DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 46

[Matilde08]

🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Not heard back but got told mine is with a decision maker, highly doubt it mind 😅

Ring ask for priority but also get intouch with local council your will be rehoused ASAP if you have the letter but also I wouldn't worry about leaving house on the date landlords given you as you still have rights, my old landlord tried to do it to me then he said he will try sell it with a sit in tenant although we were meant to buy property from him he didn't stick to agreement of repairs and house was falling to bits, we went and bought somewhere else in end but stay there till you have a suitable property will take him months to get you out.. hope your okay and find something asap

I'm sure I saw a lady on one of the threads get made priority then her child was approved the following week, so fingers crossed for next week for you 🤞🏻

@Matilde08 I hate that you're still waiting and going through this needless turmoil again and again.i hope you do get the call today. I have everything crossed for a positive outcome for you. If you haven't had the call by about 445 I'd be straight back on the phone. They can't keep fobbing you off xx

Ow really, is yours under priority then? Fingers crossed for you 😊 I didn't want to call after reading people's comments on here and wish I didn't yesterday as got told nothing except won't be looked at until 20 week xx

I’m about to send off more information so I will ring them Monday/Tuesday to see if it’s received and ask. Thank you x

I've been told all sorts scan date 8th march but today was told if I haven't heard by 29th to call and they will chase it

@UsefulZombie ditto was hoping we would of heard something by now won’t be until next week I reckon 🙄

I called this afternoon- she told me they’re are running at 14 weeks for new claims so I should call next week (scan date 13.03)

No mines not priority, I rang to check extra evidence has been received thats all and thought I'd chance asking for an update🙈 xx

Parking Scan date 13.03 🤞

Ow I couldn't help call and hope someone would update me. Same information again that new claims are taking the full 20 weeks to process and it's in a queue for DM xx

Just taking a spot on the new thread....scan date 16/4 so a very long wait ahead congratulations to anyone that's had an award this week. The wait is horrific!

I sent in about 4 extra written pages on behaviours ect. 4 or 5 different reports from his consultant at camhs, medication list and the different diagnoses already confirmed, copy of referrals to salt, specialist therapy at camhs and confirmation of paperwork being sent to panel for autism. On the form I also listed consultants, the school senco, base 25 worker, youth worker and social worker so if they choose they can call them too x

Sounds like they are telling us all different 🙄

I doubt mine is actually with DM tbh I think they were telling me what I wanted to hear 🙈 xx

Is anyone else going through an autism assessment with a girl? Wondering if anyone is having similar experiences with masking at school and then aggression at home? My 8 year old attacks me after school and before school and looking for ways to try and minimise this

Just called, had a lovely woman called Sharon who was so nice and helpful and went through everything! First thing she asked after the security questions was have you not had a text yet?
One of my claims has been awarded the other is with a DM, and it is a different DM to the awarded claim.

Scan date 23/02 awarded today 14/06 - LRM and MRC backed to 24/01 giving a back payment of £2058.50 due in the account by 18/06.
Next payment then due on 16/07.

You've got loads of evidence hun, how old is your child? Xx

Yes im going thru the exact same thing with my 4 and a half year old daughter xx

Yeah I've no idea how they made a decision so soon.

My COC was for night time care needs and they basically refused it and said that bed wetting and wandering / sleep walking can adequately be managed with aids.

I've got a MR filed at the moment to challenge this.

Nightmare :(

Yes we had autism assessment with the oakdsle group last friday and a parent telephone call (2 hours, it lasted) the week before. Report to come in next few weeks

She is five in July.

It was the school who referred her (with our input).

She doesnt get agressive that often often at home. ( will bang her head on the floor or cushion if not getting own way).

What other issues, have you had ?

Just give them a call and say your case was made priority but you have things to send in do you have time, it will be interesting to see if they say a month again because I’ve seen others be awarded in days with priority but they’ve told us a month, what’s your scan date? I’m wondering if it’s because my scan date is in May why they’ve said a month

Congratulations to everyone awarded ❤️ today 🤞 to all of us still waiting xx

Has any march dates been awarded yet / NOT PRIORITY ones I’m dreading this wait I think I won’t hear till October September time called for forms 2/5 scan date 22/5 I already feel like I’ve been waiting a life time 🤣😩😩 xx
