DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 45

[Matilde08]

💗🤞🏻💐

I’m 15/02 I called yesterday and they said there currently taking 15-17 weeks🤔I don’t see why they tell everyone different

@Ljstar I'm going to call back soon, my husband agrees I should and ask for an answer as a lot of others get told! I will let you all know the outcome
☺️ thank you

Let us no 🤞for you xx

Mines the 12/2 and still waiting. Went to a decision maker Friday 🙄

My scan date is the 14/05 so im in the living ng wait with u, is that ur first letter u got today xx

@Mumofjoey24 im in this long haul wait with use both I don’t no my scan date yet as I haven’t received any letters but I think it’s the 22/05 I paid special delivery with Royal Mail and it says it was delivered then 🤣😩😩 I’m just waiting for my letter to send some extra evidence as I don’t even no my child’s reference number yet and don’t want to send it off without that x

@Ljstar @Emma2345
He's been awarded MRC and LRM
I'm over the moon for him he deserves it so much! Now just my daughter's MR to wait for!
Fingers crossed you all hear very soon 🍀🙏🏻

19/03 should I just hibernate for a month 😕😂 ✌🏼

Have you called today? Surely they must have a decision by now, they seem to be going through the 14/5 today

Congratulations on your sons award

I’m working 8-8 so can’t 🥲

SD 12/02. I caved and called again. Wouldn't tell me anything, not even if a decision had been made or not. Said that if I don't hear by July to call back then. I probably shouldn't have called as I'm just causing myself more anxiety. Will do my best to be brave and try to wait patiently for the outcome.

I think that's a generic security question. When I rang to see if they'd recieved the forms I was asked what the name of bank was that payments would go into and they'd literally just recieved the forms.

Edit just seen you'd been awarded, congrats

Congrats on your fabulous news. Sigh of relief I bet

Aww I’m so happy for you and your little one ❤️ congratulations on your award I bet your so glad you rang back now 🤣 xx

Hello. I've just had a pending payment from dla so my son has been awarded but can anyone work it out what he's been awarded?
It got put through as priority as I've had to give up my job. Scan date 22nd March £1000.80 back pay.

SD 20/02
I've just called and the guy on the phone said all I can see is that we received your claim on the 28th of March and the current wait is 14 weeks so you will be waiting until September for a decision.
I said how can that be possible when my letter says it was received on the 20th of February. That's a whole month. He said that's weird but that is what is on my screen. Like what??? Now I'm so confused and even more stressed out 😩

Also does anyone know what I do for uc..or do I wait for a letter?

When did u call for the forms xx

@Emma2345 I printed them off. They said it was put through on their system on the 22nd March x

@Emma2345 I literally am over the moon! I cried for him, it's such a relief for us!
Thank you ☺️

Managed to call them. Still with decision maker and he said a decision should have been made as it’s over 16 weeks. He will send an internal email and ask the to make the decision 🙄

I would call back and call there bluff 😂 say I was told there was a decision but they wasn’t able to tell me at the time, please could you check for me. Some of these call handler are clearly not even checking claims

Was this a happy man? Humming songs? Sounds like you may have got the same one as me, he’s done the same thing for me but I’m not 16 weeks until Friday. Hopefully you will hear by tomorrow, good luck

My MR was done 1st March. Told 8 weeks then 11 weeks the the end of May then 15 weeks. It's now with a case manager and I should hear by 14th June. Does it really take 9 days for a decision or should I hear something before then do you think?. My son has adhd and is waiting to see a consultant to be medicated, I originally claimed in October last year so the wait is draining, I work part time and I'm struggling at the minute as most days I'm exhausted by him and his meltdowns and battling with him everyday that I struggle to even go to work and when I am there, I'm so mentally and physically exhausted I may aswell not be there at all so I'm praying for good news xx
