DLA WAIT TIME THREAD 40

[Fee89]

DLA WAITING TIME 2024

When my son was awarded it was the only time they asked me for bank details as security when the decision had been made

They've asked for my sort code and account number last week but this is first time asking for the e last 4 digits and i know that's not on the form

Scan date 3/3 2024. Waiting lol . Change of circumstances

Did they say we want to make sure you bank details are correct? Sorry it wasn’t for security it was before she told me there was a award

ohh!!! That’s a new one?! Where would they get that information?

I dont have a clue! My only thought would be if something is set up ready as they wouldn't need it otherwise

I would defo call back and check progress later tbf cause that’s a strange one. Must be a sign of some sort of payment but you would think they wouldn’t need your long card number to set anything up.

I honestly dont get it, it threw me when she asked for it.
She was very vague about the claim too, just said it's with the dm but can still take up to 20 weeks but then others who have called today are getting told 15-17 weeks

I’ve called a few times. To ask about extra evidence I sent. When I called last week they said end of April/may xx

I've just got off the phone and the guy said it's taking 30 weeks. He said nothing is happening with the claim at the moment. I asked if it was with a decision maker but he didn't confirm

30 weeks?!?! That's mental! What's your scan date?

Goooood morning!
I could not help myself and called while I walked back from school. Unfortunately, I picked the wrong options and the guy that answered said he couldn’t tell me anything 😒
Called again once I got home and got through relatively quick, had a mouthful of digestive and nearly choked but the guy did his questions and then took like 10 minutes typing in silence. Never been so tense in my life.

Long story short, CM from Friday was right, decision was made on HRC and HRM to 2028 (he will be 16) and the adjusted payments were issued as well as letter.

I did keep it together, just… just wanted to tell you all mums out there that there’s light at the end of the tunnel! It was exactly 14 weeks for us but something I should have done many years ago. Better late than never!

Good luck to everyone. All the best to your little treasures 😘

30 weeks!!!! That can’t be right surely!? 30 weeks is just ridiculous! 😩

That’s amazing!
so happy for you!!! X

Yeyyyy!!! So happy for you. Was yours new claim or CoC? Xxx

congrats again!! So glad you got it all confirmed this morning and your wait it fully over❤️

30weeks?! That's a piss take

I’m waiting for a decision for my youngest 7 year old.. currently process with cahms for suspected sensory processing disorder and also autism… my middle child is 12 he got his diagnosis for autism end of July last year.. he already gets DLA I didn’t let them know about this diagnosis should I have made them aware?

Congratulations 🎊

I just got through and my cats bought a live mouse in so I hung up😵‍💫... round 2 now 🤞🤞🤞

Yes definitely let them know. Can I ask how long was your son awarded for? I'm only asking as it might make it easier when renewing as they might ask you if you've had his diagnosis yet? Just guessing tho 🤔

I'm just calling now
I feel sick!!! They've changed the music today!

Good luck and I hope you get some good news, I rang this morning and been told 15/17 weeks but light be anytime and she didn't even mention if its with anyone and darent ask. I'll just wait now xx

Scan date 08/03, got first letter 28/03 and second on the 29/03 asking for evidence.

Aww that's new to me as I haven't sent any evidence to start off but I haven't received a letter requesting it.
