Ive got so long to wait before i hear anything about my daughter's new claim but the anxiety is killing me already 😩xx

Really not in the mood today 😡 anything and everything has gone wrong so i refuse to take anymore bulls#%t!!!! Requested a manager calls me. Recieved text 16th stating upto 4 weeks. Apparently these texts have been sent in error but no update to correct that error. Waiting times are atleast 15 weeks. Was told notes were logged on but they havnt been logged proper. Told on Friday that mr was with a d.m and will be any day. Got told today, nope its def not and its still in holding. The lady i spoke to was lovely and totally understood why i wanted call back as it seems to be a total mess 🤦🏻‍♀️

So sorry to hear you have been treated like that 😵‍💫
I think I will call tomorrow again, but hopefully will feel a bit better for it. Feeling very overwhelmed today and everything is getting on my nerves. Additionally to my own 4 boys, my hubby's teenage son comes over on half terms and it's super challenging. We already have too small house for ourselves and it's frustrating when there's no space physically and mentally. Then that another week of nothing from DLA pops out from back of my mind, and I'm close to explode

Omg I'm shaking, she has been awarded HRC LRM until Feb 2026 cannot belive it I thought she was going to be denied as she hasn't been diagnosed yet and I only sent her forms I filled out, Her cahms referral letter a SNAP report her teacher did, honestly could cry, scan date 6/3 made priority yesterday, good luck to everyone waiting xx

@Kla1913 congratulations 🎉

Macramepotholder · 29/05/2024 17:43

@ADT13 that's pretty much what I sent plus her dyspraxia diagnosis. I didn't even get someone else to fill in the supporting statement. Honestly I think the main evidence is the form (awarded today 08/02 date).

Rachfrank · 29/05/2024 17:53

I phoned up today and they have put me down as priority scan date 06/03 any idea how long to hear once been escalated xx

Fee89 · 29/05/2024 17:54

@Matilde08 Oh gosh 😬 i can imagine the sound of all boys can overwhelm you at times spesh in an overcrowded house 😔. Hopefully you can relax and unwind abit. Good luck for tomorrow xx

@Fee89 @sjm100 honestly she left me feeling so stressed out and angry at the same time a managers rang me back about 25 minutes ago and couldnt say sorry enough and said he will be looking into it and that hes going to have someone phone me tomorrow with an update as she should of atleast updated me too so we shall see xx

Its good that he's going to look into it further, all the calls are recorded in any case so they will be able to hear how she's spoken to you, hopefully she will be taken off the phones and retrained, there is no need for it, we're all just trying to get by at the end of the day. X

@Shazzle88 Aww the wait is horrendous, I get it, they need to sort wait times out, thankyou xxxx.

No it's not a MR its a new claim, so from phoning for the forms it was 14 weeks yesterday but I claimed priority for financial difficulties, I phoned at 1pm today and no decision so phoned again at 5pm and was told was awarded xx
