DLA WAIT TIME THREAD 41

[Fee89]

Chat and wait 🌸

Yes, it's the NINO.

I was backdated 18 weeks worth of carers allowance, they are a lot quicker when you apply compared to uc and dla, mine took 6 days

Yeah. Said financial difficulties. 2 days later I got a decision X

👋 I'm from leamington/ warwick area 😊

I'm 19/01 also they sent a letter to school so waiting now on outcome hope you hear soon

where can I find this on Facebook please, would love to se updates as much as I can.
@mumofboyngirl did your original form say financial or did you make that change? Scan date 06/02 here 👋

@Waiting1901 oh have they, they mentioned they were calling the school? I havnt heard anything about them calling consultants or school or asking for evidence even though I have sent them. All I have had from them is thay a decision hasn't been made or they can't find my claim on the system 😂. I hope you hear this week, and all good news for you🤞

Hi can I ask what the group name is on fb please
My scan dates the 22/3 so along wait for me
With my oldest she was awarded in 5 weeks back in 2017 can't believe how long the wait is now or if I was just really lucky then

Dla for children support and advice it’s called x

My baby just about turn 2 so my anxiety is bad as they will probably say age related x

Was that recently you applied for it as I can't wait to give up my job and will be applying but nervous as I have heard it was taking just as long as dla for it x

The form online is so quick and easy to fill in and they was really quick, I got my back pay and my first weeks carers allowance 6 days after applying then it carried on weekly, it does ask you when your filling it out if your want money to be paid weekly or every 4 weeks. You will receive the money In your bank before the letter arrives

Sorry i didn’t answer your question 🤦‍♀️ it was at the end of last year I applied

I'm same as you waiting to hear back from school

Tried not to think about waiting for a decision today as it’s a bank holiday but come tomorrow I will be a ball of anxiety once again 😂

I didn’t need to make any change lovely. Just rang up, told them I was having financial difficulty, they prioritised it, 1 hr later it was sent to a decision maker and 2 days later I was awarded X

Was this for a new claim? I'm self employed on maternity leave so working part time so we're just about getting by (luckily my sister is bailing me out). I had to use what savings I had during the end of pregnancy due to complications. Universal credit is low due to number of children and born after 2017. I'm wondering if I could get help sooner?

Hi mamas and dads. I was reading through the threads, catching up. I haven’t been on here for a while. Iam doing mandatory consideration, still waiting to hear back. Congrats to everyone who’s been awarded and those who are waiting hopefully you will hear back soon and your children will get the awards they deserve xx

hi am from the West Midlands too. Sandwell area xx many from the West Midlands on here 🤣

so I think I’ve been overpaid by universal credit. My case manager isn’t reading my messages what would happen? Has anyone ever been overpaid by uc?

can a link be put on here for the next thread?

Yeah. New claim. Ring them up, say you need to speak to customer service centre as you’re having financial difficulties and need your claim prioritised. They’ll put you through to them, and they’re basically the management team. Explain to them your situation and hopefully you should get prioritised X

@BlueyMama im Northumberland!!!

Good Morning Everyone,

I’ve not heard anything yet xx

@Mummyof5kiddos No one has made a new thread yet.
