DLA wait time thread 43

My scan date is 16/04. Waiting for letter of acknowledgment! But I know it’s been scanned as called to check x

Is the scan date when they receive the forms?? I sent mine first class signed for and they received them on the 14th may xx

I claim DLA for my daughter aswell and had no letters at all . I don’t think they seem to stick to any kind of process! I know we have a long wait yet but fingers crossed for us both! X

No the scan date is the day they scan it into the system, that’s when your wait starts x

Anxiously waiting 😬 19/03 (9 weeks)

I have been told lots of different things. I have received 2 letters. No texts. Called a few times. I have been told 20 weeks. Then 15 weeks. My claim isn’t with the DM yet. It’s still in a pile.

Really hoping my little boy is awarded. It’s just the two of us and the help would mean the world to us both. He is on the pathway for ASD/ADHD. He also has asthma, eczema, lot’s of allergies and atrophy. I had no idea that they were also valid reasons for a claim. So I didn’t add them to the paperwork 🤦🏼‍♀️ He has treatment for all these conditions. Just on a waiting list for ASD assessment which is currently 2 years. We have been waiting for 1 year so far. Waiting for SALT assessment. Should be anytime soon as we’ve been waiting since January. I’m hoping for the best for my little boy 💙

All that time ago I've waited when they said I'd hear the following week and finally been awarded today 👏
I hope all goes well with your MR 🤞

Honestly feel so deflated today, my daughter has been seeing the SALT in school through to her not concentrating and being hypoactive and having a really bad working memory she is 6 and in year one, they have a phonics screening test beginning of next month they are supposed to get 32/40 she got 8 in her last mock test 😢 the school has not kept me up to date atall with this. I asked for an update today and got told she has progressed recently and she seems OK now, as she got 10, honestly they feel like they don't support my daughter at all, they think its a joke, they call her sassy and a drama queen which is so inappropriate they have not stopped pulling me aside since nursary about her, she cannot read or write atall, she won't sit still to even try, she has me up all night messing about not being able to sleep, has lots of excuses of being awake, on top of that my partner is having a rough time with his mental health, my eldest (9 asd) is also being unbearable, I just feel so overwhelmed with everything, I'm so sad, as bad as it sounds I just think why me sometimes? Honestly sorry having a really rough day. This whole process is extremely stressful 😫 😩 😪

You could write a letter to say about his other conditions and explain you didn’t know to include them, and send all evidence to support? You should always write every detail down no matter how small you think it is, everything helps towards the claim 👍🏻 x

So sorry to hear of your struggles! I too have had problems with school not supporting, I ended up going to the head teacher and saying it was unacceptable and stopping my daughter from achieving her true potential! They got an external assessment and now she is having more 1:1 help and is being monitored closer! Schools don’t give children the right support and help most of time I believe it’s a massive failing! I know some schools are brilliant but it’s never been my experience x

Scan date 27/02

called last thursday to check extra evidence had been scanned and was told it was with DM and should hear within 2 weeks.

up with my daughter at 4am and noticed back pay received today. It’s either HRC without M or MRC LRM. I cant work it out because of the change in rates neither adds up and not sure if ive been backpaid 11 or 12 weeks. But im absolutely over the moon to be awarded. I do feel guilty as i know theres people still waiting 😞 but im sending lots of love to everybody on here.

i received backpay at 12 weeks 1 day.

Congratulations on your award, phone up and they will be able to tell you if not wait for your letter to arrive

Anyone still left from January or beginning of Feb left I'm 5/02 so hoping when I phone today I get news I'm atleast with a DM but checking they received extra evidence

Congratulations 💝🥰

I'm 06.02 and still nothing, I called Monday and was left feeling really disheartened, it hadnt been 'picked up' Puts me off calling again, she wasn't the nicest of call advisors.

Contact sendiass and the education dept at your council (ours is known as brighter futures). They will be able to help. Sorry to hear your child is not being supported.

I’m 01/02 called Monday also. Rude call handler and told the same 20 weeks. Left feeling really anxious 😥

Mine said the same, did you catch her name ? They really do put you off even wanting to call for a desperate update. Maybe that is their aim 😞 I don't like making phone calls as it is.

Good morning my loves!!
Fingers tightly crossed for those awaiting decisions! 🤞🏼❤️

I’m 8/02 I hope it’s this week

5/2 here, nothing either

I'm 30/1, still waiting (16 weeks yesterday) but apparently it went to a DM last Friday x

I’m the exact same, took a lot to build up the courage to call in the first place. I feel it’s their aim to, so people don’t call. I didn’t catch her name unfortunately sorry

Scan date 01/02 just had a text saying we’ve been awarded 😭😭I could cry! Phoning at 9 for rates 🥰🥰🥰

Oh my goodness I am sooo happy for you , congratulations x

Congratulations 🙌 xx
