DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 47

[Matilde08]

💐💐💐🫶🏻

I always doubt myself and think I've got something wrong so its nice to see you totally get why im baffled too 🤯
Im hoping his maths was just a bit off and it doesn't mean anything because an extra month added on would be so painful!
Thank you for replying ❤

Hi 👋🏻 I know 😢

See, its unbelievable isnt it!
What is just a date to them means the world to us who are waiting everyday, counting every second.
Hopefully he's just got it wrong like you said 🤞🏻
Thank you so much, I wholeheartedly hope the same for you ❤

They told me same thing SD6/3 before priority was made yesterday they said that it’ll be August that a whole month added on they say said the date it’s opened is when they go 20 weeks from not the scan date but they tell different stories everyday 😂

Can anyone please advise regarding UC? My daughter was recently awarded DLA which now means I have two children in the household on high rate DLA. I have been trying for days to amend things so that I am the carer for one and my partner is the carer for the other, therefore we're both entitled to the carer's element. I have confirmed via the phone with them that this is permissable, however, when I go to register a change of circumstances via the 'children and other people that live with you' option, it only allows me to choose one of us as the primary carer for both children. When I try to register it under the 'caring' option, it just directs me to a 'contact us' screen and tells me to comment on the journal. I've commented on the journal multiple times now and I'm either getting ignored or told I need to register it as a change of circumstances - which, as above, I can't bloody do! Argh! Please help 🤣

Hey, I think it’s because you need to sign into the other partners account to do it, it says contact us because your already down as caring for someone

What evidence did you send hun xxx

Does anyone know if cm's ring off a orivate number??? ive had a missed call but no voicemail was left xxx

@Shazzle88

School health team support letter
Paediatricians letters
SALT assessments
SPA referral
CYPS referral
OT report
Copies of his therapy and counselling letters/timetables
Support letter from school and loads of info in his claim form with a letter from myself x

What was their reasonfor only giving you low rate care?? I dont understand how they only gave u that when uve got so much evidence and your child has so many needs xx

We tried on my partner's account too ☹️

Im honestly gob smacked xxx

That’s really strange, I’ve recently done it for my partner so now we have a child on each one, I wonder if they’ve added it when you called, does it say anything on your journal about carers being updated? Because the message your getting is what showed on mine because I already had a child on mine but my partners I was able to change that he was caring for her

Does anyone know if this is enough evidence feel like I have barely any with my daughter compared to my son ,, my girl masks alot in school but somethings have even noticed I have finally recieved both copies of referal forms for the SCP (autism assessment pathway ) awaiting acceptance this was only sent on Monday so will take a while to be accepted , I have 2 speech and language reports and also her IEP (individual education plan) she has traipse of autism and extreme adhd traipse adhd referal is being done at age 6 this is stated and school filled in the someone who knows the child part ? I’m only 8/9 weeks in so still a while to go but so worried because of the holidays and things that they won’t get round to it till summer holidays and because of barely any evidence that they may hold off till speaking with school which means more likely be September October time when we’re 20 weeks 😩😩😩 this wait is horrendous and I’m getting so worried now it’s going to be declined x

@Shazzle88
I only got the text today and rang for rates, checked the gov website again and he fits all criteria for middle so i started the process by phone, they wouldn't tell me reasons said i have to wait for the letter, so i will wait but preparing my own letter to support the MR in the mean time. I was surprised too if im honest, i see posts of people not sending enough evidence in and not filled forms out to the best of their ability and given MRC, i'm gonna stick at it though and see what comes of it, he's entitled to it and it would come in useful for help with home schooling resources etc so gonna be patient and wait it out xx

Don't know if this helps anyone

Hey guys..
The woman that told me my son was awarded yesterday said that the back pay should go in today but I didn't think that was right..
Does anyone have any ideas on what day it could be?

3-5 working days for back pay 🙂

Thanks hun. That sounds a lot more realistic lol x

Anyone know????

Seen more march dates being rewarded on FB yet seems like. Still. A few from Feb sd5/3 hoping decision soon

I would say your backpay would be Friday

I’ve been told before by a call handler that if a dm calls you they will always leave a voicemail saying that they will call back again later

@Shazzle88 i cant speak for all but ive been called twice and both were numbers with voicemails.

Ooh this is interesting
