DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 48

[OneGreenBird]

Time for a new thread ready for another week of waiting.
Hopefully lots of us get the results we're so desperately awaiting 🤞🏻❤

Hi everyone, my daughter was awarded yesterday at tribunal. Does anyone know if they are still back dating cost of living payments for children whose claims have now been overturned? Thanks in advance x

Congratulations and yes you should automatically still receive the payment because you was technically still entitled to it I would contact them just to be sure tho xx

Oh yeah it makes sense.. you will get money owed to you and rent council tax will be paid aswell even if its got a stop onit they will reinstate it so I'd suggest you tell landlord or who ever you pay rent or if its only council tax that is a little delay not your fault and to wait as you will lose out of the money goes directly to them and you already paid them, if this helps 😊

Hiya, update on MR scan date 20/03 .... she has been awarded MRC And LRM im so happy I cried! She deserve it so much, and it's such a big relief after 33 weeks of waiting and being told no
I hope there is a lot of awards today! Good luck to everyone still waiting ☺️

Yes thankyou so much I’ve informed them all of what’s gone on and their very understanding so 🤞 this all gets verified and sorted ASAP I’m trying not to worry but it’s all so stressful thankyou for your advice cx

Do u no by any chance when a claim is priority how long it roughly takes for the decision x

Haven't posted in days my sons outbursts have increased, hes hitting me roughly every 10 minutes now and has also hit a boy in nursery who was in "his space" 😫 and also his 1:1 (ive updated DLA with this information)
Ive missed a load of award posts so congratulations to those who have been awarded so far. Its so lovely to hear you've all finally got what you deserve ❤

Just rang on the off chance something would of changed. Im 14 weeks and 5 days and just couldn't wait until Thursday which would of been the 15 week mark 🙄
37 minutes on hold ffs but when she answered she told me it was with the decision maker and I should hear something in the next few DAYS 😬
I really didn't expect that... Heads all over the place now!
My scan date is 28/3 so very fast turn around for me by the looks of things..

Congratulations!! Did you have to call up to find out or did you get any sort of text or phone call?

Update - rang today and my daughter got middle rate care for two years. No mobility as she isn’t 5 yet. Does anyone know how the back pay works and when roughly that should happen ? Also how do I apply for mobility when she’s 5

Good luck! That's my scan date but for MR so not sure if time scales are the same but hopefully not too long for us both! Keeping everything crossed!

Thank you! They don't text you for MRs unfortunately I rang up I couldn't wait any longer! And had to ask to be put through to someone who could give me the decision ☺️

This sounds exactly like me and we've been awarded mrc last week.

Does anyone no when claim is made priority how long it takes for a decision to be made thankyou in advance x

Ahh its so nerve wracking isn't it 😬
Thank you for your support, I really hope you get a answer soon too! Fingers crossed for you ❤

If you’re child is under 3 they will send a claim pack 6 months before but can only claim HRM. They will do the same before 5th birthday but then you be entitled to LRM.

Lovely news 🥰

Hi all.
I'm currently on week 9 of my MR. First applied in January and got rejected end of April.
I highly doubt he'll get awarded with the MR but I can only hope.
What's the process after this of he gets rejected again, tribunal? What happens there, where is it usually and do you attend?
Just need to know what I may have to do after this.

Many thanks

Great!good news for you!! That makes me feel better!! Thanks for replying! Xx

Hi, I don't know the answer to your questions but just wanted to say sorry you're going through this 😫 its disgusting that anyone should have to fight for support for their SN children.
I genuinely hope things go your was and don't reach the point of tribunal ❤

Thank you, tbf everything with my son has been a battle, so it's expected. He masks at school so never had any support from them, he does have a diagnosis but that's all I have x

Does anyone know if they ask for birth certificate it means they're looking at the claim? Thanks

They asked for the birth certificate early on for confirmation of details. It’s normal, you usually send original and send it back to you. It’s routine. It doesn’t mean they are looking at your claim x

Ok thankyou for the reply 🙂

For what back date in uc or dla?. I no on uc it really depends on the area and how long of a back log there is in that area.. some areas are done same day some take weeks or if its been picked up properly.. sometimes they not passed to be delt with straight away they sit not been passed over till end of week as thats what some case workers are like.. but that is my job to read logs and listen to calls to see what mistakes are happening, how well they doing the job, what needs improving, attitude of them alsorts really.. hope this helps 😊

Thankyou and Dla? Mine was made priority today x
