DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 49

[zoeybrooks45]

Another thread, post your scan date and good luck to all those awaiting outcomes. ❤️

I did the same Wednesday and was told a case manager would call me within 48 hours and they didn't. I called yesterday afternoon about 4pm and the call handler took the info over the phone. Don't know why they couldn't do that Wednesday x

Hey its nice to hear from you i hope you have been okay. and yeah i do have imstagram, give me your instagram in private message and i will give you a message ☺️ honestly i feel the same way i dont really have anyone i can talk to about all this stuff i mean i could but they wouldnt be able to relate to it or even begin to understand . So deffinitely send me a private message on here and ill send you message on instagram x

@Brittany95 I wish I knew how to message privately 😩x

Hey they still haven't changed mine so I wanna know too

Im going to presume your on your phone Iff you are scroll to top of page youll see like a little person logo in top right corner press on the and itll come down with options - Notifications , Private message ect . Iff you click on private message you should see i have sent you one then click on it and can reply on there ☺️

i dont mind when UC get it sorted as i know it can take time to sort out ect but its just nice to know these things. I mean i might just be completely stupid and not be understanding the info ive read
But i guess we will just have to wait and see haha.

i got a message yesterday morning on my UC journal from a guy name Brian saying due to recent change of circumstances i have to accept new commintments by date shown on my to-do list otherwise i wont be paid or be entitled to UC.
i looked in my to-do and it was empty but scrolled down on my journal and it states 01/08/2024 9:20am Accept New Commitments Completed. So i messaged back and explained all of this yesterday morning and not heard anything back all day so i even sent the same message again at 7:30pm last night . But that was because the first message i put down as “message for work coach” and as they day went by i decided at 7:30pm to sendd same message again but clicked the option “ about a payment” as i have no idea what option im meant to click on when leaving a message in my hournal now as i most likely dont have work coach due to being classed as carer now . Soo stressful but hopefully it gets sorted for us both soon x

Yes , I feel like my husband is getting harassed since I put in that my son is getting HRC. They want him to put in another 5 hours of work and he's already told them he will but they want an appointment every few days . I'm a full time carer for my son so I don't need to worry about that, but my husband does. Hopefully it gets sorted soon xx

Oh my an appointment every few days is insane , i hope it gets sorted for you both soon 🤞🏻

im a single parent and now im getting HRC for my son im now classed as his full time carer by UC so its something i dont have to worry about either.(just waiting for UC to sort out the disabled child and carers elements, but i have only just beed told my son was awarded this week so probably have awhile to wait yet). but i really do hope everything gets sorted for you soon hun xx

the 200 one is for MRC/LRC and the 400 one is for HRC. You should be entitled to the higher element. If you don’t work or earn less than a certain amount you can also apply for careers allowance. If not entitled you can also claim careers element under UC. If you have not heard back in a week, I would advise you to call up and chase. They take forever with the backpay.

thank you soo much for replying thats good to know, ive requested both the disabled child element and carers elemnet of UC.
and oh brilliant thank you for letting me know that i will deffinitely chase it up . Im going away tomorrow untill friday so think ill chase it up the following week iff ive not heard anything

29th April originally done from 15th feb x

Ahh okay, we our like a may 31st so bit of a wait for us I think. My son now needs glasses high prescription for his age which affects him in many ways. Also the nursery have applied for 1-1 funding for him,

He’s just turned 2

Was this for mr ? X

Yes for mr

Hi I had that letter too on Wednesday last week , SD 16/01/24 MR date 7/7/24 , I sent extra evidence off called two weeks later to make sure they had it and while I was on the call I was informed that anything from first week of June won’t be looked at until September.

17weeks tomorrow. No assigned to anyone yet been told to ring after 20 weeks if not heard anything..

Iv just been told the same. I was told twice it was with a decision maker, rang today and they said its waiting to be assigned to someone.

Same here.. was hopeful it would of been assigned to someone as a lot of people are awarded around 17 weeks...

Good news for me finally. Scan date was 5/04 I rang this morning I was told my son has been awarded on 2/08/24 and would be back paid from 8/04/24. They are unable to tell me over the phone the rates for my child which is really unfortunate and I’m not sure why and he said that I will have to wait for the letter but said the letter should be with me in the next 10 days depending on Royal Mail. I'm currently crying my eyes out. Took 17 weeks x

Me too. I wish everyone just told us the same thing as being given conflicting information all the time is what gets me extra worried. I was really hoping to get a decision this week based on being told it was with a decision maker, so now feel deflated again

So happy for you!
I rang this morning to see what my boy had been awarded....i got through straight away. Think i was too in shock to listen to all the info she was saying so had to ring back up to see when he had been awarded from! Phone cut off twice but the call hander was great and rang me straight back!
Hes been awarded mrc lrm....i only really expected lrc or maybe mrc. Over the moon for him i really am! Xx

congratulations on those awarded today! 🙏🏻🎉

17 weeks tomorrow just rang up to see how it was getting on they said it’s been processed at the moment not too sure what that means 🤦‍♀️

Nearly at week 13 for my MR, it's all I'm thinking about again!!
This has been a long 7 months 🥺 original scan date 8/1, MR date 10/5 x

We got awarded bang on 17weeks.

Id rang 2 days earlier to see if i had time to send an extra piece of evidence and she said i had plenty of time as it hadnt been assigned to anbody. 2 days later i recieved a text to say my boy qualifies.

Good luck xx
