DLA WAIT TIME THREAD 40

DLA WAITING TIME 2024

Rang up just now and been told it’s going to a decision maker this week and I should know by the end of next week if he’s been awarded or not 🙏 🥳- Scan date 06.01

I called this morning and spoke to a lovely man called Philip (i think he had a Wigan accent), he was so kind as I’m worried I don’t have an official diagnosis or enough evidence. He said many of their applications are for children still awaiting official diagnoses. They’ve received my updates but not the teacher’s. School confirmed their information was sent last week.

Philip advised that I call two weeks to tomorrow as that’ll be my 20 week point. I know me - I’ll be calling Wednesday

They also requested my daughters birth certificate to

A man answered. Took my son's name and ref number then put me back on hold 😔
He sounded grumpy too

It runs out June this year. Had his forms to do his renewal makes me sick having to fill them out all over again! Since his diagnosis I feel like had no help and support at all! He masks in school so lashes out soon as he gets home. But because they refused his adhd still in the process of appealing this.. it’s just like once diagnosed there done with you xxx

So apparently only gone to a DM today. They are being done on date order.
If I'm awarded I'll get a text and a letter, if I'm not then it will just a be a letter.
Still none the wiser

Spoke to Ash, it's been registered apparently, could be another 2 weeks he thinks. ... sounded like he was making it up as he went to be honest and I'm none the wiser

Sorry typo!! That was supposed to say 20 weeks!! Ahhh is Monday over yet 🤦‍♀️

Parking
20/11 🙁

Still no progress? 😔

parking 18/01

22/11 here 😔

Nope. Going to ring the now, even though I know they are going to say the same thing x

Scan date 12/01 and just received the we are still looking at your claim text any one with the same date received one this morning ?

When are you going to call again? X

Good luck. Im hoping there is some update. This is taking the piss now. I really feel for you and @Matilde08 xx

Good luck with your call 📞 hopefully some clarity. I will wait for couple of days and then call. But it's upsetting that they can't even tell anything.

Today exactly 5 months since scan date 🤦🏻‍♀️

Have you called for update? X

Just called up DLA as my daughters claim ends next month. Wanted to see how far along the renewal is. She said it's still in a pile and that if the renewal date passes, I'll still receive payments as I sent the forms back before renewal date. That's not true is it?? Does anyone know how long renewals are taking at the moment please? I hope you all get some answers soon.

Yes thats true. If renewal date passes you will still be paid at the current rate x

@Fee89 Thank you for that. I didn't know (I thought I was being fobbed off) That's a bit of a relief then. After DLA 'losing' all my daughters paperwork and evidence for the first claim, I'm so untrusting of them. x

Yes. Last week on Thursday. Went through straight away as I did choose option more than 20 weeks of waiting. First lady toke all the details, security questions, bank details.. she could see straight away that we have waited already more than 20 weeks. She then put me on hold to do some checks, I got a bit excited. And then she forwarded me to another lady who just simply said it can take longer than expected. No update, no approx time. Very general.. it sounded like she have said that many times to many that day. So ended my call with no clue what's going on at all. Was hoping maybe after this call some movements.. so far nothing..no texts no letter..

Call today if you can if no proper update then ask to speak to a manager or for manager call back. At 20 weeks they are meant to mark you as urgent x

Did they find all her paperwork? 😮 x
