DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 44

[Kla1913]

making a new thread ✨️

@UsefulZombie Fingers crossed 🤞 we hear this week the wait is so long 🙄

Sd 19/2

Just called to check on the info I sent in on the 15th, they received it on the 22nd so that's all good.

Asked for an update and she said it's in a holding queue whatever that means?

She said it should be sorted in the next few weeks. Her name was Lisa and she was alright. On hold for 30 mins, did the 523 options as suggested on here.

Good luck everyone calling for updates today

💐

Ohhh no way it cut off 😳 that is soo frustrating are you going to try again? And aww my dog is same flys keep him entertained 😂 I'm OK just waiting on letter with rates or for back pay to go in to find out what we actually been awarded. I think after text last week saying we have been awarded I have not even bothered ringing up as its like I'm scared they gonna say it was a mistake or somthing the text 🙈

It cut me off twice. 3rd time lucky hopefully. Awww you should call and find out. 100% they wont say its a mistake 💖

And I really appreciate your positive thoughts and care ❤️ Today counts exactly 28 weeks since scan date..

Oh shit is about to go down when a team leader calls me 😡. Rang Thursday to request team leader rings me........she said she was putting through the request. Just got through to question why no team leader has called me.......lovely jackie tells me there is NO notes or request from Thursday. I have seriously no faith in these people 😡😤

That's ridiculous 😑
That's exactly why I didn't trust about my boys claim to be marked priority. You can't really know to who to trust there.

Something else added to my list of complaints 😤

@Fee89 nooo wtf 🤯 need to start recording calls at this rate it's absolutely terrible honesty seems they make it up as they go along so sorry as know how frustrating this must be and @Matilde08 honestly this has to be your week surly 28 weeks backwards and forwards it's not right at all you been messed around so much and told so many different things as well 😳

why can no one do their bloody job correctly?!? Goodluck lovely x x

@Zoes3d1 She took time off call and said a team leader will need to listen to the call before they call me 🤷🏻‍♀️. If i dont get a call a massive complaint is going in xx

I hate lies, just be honest its easier to take and saves all this hassle. Thank you xx

Can anyone help me with financial hardship wait time? I have to quit my job to care for my son so asked for to be marked at urgent. How long will it take once they agree to priority it? Thank u for help x

Anything from 24hours to a week i think x

Rang this morning to be told my daughters MR has Been assigned to a decision maker today even though last week the lady told me they were looking at it right now 🤯 11 Weeks MR (03/11) original Scan date
My son's claim hasn't been assigned to anyone (15/2) he said they usually assign them every Monday so maybe next Monday if I'm lucky!
But definitely should hear in the next few weeks because I'm at the 16/17 weeks wait mark!
I was told last week it was assigned to someone, so now I don't know what to believe, I don't think I'll call again, just wait for the letter or text!

Good luck to everyone waiting. Hope there are a lot of positive posts this week!! 🍀

So infuriating!

I have been told so many different things too it's just draining.

Either they're really incompetent or they tell us conflicting info to confuse us and to stop us calling because clearly there is no point 🙈

Unless they answer the call with "your claim has been awarded" then anything else I would take with a pinch of salt

This whole process is horrible, maybe it's to put people off actually claiming?

Fingers crossed you hear soon ❤️

@Ljstar it is draining because they get your hopes up that the end is in sight of the long wait!
It's not like we've waited a week or 2 it's months and months, I was told at the start it would be 11 weeks for both now it's 15 weeks and 20 weeks! But when they just lie to you for the sake of it it makes it worse!
I don't think I'll be calling any time soon though 😂
Thank you! I hope it is for you too! 🙏🏻

Hi, I’m 16/2, I was told last week I was in the new claims dm pile and should receive a decision text within a week, called today and she said It goes to dm at 15 weeks ( I was 15 weeks on Friday ) and to give it 2 weeks after the dm receives it.
my youngest daughters claim I’ve called this morning and it was scanned on 21/5 but I’ve called twice after that date and they told me to call back in a week both times. I don’t know if they know what there talking about half the time

Well, that's why I'm still super pessimistic to believe the decision will be made by tomorrow even I have been told it will. Because 3 weeks ago I have been told any time soon, more than week ago..any day now, and I'm still waiting. And yes.. it's so draining.

Guys pray for me that my boy gets HRC and HRM

@Accbabymom1994 what evidence did you send to try and achieve hrm x

Sorry for off topic you lovely bunch but does anyone know how long roughly EHCP’s and ASD referrals take? I’m going out of my mind!

I had to wait 3 years for my daughters autism assessment there was a huge backlog after covid x

My sons paperwork was sent of to go to panel 8 months ago and still heard nothing, the camhs consultant said he still thinks ill be waiting another 18 months to 2 years for it to get there.

Ehcp can't help with as currently waiting for my sons to be done.
