DLA WAITING TIME 2024

Aw 🥺🥹🫂 thank you

I will also be breathing fire if she gets declined! If anyone deserves it it's her 💗🥰 And you both deserve some good luck! The support you give everyone on here is unreal 💗 ONE OF A KIND!!

Awww thank you hun 💕. She really does deserve a break. Next week will be your week 😘 xx

Any MRs in feb been done yet ?

I hope so! 😭❤️
thank you!

Hi! Signed Date 05/01, I called today and was told a decision has been made but they couldn't tell me what. He said he could only see that the case was closed which means the decision was made but can't see what the decision is. Apparently a letter was sent on the 23rd 🥹 He was super nice but I wish I hadn't even rang now because you know there is an answer but not what it is 🫠

I'm presuming that it's been denied if they don't tell you? Luckily I got everything ready for MR in advance just incase. Congrats to all those who got their awards today & hope everyone else gets theirs soon ♥️ x

15 weeks tomorrow decided to call yesterday and was told it was "still in a holding pile " this wait honestly feels like it has gone on forever !

Ours is 16w tomorrow and we've had a decision this week so hopefully not so much longer for you ☺️ best of luck

You can be asked to be put through to someone that can tell you. No all call handlers can see the outcome x

I was told it went to a dm today whether that means it’s in the holding pile or they are looking at it, I don’t know. But they have until the end of tomorrow before I flip a switch😂

Ah I see, I was wondering if this might be the case. I didn't know I could ask, I appreciate the info thank you so much x

Update!!

I rang again earlier and said look I'm not happy with the call handlers telling me different things it's unfair on my anxiety. The lovely woman who is apparently part of management had said VERY HONESTLY, some handlers won't go into the file as much just to speed up calls and keep the line free. She did say she will look into the calls I've made as they are recorded and apologised so many times for being told so many different things about the claim. She has stated that it is with DM and I am welcome to call back tomorrow (but to call after lunch time as decisions are processed until around about 12/1pm) she said as far as she's concerned, she has no reason to believe there would be a decline! Honestly, if only all call handlers were as reassuring as her!
So, for all of you; if you have been told many different reasons, ask for a manager and they will look into the recorded calls and something will be done about that 🤞🏼❤️

Glad you called and spoke to someone with a brain!! Hope you feel more relaxed now.

Im calling tomorrow and im kicking up a huge fuss 💪

She really does, ermmm excuse me, OUR WEEK 💗🥰 it's going to be your week to 💕

❤️ I'm sure of it xx they said that if you don't hear anything by Friday to call back, today was exactly 16weeks so its gotta be xx

Seeeeee! It's gonna be a good news xx I'm glad you've called back and were honest with them 🥰 now roll on tomorrow xxx

Congratulations to everyone that has been awarded!! Hopefully everyone hears good news soon !

Do it!!
Im telling you I needed my anxiety meltdown because it got me some answer! 😂❤️

Ohhh Kaz! 😭❤️ just feel so much at ease!
Keep those toes and fingers crossed for me! 😂

i don’t usually post on mumsnet but nice to read about other parents in the same boat waiting. Forms received 09/02 and waiting. Why oh why is the system not all online and having to mess around posting things is ridiculous !!

That is too easy for everyone. We have to add extra stress to our daily life 😫

Ohhhh I will xx don't you worry xx

From the past few months of being on these threads I see the same pattern, when it gets to a point of requesting a manager to call us back that’s when things all of a sudden speed up and you get your award within that week. I hate that they make us get to the point of ‘I NEED TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER!’ and probably call us ‘Karen’s’ behind our back 😬😅

Just woken up to backpay in my account. Honestly so happy for my boy right now. Scan date was 05/01 so would've been 16 weeks today. Good luck to everyone still waiting here.

YESSS!! I agree with you! We shouldn't have to ask for a manager though if the call handlers actually done their job!
Feel like I should get a job as a call handler 😂❤️
