DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 45

[Matilde08]

💗🤞🏻💐

Hey, I’m 16/2 too, I’m not sure if I’m going to call after lunch or just wait until Monday, but I will keep you updated

@DMc87 hi, when you say multiple people, like who? Please I'm only asking as I'm same boat as u x also is your child diagnosed x upsetting when they decline part x

We have just done, parental interview last week, and the play-based assessment for Autism this morning. They will all get together, and along with the report from school, they will give a report and recommendations which will take a few weeks.

I dont think it will be done in time to send off as extra evidence. If we get rejected or lower Rate care, will it be worth doing MR. I feel we was abit light when we sent the forms off, and if we did it again, it would be alot more details

scan date 27th feb couldn't resist so called at 9am got through to a absloute idiot who just repeated the 20 weeks wait wouldnt even confirm if it was with a dm

Ask too talk too someone else I did and mine had already been qualified I had no contact x

His carer/PA wrote a statement specifying the distances he can walk and explaining they have to constantly stop for rests on outings, also his auntie wrote explaining he has to be carried to get anywhere (he is 9 and not light), and his consultant mentioned his mobility being limited too. I heard VUW was hard to get, but I thought I had enough to prove it here 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was going to wait but my husband said to call and see. I’m hoping it’s soon though. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you !! 🤞🏼

Congrats on awards this week 🎉
Hope you feeling better today @Matilde08 xx

congratulations what was your scan date?

I rang this morning using 523 got straight through. I was told my son was awarded middle rate, back pay was processed Wednesday and there’s a letter in the post. Obviously happy I’ve had the decision. My scan date was 15/02

Congrats on the awards 😊

I rang again today call answered after 5 mins then told no information could be shared so asked too be directed too someone who could and within mins I was and had my whole claim explained

Scan date 21/02. So on the 15 week mark now. Called this morning-went through more than usual security questions to be told about the 20 weeks and he couldn’t tell me if it was with a DM or not. Nice guy just not helpful. Asked if it was with a DM and he said he doesn’t have that information. Juts gonna hold out till next week.
He did ask about my bank details-it this just a standard question for all or am I being hopeful in the fact that he asked because its being awarded?

Thank you... I'm OK, focusing on my other sons birthday today and double party tomorrow 🎂✨️ Will not DLA to ruin my focus on that as I felt it actually started to happen.

Good luck to everyone and congrats to the ones who been awarded 💐💕

@Matilde08 Happy birthday to your son. Hope you all enjoy the party tomorrow 😊

Does anybody have the address to send extra info over too please

I need this too xx

I too will also need this as just got off the phone to my sons dietician and paediatrician. Change in medication and a different diagnosis to add too x

I can just find DLA freepost online I’m so confused can you use that address but tracked 🤷🏻‍♀️

@ArtfulJoker @Shazzle88 @OneTiredMumma84

Not sure if new info goes to a different place but this is where I sent my new claim to.

So happy for you and your baba! And glad you didn't have to wait too long for the MR! 😊 xx

Happy Birthday to your boy! And I hope the party goes well 🙏 😊 xx

What area do you live in?. I'm thinking certain areas are getting through claims quicker than others.. congratulations also 😊

I caved and called scan date 14/02, my little boy has been awarded LRM & MRC! I'm so happy for him and glad the wait is over, good luck to everyone still waiting I hope you all here soon 💗

Congrats 🙌🏻
such a relief for you.

Did you call up before this or was it your first time?

I'm scared they are tracking me calling and don't know whether to call today (although.. I will😅🤣)
