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 🤞🏻❤

It was the same for me I was told last week that it was being looked at and to phone back within two weeks if I’d not herd anything , maybe I should have gave longer but I rang the week after and was told it could be the beginning of august 🤷‍♂️ Not going to ring now for another couple of weeks by then I’ll be 18 weeks x

I’m already 17 weeks so hoping it won’t be much longer. I didn’t call until it was 16 weeks and it wasn’t even with a DM then 🥴 I know they get distributed to decision makers but they really should all go by date order (apart form priority obviously). It’s just one more added stress for families who are already struggling. I hope you hear soon.

I agree with you it should be by date order ,ideally,thanks 🤞we hear soon x

Iv been told that once on 28th june when I fist asked for update and again Monday when they said it was with dm and again yesterday when they said it wasn't with a dm 😭

Hi 👋🏻 we're the same SD and I've been told the same thing as you 😩 hopefully not too long for us all cos I know how everyone is feeling.

16 weeks tomorrow and was hoping to get a Decision before 15 week 😪

I’m 17 weeks tomorrow, I called today and a decision has been made but couldn’t tell me if it had been awarded or not as it was only an hour prior to my phone call the decision was made the systems hadn’t updated. No sleep for me tonight but you’ll be soon. Call tomorrow xx

Stumbled on this while looking into something for work.. hopefully it helps with understanding how dms work and where they get thier information from to award people, you need to click on the condition and it brings up information for them to go off

Can anyone confirm this is the right number to call please.0800-1214600 or is there another number.
I've called this one and never seem to get through.

Yes that one. Try to call at 9am

Does anyone know how long it takes to hear back once you’ve sent an MR in? Original scan date 20/02, I’m sending the MR in over the weekend

some waiting around 15-20 weeks on this thread. It’s seems to be the same wait as the first submission.

That’s crazy, it sounds like I’ll be lucky to get an outcome within the year at this rate 😫thanks for the info

Hi

parking SD 14/03

i have sent the form pass the dead line it was in February.are they going back date me if I get accepted .

I rang up yesterday and was told from a lady called yusra that she can’t tell me if it’s with the DM although last week a nice gentleman told me it’s with a DM and need to wait till they call the professionals I mentioned on my phone !

SD date buddy .good luck was told mine was with DM on Friday .
i called yesterday was told still waiting to be seen by SD 🥲

Unfortunately if your form was sent past the deadline you'll only get payed from your scan date

My SD is 14/03 too. Apparently went to DM on Tuesday.

Good morning and good luck everyone 🙏🏻

Morning lady’s is anyone waiting on a COC SD 26/03 or around this date and heard anything yet thank you ☺️

Hi everyone. My scan date is 11th April. I sent in extra evidence last week. lm going to give them a call monday to see if they recieved it. Does anyone have any rough idea on how long decision are taking please

@Mammymummymam I think they are telling people 20 weeks atm depending who answers the call.
Mine took just under 17 weeks.

Thank you. I assume they tell people longer to try and deter constant phone calls haha.

@Mammymummymam my SD is 03/04. I called yesterday and they said it with the DM and I should hear back by the 25th but I’m starting to wonder it they just said that to get me off the phone as i’m seeing on FB they’re currently awarding early march SD’s

Oh so if they are only on early march then we could still have quite a few weeks left.
