DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 44

[Kla1913]

making a new thread ✨️

I think they must be working just before 15 weeks going to the dm pile, he said mine was with the new claims dm on Wednesday and I wasn’t 15 weeks until the Friday.

Am I right in thinking they are up to 13/2? Or is some people still waiting before that?

I could be wrong but everything I’ve seen on this thread is dated around that week, I’m 15/02 and got a text yesterday that they are still looking at it x

Yes definitely all in the same week and we all got the same text yesterday too @Lucy95 is 13/2, not sure I’ve seen any 14/2, there’s a few with 15/2 and I’m not sure if I’m the only 16/2, it seems a quiet week so hopefully they will get looked at quickly 🤞

I'm 12/02 and a couple of others on here are too. Think we're all still waiting to hear at the moment

12-16 May is a full week still waiting to here, good luck to everyone waiting, hopefully good news for us all next week 🤞

I'm 19/2 and got the same text 🤞

That makes sense it’s seems the texts are Tuesday to Monday scan dates because my friend is 20/2 which is a Tuesday and she didn’t get one this week, I wonder if when we get the text that group go up to the dm pile together 🤔

Thank you 😊 all those positive thoughts and messages makes me emotional 🥹❤️🫂 I feel a bit better today.. had a very good chat about everything with my hubby. Was very open to him how I feel mentally to face all the challenges. He came into my and boys lives when we were still grieving. So he knows that I can't just move on with my life but making life around our grieve. He's amazing stepdad and my boys are my strength. Will try to focus on those blessings and stay positive. And no pressure to be strong all the time. We put down some good steps for the future how to manage our life better. I still have my counselling and it's helpful. Like my therapist said I just had to face too much in such a short time that I have not been able to process it. 🙃

Again.. thank you all beautiful souls for your love and support ❤️ And wish you all the best with your lives 🫂💐💗🫶🏻

Believe it or not, that is clearing the backlog. I went through a new claim last year, think end of July forms scanned and decision wasn't made until 11th of December. And i was one of the luckt ones. Most were 22 - 28 weeks. So they have slowly brought it down the last few months. Still way too long though. My other child's new claim was received 26/02 and i wasn't expecting to hear until August, so potentially June time would be great

I think I'm getting my week's wrong but if my scan date is 4/03 is my 15 weeks at 20 July ?

No hun 17th June is 15 weeks for you

Thank you so much!!!!

I think I’m on week 7 on Monday … I’ve no idea how everyone is waiting so long and still having patience! Seems a life time ago I rang for the forms, that was 26/2 my scan date is 15/4 forms went back slightly late too due to not being able to get an appointment to help fill them in. Was due 8/4 but sent special delivery 12/4 after appointment on 11/4 . Hopefully they aren’t harsh on a few days late . Has anyone sent theirs back late and been refused back payment? X

The 6 week date is the cut off to get the back pay ,you will receive money backdated to the day they receive the forms xx

I thought it got back dated to the date you rang up for the forms? That’s what it said on mine 🙂

They give 6 weeks to get it back to them. I wrote on the forms why it was late returning as advised but they may not accept the reason.
my sons teacher had the form to fill out a part which she said would be done that week for me so on the Friday I rang to see if I could collect it, she went on annual leave for two weeks so I couldn’t get it back in time to get an appointment with citizens advice for help to fill it in. Hoping we get a friendly DM 🤞🏻 that’s if we get accepted at all x

Mine was 1 day late due to the bank holiday, when I called to see if they recieved it they said yeah the 02/04 and it was due the 01/04. I asked if the bank holiday would be taken into consideration as if it wasn't the bank holiday the forms would of been recieved on time and the call handler I spoke to told me it may be taken into consideration but can't say for definite...if im awarded and they don't backpay to day I phoned for one day I think I may have a massive complaint considering I was waiting 5 months for the forms anyway, I rang 3 times before they were eventually sent out to me.

I do hope they back pay for you. 1 days seems very unfair if they don’t!
I had to cancel one appointment as the teacher still had the forms, it would have been avoided if she hadn’t took the forms home to complete as I would have taken it back unfilled but I’m very grateful for their time to fill them in too. Just a situation that I couldn’t have predicted. Fingers crossed for you x

I think its abit ridiculous that they give us 6 weeks to sent it in or we have consequences but they leave us waiting 5 months plus for a bloody answer xx

It gets back dated to the day you called for the forms if you send it in within 6 weeks but if you dont they back pay you to the day that they received your forms x

I wonder how that works because I’m still waiting for my youngest daughter’s forms to be scanned on, 1 week to receive forms from them, 1 week to fill them out and I sent them 3 weeks ago so they better not say they wasn’t returned in time 🙄

Very true, that's a good point uno, how do they no they have received them on time if they arent scanned on?? Somethings not right, were getting conned somehow i think x

Aw sounds like you have a very loving and supportive husband, you and your children have been through alot ❤️ glad you have alot of support around you, I'm only staying to see you be awarded 🩷🫶🤞your time is definitely coming 💖 💗 xxx
