DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 45

[Matilde08]

💗🤞🏻💐

Hoping to see more awards for people today 😊

@Garfield456 @Crazyhouse4 thank you ! So glad this is all over now for the next 2 years 🥹

I called last week and was told that my son’s claim was with the DM. Then I called again just to make sure (I panicked and didn’t believe the call handler lol) and was told my sons claim was in a like to go down to the DM but hadn’t gone there yet. So I called today to be told that my sons claim isn’t due to even be looked at until the beginning of July 🥴
Scan date - 26/02
Had 2 letters and a text

it's so frustrating when you get different information each time you call!
Did you call the long way? some times they have more information than the shorter way

That's awesome. Congrats 😁

Mines 22nd March and il be week 12 Friday
I think your on week 10 tomorrow
It's been a crazy wait for my first in 2017 in took 5ish weeks 🙄

Give them a call hun they may have made a decision but not messaged you. Good luck 🍀

I did got the most unhelpful person in world who said it was a decision maker (has been since the 31/5) and he couldn’t give me nothing else and could be up to 20 weeks 🙄

My scanned dates 22nd March and as the letter said takes 15 weeks iv not called and won't till the 15 week mark iv worked that out to be mid July
Feels like such a long time away still

Does anyone know where they are in regards to MR's I'm only 5 weeks in so expecting another long wait x

Yes on Saturday. I rang this morning to find out and they said they've had so many MR that they are now working Saturdays too. Son was awarded MRC and LRM so will get a nice payment this week going back to August 08 last year...

Parking SD 26/02/24

Yeah it’s really wearing me out! I don’t understand how one person can say one thing and another say something so different! I tried 523 way. I might just try the other way and see if they are more helpful, although I very much doubt it

Yeah ill be on week 10 tomorrow (11/06) i must of typed 11 weeks by mistake haha i had been awake since 3am with my son.
Oh wow its mad to think how long the wait is now compared to previous years.
just anxiously waiting for a decision its soo stressfull . Hopefully you will hear something soon 🤞🏻

That's a shame. Sorry you got an unhelpful one. Seems to happen a lot 😕

I will do, I'm not holding out much hope but it would be a lovely surprise. My 20 weeks isn't until the end of August/beginning of September. X what is your scan date?

Scan date 16/4 and I had a second letter today saying we are dealing with your claim and can take up to 15 weeks. Is that 15 weeks from the scan date or 15 weeks from the second letter

Mines the 20th of march x

Good luck! I have everything crossed x

It really is iv also got my 16yr old dla clam swapping to pip had the phone assessment and was told if don't hear anything in 8 weeks to call which also brings that one to mid July 😳

I called after school and got through quite quickly, she's been awarded hrc and lrm till 2028 ! I'm so relieved!

Not sure if it's worth sending this as extra evidence for my daughters dla claim
Basically iv got an appointment next week to try get my daughter put on adhd meds and asked the teacher if she supported me with that which she's happy to do and has written a letter is it worth sending of to dla or not
Or wait and hopefully she'll be prescribed the meds send a letter of saying she's medicated and the letter from the teacher

so i called today my son renewal due on 1st july and my daughters first claim scanned 26th feb

so for my daughter the standard was repeated on the phone 20 week wait.
and then for my sons renewal he said will be decided by end of june as i was about to put the phone down the gentleman said oh hang on a decision on your sons renewal has been just made. so he put me through to a young lady who then told me my son has gone from getting just HRC he also now will get HRC AND HRM. im so happy as i went down the smi rules for him and had to get so much eveidence for him!!

Just had a text sd 20/2 my son has qualified 😭 what a agonising wait xx finally can breath and one less thing to worry over xx hoping good out comes for u all xx ❤️

Ooh same scan date as me now I’m wishing I called 🤣
congratulations x
