DLA wait time thread 43

Thank you so much. @MC2180 it's possible that you have been awarded ot just wanting the information "just in case" good luck

I received the same text as yesterday "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."

Scan date 12/02

Yesterday when I called, the claim was not even with a DM. I won't be calling until next week on Monday.

Have many people heard yet from 02/02? I thought I had a scan date of 18/01 but on the latest letter it said 02/02 - I haven’t slept for 2 years, losing the plot clearly

i had the text on 13/05 saying they were looking at things and not to contact them

DS11 hasn’t been in school since Jan through EBSNA - diagnosed ASD - and I’m doing my finance job early mornings and late nights. But, just received the year end timetable and don’t know how I’m going to deliver it as normally I’d do the extra work to meet deadlines mornings and evenings so could cry...

Good luck to all for positive news for today!

I got that text on Monday last week & it went to a DM on the Friday if that's any help x

Hi all
does anyone know if your doing a change of circumstances do you still receive your original payments whilst waiting or do they stop until they have made a decision?
Thanks
Good Luck

Hi all. Does anyone know what the wait time is like when calling?

Yes you do still receive your normally payments mine is coc scan date 19/01

Rang today they resending form to school what a waste of a month hopefully it will get sorted now if school receives new form getting really stressed with this now. Scan date 19/01

Wow. Got straight through. 20 week wait apparently but are people getting decisions at 15weeks? I’m currently on week 12.

I’m on my 16th week currently with DM

@Waiting1901 thank you.
oh wow how long Is the coc wait?
already get HRC for DC 4 no mobility as didn't have a diagnosis. now have one which Is stroke and cerabapalsy (not holding out hope for HRC) been told its impossible to get it gor under 5s
but at least I know I tried.

Good afternoon my love!

@Matilde08 is there any news hun? Xx

36 weeks today since phoneing for the forms
Week 10 for MR phoned for an update looking at another 2 weeks atleast there saying
Last rang on the 10th they said they where working through 10th -12th feb or some DMs for MR but today there saying there only on the 14th 🤦‍♀️

Nothing so far, dear 🙃
I'm trying to put that at the back of my mind at least for today, it's my little boys birthday today, so focusing on that. But yes, it would be great birthday gift 🎁 if they would finally make that decision 🤞🏻

Congratulations to the ones with awards💐🎉🥳 and good luck to everyone who's waiting 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Waiting1901 I'd ask to speak to a manager because they cannot base the claim alone on waiting for them, what if they don't get it again?

I think a decision should be made on what you provided and nothing else, it's the documents they have to hand which is readily available and it is not fair making you wait. I am not expecting the same wait treatment.

I will ask to take it straight to tribunal if it gets to me like that

Coc seem to be same wait as new claim my scan date was 19/01 DM sent letter to school 26/4 but they have not received it so that wasted a month basically for me my wee girl gets HRC she ticks all the check list for smi for hrm but you know what they are like they will prob try give her lrm which I will fight if they do so new letter being sent to school today so will keep you updated on time scale

Congratulations on all the new awards. I’ve just caught up…

Fingers crossed to all of you waiting 🤞x

Happy Birthday to your little boy!! Genuinely praying for you! Xx

I think I will ask to speak to manager I'll wait see if school receives it by Friday if not I'll ring up I sent her statement with claim. It just taking forever now I've to wait for school to send it back and it to be scanned in.

@Waiting1901 wow ok, fingers crossed for you and you daughter. hopefully she gets what she deserves x will keep a look out for your updates

Happy Birthday to your little man. Hope you get some good news soon x

I'd say mrc as it's around 23 weeks ago you requested the forms

My husband gets dla as well as our eldest and we pay full council tax don't get any discount for being on dla

Thank you I was just confused because they sent me a revised bill saying exempt because of the dla but then when they received my updated universal credit award with the extra elements on they increased my bill to triple the original amount 🤷🏼‍♀️
