck for the majority unless severe urgency or needs. The different answers seem to vary from call handler with some with DM, some in a pile, then back to another pile, then waiting somewhere..possibly for a bus? Then 15 weeks, then end of the weekm then others told a flat out 20 weeks, which I imagine is in their script as the timeframe the claim should have been handled. Wishing everyone so much luck and thank you everyone who posts!

I decided to call dla on a whim. Just found out my little girl was awarded MRC yesterday. Scan date 10/1. Wasn't even with dm when I called on Monday so I was shocked.

I pray today and the rest of this week is full of good news. May you all get what you deserve for your children 💞

@Alex900 any news? Xx

07whatever · 24/04/2024 09:29

😭 A decision was made yesterday for my little one. HRC til 2028 😭
Had a lovely call handler who went through everything with me, I was chatting with her about my lo telling her that they were born extremely prem and it has come with a lot of needs, she told me I should have applied much sooner.
Good luck to everyone waiting, my scan date was 11/01.
Now I have had a decision am I able to tell UC to get disability element added or do I have to wait until I recieve the letter?
