DLA wait time thread 43

Is yours with DM? X

They told me 2 different things last week, one lady said its in a holding pile and the next man I spoke with said its being worked on. Lauren today lady sounded like it hasn't been looked at or picked up yet. So no idea 😕

So.. I've just called and have been awarded higher rate care and lower rate mobility! My son is on the waiting list for ADHD diagnosis. He has extra support in place at school but no 1:1 or EHCP/extra funding. Cannot believe it!

So so happy for you

Hi. Does anyone know what date they are working on with regards to MR at all please? Im just over 11 weeks into waiting - my MR was done 1/3 . Thank you x

Saw on facebook, people saying middle feb 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi,

Our scan date is 12/02/2024, so we are 14 weeks today.

I called this morning to ask if there was an update, and the call handler said there were no updates and to call in two weeks if I don't hear anything.

Now I have received a text message: "We are still looking at your child’s DLA1 claim. When a decision is made, we will confirm it in writing. There is no need to contact us about it."

Does this mean a decision maker is looking at our claim?

Do you know how long, on average, people wait to receive a decision after receiving the text?

Congratulations to all of you awarded today.

Congratulations 🎊 can I ask what your scan date is and what evidence you sent please x

I had that text a week ago. Was told was with a DM last week then told today it’s not and to call back end of the month. So honestly god knows I don’t think they know their left arm from their right. Scan date 01/02.

Scan date 26/1 Just rang up - spoke to a really lovely man after being on hold not even 2 mins! Been awarded as of 16/05 and backpayment goes in tomorrow! Not sure of rates yet but I am so pleased for my little one, she's finally going to have her proper bedroom!
Good luck to everyone!

I'm 11 weeks to, MR 04/03, had a text last week to say it could take another 4 weeks

@bloom1927
Sounds a very similar situation to mine. So frustrating

Honestly 🫠 I could cry, getting really fed up with them now tbh and the best part about it is I could be waiting how long just for them to say it’s been declined, I wouldn’t mind if they were just straight with you instead of saying different things all the time

I’ll be 16 weeks Thursday so waiting until then before I phone back again, but I’m not feeling hopeful at all to hear by then

Just rang got straight thu it’s still not been picked up 😕 08/02

I received my 'Still looking at your claim' text today. Very excited as it's the first text I've received lol . Hopefully this may be our week 🤞🏼

What’s your scan date please I’m 16 weeks tomorrow scan date 30/01

congratulations on your award🥰🥰

Jumping on the thread so it’s easier to keep track of as by time I send it off I rekon they’ll be another thread 🤣 I’m just awaiting school to fill in the someone who knows the child part so I can send it off is it still 20 weeks wait x?

Congratulations to everyone who got awarded today 👏🏻 👏🏻

Hope to hear loads of awards this week 🙏🏻

Good luck everyone Xx

Has anybody been awarded from March (new claim)?

When I spoke to someone on the phone earlier they said I have been awarded from today & my backpayment had been released and was due tomorrow. However, I'm with Monzo and can't see it showing up yet. Don't suppose anybody can shed any light? Lol xx

Just sent in his orthoptics letters. Got his doctor to write a letter to say how bad his eye site is. And one where it says he has appointments every 6 weeks, I got his ASD letter, and proof that he is on melatonin and his early help worker wrote a page about Isaac, and his old teacher wrote about his struggles in a class room xxx

Thanks for replying hun, ive sent pediatrician letters, her autism assessment report, proof of melatonin and im just waiting for something from speech and language to send will that be okay? X

I had that message last Monday and I'm still not with a decision maker scan date 5/02 so still waiting

I’m with Halifax and can’t see the pending payment. It might just go in. I’ve never been able to see any pending payments on my online banking. My back payment is due tomorrow. If it’s not in by tomorrow around 3:30 it might be worth giving them a call. But whenever I’ve had electronic checks sent over I could never see it. Hope that helps x
