Good luck when you do call, I would imagine they probably made it on Friday but if you call after lunch it always gives them the morning to do it if they haven’t already

They take forever. Majority of people have been told it goes to decision maker around 15 weeks - which would be beginning of July for you, then upto 5 weeks from that but most seem to know by 18 weeks. I'm 15 weeks today today so potentially another 5 week wait

See it’s been with the DM for 2 weeks so they should of made a decision now 🫠

sambel · 10/06/2024 10:37

@wonderfullife1 I'm hoping next week cause we are 15 weeks Wednesday and they say it goes to a DM at 15 weeks, I'm going to phone Friday I think x

Mummyof6love · 10/06/2024 10:39

Answered alot quicker than expected. Not even with DM. Have to wait. Oh well, worth a try. Not gonna call now till next week. Good luck everyone 😘

From going through this end of last year, DM's get given a pile of cases at the same time but can sit on their desks for weeks, if they have a holiday booked or off sick etc, the cases don't get reassigned, just stay with them until they get through them. Plus if they get any priorities through, they have to sort them first. Which is why it's said 5 weeks from being passed to a DM.

Mama3Girls · 10/06/2024 11:07

Scan date 21/2 still waiting to hear will be 16 weeks this weds the wait is just so long. I’ll keep you posted if I hear i really don’t want to call as I called last week and was told shouldn’t be much longer.

Mez2024 · 10/06/2024 11:09

CaitlinAmy12 · 10/06/2024 10:27

I’m 16/2 and haven’t had a decision yet 🙃

They are probably still on 16/2 but some with that date have been processed. They've updated on here, you should be done very very soon 😀

SB1994 · 10/06/2024 11:18

Evening everyone ,
I applied for my daughter back on the 23rd January, it was scanned on the 20th March but I called on Friday and they said If I don’t hear by 7th August to call back up is anyone else waiting since these dates ?

My scan date is also march 20th, we'll anxiously wait it out together haha xx

Carly1931 · 10/06/2024 11:26

Hello everyone, ive been watching these threads for a while and its been really helpful.
I sent off my DD DLA form at the beginning of April and its scan date is 25/4. I called at the beginning of May to make sure they'd received it and they told me then it was with DM but that seems way to soon so I don't believe that. The wait is such a horrible time, good luck to everyone!

Are you a priority application? That is super quick!!

Mumofthecrazygang86 · 10/06/2024 11:50

I've just posted the acceptance onto the neurodiversity pathway letter to them on recorded but I haven't put his reference or anything on it literally put it in a envelope 🫣 what can I do? Will they still link it to his claim? As they were expecting the letter as I told them I was sending it. Arrrrggghhhhhhhhh stressed dot com overhere now. Ffs I always do stuff like this 🥲

If it's got his name on or your address I'm sure it will find it's way to your claim.. if you just posted it you can quickly pop to post office it should still be there explain they might be able to let you stick his details on envelope if you have receipt.. this is something I would do 🫣
