DLA wait time thread 43

Congratulations on all awards today!
I've had the text saying they're still looking at the claim 🙃

That’s should be fine. If you can get the part of the form filled out for “someone that knows your child” that would make a great help as well so they know it’s not just you seeing the problems with them. And that’s ok I don’t mind answering questions. Everytime something changed though I called up and told them. Like when my sons school said they couldn’t cater for him and he isn’t in school anymore I told them. He hasn’t got a EHCP because he isn’t in school and I’m waiting on a list for a specialist school and gave them to schools details. It’s just if they do go checking it out then they have the information. If you need. Anything else just let me know hun xxx

I’m crossing every part of my body that loads more people get awarded this week. I do know exactly how you all feel with the waiting. I hope everyone gets what their child deserves. I’ve ordered lots of blue pool noodles today to stick in door frames as that seems to be the massive culprit of causing injuries to my son at the moment.

just one question though now my son has HRM can he get a blue badge for his visual impairment? I don’t mind parking at the back of car parks but would make things easier having somewhere closer

Iv just called still not been picked up lady was not helpfull and very snotty asked if was at all possible to put through as urgent as daughter now has no bed and a riped mattress hardly any clothes because she has destroyed them all in the last week after me buyjng her new a few weeks ago due to the same thjng she got sent home from school befor lunch time every day last week and 3 days the week before due to her behaviour the doctors wont help say we have to wait on her referral witch has been accepted but appointments far few between waiting list are 4 years in are area so have no option to look into going private witch cost thousands to get her diagnosed and treatment witch i dont have unless we get some help but the lady said you cant push any cases forward no decision maker will make 1 a priority over anyone it goes in date order witch i know people have been prioritise she basically called me a lier saying no dates over 1st of February have been delt with yet honestly at the end of my teather with them and the bull crap info they splurt out on a daily to people
Sorry for the rant 🤦‍♀️

I requested my forms by phone 22/12 and it took me a while to fill in it was scanned into the system 19/03 the exact deadline date,will this still be classed as in time?

Thankyou. It's usually abit different with Monzo, you can see a pending payment showing on the account 3 days before and can claim the payment at 4pm the evening before it's due. Xx

Congratulations on the award, so please 💕. Yes you can apply for blue badge x

Congratulations to everyone who have been awarded today 👏🏻💙🎉🥳💐💐💐💐

Just thinking here..even though we have not been awarded yet as they are more focus on other things in my boys case, anyone has any ideas of criterias how they decide what rates to give.. or it's just very individual..? Obviously I'm at the point that I just want to find out finally if he's awarded at all, but just curious. My boy goes through ASD assessment, has educational and health care plan, allergic eye condition, has sensory issues and ARFID. He does not have 1:1 but being supported by SENCO and teachers.

@sadiekt21 It usually takes 3-5 days to go into your account from them paying out x

Can anyone help work out rates? I’ve got a pending payment due to go into my bank of £2128.10.
forms requested 15/12
form received 25/1

thanks ☺️

@Kell85 1000000% get a blue badge to help you park nearer to keep yourself and child safe. hrm will automatically qualify for blue badge, no forms needed by external agents and you'll also qualify for a car if you wanted to use the money for that.

How do you prove having melatonin given to your child? Do you just send prescription in or letter from gp/pharmacist?

Any idea how long coc are taking?

Anyone got hrm without 1:1 need?

Okay so I phoned back just for clarification because I was really confused, lovely lady answered and was really reassuring, my claim has been sent to a DM this afternoon and should have a decision in 5-10 days, hope this helps anyone x

also said she can see I requested a text which has been put on the system but it’s not guaranteed I’ll get a text if we’re awarded as it depends on which dm has it so fingers crossed :)

Going by what I’m due to get and I applied a couple months after you I would say you’re getting lower rate on both. You could devide that by the amount of weeks you have been waiting and see what it matches. Mines worked out weird because you don’t get mobility before they turn 5 and my son only turned 5 last month so I only have 1 months worth of the mobility component

Does anybody know if I should be exempt from council tax now I receive dla for my son? I was told I should be and I informed my local council. They sent me a new bill saying I was now exempt and was in credit and will need to call for a refund . I rang and they are now saying since that bill they have received an updated statement from my universal credit which has increased due to the carer and disabled child elements so my council tax has actually tripled from what is was before because of my new income amount

Thank you so much hun, I know we privately messaged about our situations so I’m very relieved right now. Hope everything is ok with you xx

Scan date 19/01 DLA sent letter 26th April to school for more evidence letter still not returned said it to teacher today she said she would keep eye out for letter if it lands so they obviously have not received it. Man was quite rude on phone when I rang today he said yea I can see your calling alot in a very snarky tone. Don't know what to do next ring them bk say school not received it or leave it another while getting really fed up with all this feel like I'm getting nowhere

Sorry, what was scan date again?

Sorry I'm only seeing this now yes she would run out on road near got hit twice with cars going on 50mph road she has no awareness of danger would run out on roads would wander of etc

01/02

30/1. And just copy of referral from the school to get a diagnosis. Then I just wrote down how he is at home etc.

Amazing, congratulations, my daughter has only been referred, I sent the cahms letter, a snap report her teacher filled out, a brief doctors report and what I wrote down in the forms but my daughter has just been reffered to the SALT in school recently too, so waiting for the report on that to send, I'll be 11 weeks Wednesday, just really worried I've not sent enough but yours gives me hope.

I’ve been awarded!! MRC for my little boy

how do I apply for disability element onto my claim?

good luck to everyone for their awards 15 weeks and 6 days for me 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Yes definitely sent enough. Aslong as you have proven that they require more care/mobility needs than other children their age you should be fine x

Amazing so happy for you!!💕💕💕

Thankyou, yeah I definitely have gone into detail about her daily needs and nighttime needs too so hopefully its enough.
