DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 46

[Matilde08]

🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thankyou that’s good to no it gives me some hope🤞🤞I should hopefully also have evidence of acceptance of ASD pathway for her before my claim is dealt with and praying that it will all be enough evidence and I’ve gone into enough detail xx

I have just called in regards to sending new evidence . Phone was answered after 2 rings and a lovely man who was very helpful he even wished me a good day!

goodluck to everyone calling today x

Try and get some supporting letters and put in MR.
It’s so draining just trying to get our children the support they need. Fingers crossed you manage to chase it up!
if your child’s on any medication or any appointments with Gp… try asking the surgery for print outs? X

Has anyone who has already been awarded got a text if they asked to be texted the decision?

Is anyone 19/20 Feb still waiting for a decision?

How long has other people waited for uc backpay decision after it got sent to decision maker?

My sons up for renewal in September and I only received his form around 3 weeks ago.. hope this helps and hope you get sorted

SD 21/2 still waiting…

What were there reasons for refusing you? And how old is ur child x

So spoke to dla to be told they are going to chase case manager. So still waiting scan date 20/02

I'm 16/02 still waiting !

Same scan date. I'm still waiting too.. 🤞

16/02 still waiting. Rang on Tuesday and was told DM was working on it daily and just waiting on school to get back to them. I'm so bloody anxious. Spoke to the school and asked them to include the documented information regarding the meeting we had a few weeks ago. Dunno if they are going to and just say how good he is at school ! When on the documention off the school says he's been violent in class and Is getting 1-1 care with his teacher as well as mental health support and lessons. And the Senco is looking at speeding his ASD / ADHD assessment up. They've also mentioned that he now needs aids to help him function in class. It's a shame you can't email DM directly with added evidence. Think it would be pointless sending more evidence now 😒

@SB1994 it's ridiculous been told different things then told they are going to chase it. I don't think they realise the added stress it puts on us parents all we are wanting to do is what's best by our children.

@Tinxy 1000% every time I phone I'm told something different 🤦🏻‍♀️

@SB1994 I already had a huge argument with the school yesterday so was hoping today would be a better day but nope still fighting and arguing for my child. Sometimes wish others could see it from our point.

Me too.
Was informed two weeks ago that it was with a DM.
Called on Tuesday and was told I should hear by the end of the week.
Called today and was told I will hear by 'early July' 🫠

Just said she didn’t meet criteria. And a letter will be sent out on how I get apply for a MR and I needed evidence. And this can take an additional 12 weeks

Scan date is 23/04 and I had put on the forms that I was waiting for a letter from his appointment with the paediatrician on 11/03, and would send in once arrived.

I've finally received it today, and the information about his sleep isn't right- we said that his bedtime is 7:30pm, but he can be running around wide awake for hours. The report says he falls asleep in an hour or two, but can take longer.

Now I'm wondering if I should send it off, because it seems to totally contradict what I have explained on the form?

I've sent in a previous paediatrician report, ASD diagnosis report, Educational Psychologist report and about 10 extra sheets of additional info because I needed more room to write.

Should I worry about this latest report?

@UsefulZombie Ive just called was told with decision maker no other update they can give me on timescale other than hopefully not much longer but I will get a text

I would just write a note with the evidence stating what actually happens during bedtime,
I think it should be fine! you have other evidence to support your case

That's terrible! Are you going for a mandatory reconsideration? You should. I'm so sorry that's happened.

Thts shocking hun it horrible the struggles to get a girl diagnosed, do mr xx

i'm not sure but i'm in the same position.

I had a message from UC today to say my change of circumstances had been added correctly
and they had sent my case to a specialist team

• wonder if that means a decision maker?

Same date as me, hopefully not long🤞🏻
