DLA WAITING TIME 2024

Omg how long is it going to take for them to answer!!!
Only 20 mins in but feel like I've been holding for hours.
My belly is doing flips.
What am I going to do if it's a decline 😔 I don't know if I have the fight in me

Got my fingers crossed for you and all the others awaiting a decision! 🤞🏼
I have it in my head that once I get the decision (if I do) I'm hoping we're both screaming on this thread as we have same scan date! 😂😂

😬 that could go wrong. Im all for living once and aslong as it wont kill you, you have to try it 😂

We have the fight to support you x

Nooo they wouldn't tell you off or just say that you got confused about the days of the week and if kitchen fitters come just write things on piece of paper for them to do 😜

Will call now, thank you! You're a diamond!xx

I made a mistake on my form - I ticked the wrong box but I just wrote a letter cause it was so hard to get through and it allowed me to clarify my mistake.
it might be worth calling just to explain and then writing a short statement just clarifying the mistake.

I'm like that with most things! Very impulsive and then think about it later 😂😂 but I love being surrounded with people like that too! I reckon we could get an army gathered to go upto DWP HQ and demand answers 👀😂

These ideas I'm getting from you guys! 👀
right I've decided, I'm jumping in the shower and then, I am CALLING!!

Yessss! If they say you've got a decision then I'll do the same. What will be it will be of its declined then MR it is xx

I hope we've got the same DM

Been on hold for 15 minutes. What’s the usual amount of time until they answer? Trying to decide whether I should just get on with my house work whilst I’m waiting if I’ll be waiting a while 😂

He got declined, I have no fight left in me, it's been a struggle for years not being believed.
Because he masks so well at school they've said he can control it.
I'm devastated 😔 I've literally lost all hope 😭

Anywhere from 4 mins to 2 hours😂

Do you reckon they have it on system when I last called? Because I feel like I might tell a little white lie and say, oh I've recently updated my number on system so was just worried you guys were not able to contact me in regards to a decision 🤓 how does that sound?! 😂 xx

@Persianpoppy We would all end up in one big cell moaning about the wait to use the toilet 😂. Good luck x

@Pebble11 It can vary from 30mins to just under 2 hours 😬. Good luck x

I am devastated for you!!! Keep fighting! He hasn’t got what he deserves right now but he will! We’ve all got your back x

I’m so sorry that is heartbreaking. It’s so hard when the school don’t back up what we are saying. Sending love ❤️

@Anxiouslywaitingmum My heart has just sunk for you. I'm so sorry 😔. The fight isnt over. We will help you and cheer you through this. Whatever you need we have got you xx

Oh God, this has upset me as I’m in the same shoes as you. Daughter masks well at school - 100% in tests - do they not understand the struggle we have to get them to school in the first place and never mind to revise? I’m so sorry. I’m still waiting news but know I’ll be the same. I wish I could give you a hug.

I must of lost my marbles because tell me whyyyy im standing in my shower whilst on hold to DWP 😂😂😂 I'm hoping they don't hear the shower! I couldn't wait until after the shower 👀

I'm gutted for you 😔 it's hard enough being a parent without the extra needs coming into play and then to have to constantly fight your case, it's soul destroying. I think you need to take a minute to regroup your thoughts and then if you feel up to it then ask for a MR xx

This has been my problem for the last 6/7 years.
I've never had the schools support because he masks.
I honestly just have no fight left.
Just another thing I feel I've not been believed with. If only the DM had called and maybe asked questions because it's hard to write it all down x

Do anyone know how long uc take to sort back payment out for higher rate dla? And how much extra they give?

Oh my! My hearts burning for you 😭😭
No no no, time for a MR! We are all here to support you in any way you need' ❤️❤️
