I have a question, how do you know if Dla are calling you? Like will they call withheld number or with number?

I don't normally hold random numbers but since I applied, I've been picking up all calls but miss calls most of the time. So was wondering what number do they call with?

Hopefully there training more staff so they can get through the claims much quicker.

Sounds good for all of us Xx

@Chan24 I'm 6/3 did you ask for it to be prioritised for financial difficulties as every seems to do this and it gets prioritised?

Not all is being made a priority. It depends on what the childs needs are for you to be in financial hardship. Mine was done in one working day due to financial hardship. Some people that have stated financial hardship have been told their claim can still take weeks x

Ahh OK, just seen quite a few posters saying they have claimed financial hardship and was awarded within days so persumed that's all you need to do, the wait times are horrendous x

I got asked what and why her disability was causing financial hardship. So im guessing others would of been asked aswell. Its a horrible wait and your mind thinks all sorts. We had to wait 3 months before we could even apply which is shocking 🤦🏻‍♀️ x

fluffypooch · 13/05/2024 18:15

I wasn't asked anything when I asked for it to be looked at sooner due to financial hardship. Asked last week, called today and she said it's first in the queue and just waiting to be picked up.

That's good, we are all in financial hardship to be fair looking after our children, they need to sort the waiting times out as it should be 8 weeks, it's annoying, congrats on all awards 👏

@Tracy37x @Fee89

So.. gave them a call, the DM needs to call me tomorrow to finalise our AWARD!! 😭 she couldn't tell me what we have been awarded however, there's an error made by my son's GP who had completely written my sons name WRONG hence why there hasn't been any updates. But, my sons consultant sent the same report but with his extra parts and my sons name written properly and they figured the GP letter was for my son too.
I'm having heart palpitations!! I want to cry! 😭 xx

Fingers crossed they do call and give your your award! X

Congratulations 🎊 yeah very quick and good news Xx

Kmcx93 · 13/05/2024 20:37

Seems they aren’t sticking to the date order then as that’s about 4 March claims I’ve seen now been looked at……although it’s great for those who have had claims sorted, what about the people waiting still from January and beforehand! @Matilde08 being one of those.
they definitely need a kick up the arse with these waiting times I’d say!
