DLA wait time thread 43

@NoWordForFluffy I rang up because I was worried then he said they definitely had my claim just beside on sending letters xx

I know they have mine as I sent it Special. Hopefully I'm just in a backlog.

Oh all sounds so familar, everywhere I go around the house are lines of cars, if he comes into my room he will line all the cans of mousse and hairspray and if I touch them I'm an absolute criminal. Real bad sensory difficulties don't even ask about teeth brushing and hair cuts.

Yes I'm learning so much every day, he is a Gestalt language processor so I find modelling sentences works better than how speech and language actually teach. Portage have been amazing and we have literally just started settling in nursery one hour a day but even that hour can be very long on a bad day. I have a meeting today with senco and portage who are coming together which is great. I'd rather keep him home to be honest but I feel I need support towards the EHCP process.

P.s. 6ft trampoline taking over living room is the best thing I have ever bought 😂 I also a made a little sensory room under the stairs with mirrors and fish lights which works very well

My son (who was awarded DLA two years ago now) is the one who causes us to walk on eggshells. I said in the Ed Psych meeting at school (to prepare for the EHCP application) that nothing is fun, as you're constantly preempting what could trigger him next. We compared it to the Terminator, constantly scanning the horizon! 😩

He also has very restricted eating. It's so hard finding stuff he will eat. Then you do, you fill the freezer with it, and he then instantly stops eating it!

DD is very different with her autism, but she should be getting to be independent now, and she just needs so much help / prompting with everything that it's exhausting. Just differently exhausting to DS' needs!

Parking 31/1. Quick question ladies i was told yesterday that it's on system that I should of been asked to send in birth certifate and it may take up to two weeks fir me to recieve the letter requesting it but it shudnt delay my claim. Do I have to wait till I recieve the letter or can I just send in today special delivery with cover note ?

Time line update for those waiting. Scan date was 30.01. Marked as priority (I had genuine reason) if i remember correctly on Tuesday last week. Called Wednesday and DS had been awarded HRC and LRM. Tuesday back pay went in the bank and received the award letter that afternoon. 2 year award. Stay strong <3

I've seen a few say they needed to send birth certificate in, I've not and now ik panicking!!! Did everyone have to send the birth certificate in? X

No it isn't needed for everyone, seems to be needed with most of the younger children from what I have seen. Was needed for my son and he is 3

Awww okay, thank you for replying!

I'm second guessing everything ha!

Scan date 26/1... phoned 2 days ago got told I'd hear by 13th June (20 weeks)
Today I can see a back pay going into my bank tomorrow 🙌 such a relief, don't know the details as no text, awaiting a letter

Congratulations to all who got awarded today 👏🏻

Good luck for those waiting Xx

Iv been waiting since the 3rd April for my backdate they taking a long time

Hello Everyone, did anyone receive HRM?

parking 8/02 rang today for update it’s still not with anyone told to call again end of June 😳

Backpay from dla???? 😮

Did everyone have someone to fill the is there anyone else who can support you question in? My son's school wrote a letter for me to send as evidence rather than fill it in, do you think that will affect anything or cause a decline? x

I can work out your rates if you would like me to. Just need date you called for forms. Or if you printed yourself and backpay amount. Congratulations 💝 x

If anything that will go in your favour. Having a letter from school is good evidence x

Send it today. Recorded delivery 24. Screw waiting about xx

Send it in today recorded delivery with your child’s reference number and they will scan it on the system usually done within 24 hours don’t wait for the letter

Scan date 01/02 still not heard nothing. Trying to refrain from phoning until next week 😬

Congratulations on all the awards so far today!

SD 26/1; I’m going to call again tomorrow afternoon I think. Before the weekend sets in and I have no option but to not call 😂

Today I have woke up feeling super anxious! Stomach doing somersaults but I know I have a while to wait yet still 😩

I had to send mine as soon as I done the claim they requested it, even though I gave passport number, some they ask for some they don't

SD 19/01/24
Awarded MRC for two years which I expected. Claim was for my granddaughter.
Good luck to everyone still waiting...hang in there🙂
