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 🤞🏻❤

@Lindsey89 did you call?

Congratulations on your award a dno not yet I've had to. Come. Into work to. Discuss my options with my manager as more than likely I'll be coming out of work in definately until. Some. Sort of routine is I place for both my younger children I'm kinda too nervous to call now. Tbh. X

Congrats 🙌🏻 what was your date sorry my memory is so bad lol x

Glad you've been awarded ❤️ sorry you didn't get HRC though x

Is anybody else just completely fed up of waiting at this point I feel like cancelling the whole thing to get my good mood back! 🫣

Fingers 🤞

Yes!!!! I keep thinking what is the f ing point lol

Yes! I'm awaiting MR initial claim was put in in October and I feel like it's taken over my life at this point. Constantly doubting my evidence and I'm not good at articulating what I mean so I'm not even sure I make sense on my claim. Not sure I've got it in me for a tribunal either

Lovely news ❤

That’s good to know thank you for that.
I’m glad your child got awarded I’ve not heard of my many awards for hearing loss. His care needs are far greater than his age (8) he requires more than than his 5 year sibling I did sent his latest audiologist report and stated he’s on the waiting list for ENT but they are really dragging it out we have been waiting for 9 months now. I think I’ll take your advice and keep on to them!
thank you!
I hope you get the award from your coc that your child deserves quickly as I know how much this waiting impacts on us

How do you find out of your claim is with a DM? Every time I ask the call handlers tell me they can’t tell me 🤷🏻‍♀️
apparently claims are taking 15 weeks at the moment and my my claim is in process but no no formal decision has been made!
every time I get off the phone I end up not nothing nothing and even more confused 😂

I've rang still no decision awaiting his manager to pass it still

I have one claim awarded - HRC 🥳 I cried so much the poor bloke on phone was lovely and explained how much backpay I’ll get and told me to update UC when I get my letter so I have all the correct information. S/D 12/3

Extremely happy for you!!

That's amazing. So pleased for you.
Did you get a text or did you call?

I rang and it updated as he was looking. He went on to my other claim but that’s gone to another DM so said it’s a few days behind but I should hear by next week

thank you 🥰

Hi I wonder if anyone has any advice about how to go to the next step. I told UC of change of circumstances in may 20th as that’s when my son was awarded his DLA, I requested back payment for the disability and carers element and they still haven’t done it. They wrote on my journal that the deadline was the 2nd July (today) still no decision has been given to me. What do I do next. If I wrote a message on the journal they reply 15-20 days later with (it’s with the DM) but they are now going to pass the deadline they set and gave to me. I don’t know what to do next

1hr 20 mins to get through.
Still with a decision maker and she can't say how long it'll be until they make a decision.
SD 12/03, supposedly made priority on 21/06.

Mines the same bar SD 13.03! On hold 46mins so far

Hi I would say you are in financial hardship as it is taking the piss that, I did it and they sent it to the dm as a priority and UC have me backpay the next day

Hey call them. They will then give your work coach / case manager a deadline to respond to you- I’ve done this twice so far.. it’s the only way they reply

Oh god bless you, i feel my stomache is in knots just with the stress and anxiety this waiting for a decision is making .
did you get much info when you rang up?
but yeah im trying to hold off calling . Think ill wait untill after 16/07 before i phone as itll be over 15weeks then

They really are taking the piss now. I don’t get how they can say it’s been with a DM for 6 weeks. They added the elements onto the claim by time my statement was ready in June. I get my statements on the 6th of every month. So another month has passed and they still said they need to verify it? I don’t get what they are verifying when I get the elements

Honestly they gave my work coach a deadline on the 4th June, they got back to me on the 22nd June. I left 7 messages in between then and they still never got back to me

Ive got a scan date on 19/3 hoping it will be soon, i dont think ive ever been so worried over something
