DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 49

[zoeybrooks45]

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

Heya just a quick one as my minds baffled and I like to plan ahead 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

My award letter came Saturday and it states payments are every 4 weeks from the first Wednesday after entitlement which would of been the 21st Feb as awarded from the 19th feb, counting 4 weeks from then to now I'd be due a payment this Wednesday, but I only recieved back payment on the 2nd...so now I'm thinking when would that payment fall as I've also seen people say it's 4 weeks from backpayment ect.

Thanks

So have i!! I’m completely baffled by it too 😂🙄 xx

We can but hope🤣 awh bless her..the lack of routine and structure for my son makes him really struggle

That’s the same with my daughter 🥹 it’s so hard isn’t it I do think we will hear by the end of the week does your son have additional needs? Xx

I hope so
Nothing diagnosed on wait list with neuro as his behaviouris challenging, chronic idiopathic uritecaria and nocturnal enuresis..but I just have a bad feeling all this waiting and I'll be declined as I didn't have heaps of evidence just a few bits.. guess we will see

Aww bless him how old is he? I’ve never heard of those if I’m honest what it is if you don’t mind me asking ☺️
my daughter is ASD we think shes on the cahms waiting to be assessed since last October
we only have an additional needs plan and a cahms referral letter and her SENco filled out someone you may know so I’m not feeling hopeful either! Xx

Chronic hives which can be related to his meltdowns etc..we've been on wait list with neuro for over a year been told its a 4 year wait for assessment so it's a bit of a circle because the school can't fund extra support without diagnosis apparently frustrating..

Ah okay..well fingers crossed we know soon!

Your first payment will be 4 weeks from backpay usually. You will be paid for X amount of weeks till week before backpay. So I will say your date will either be 21/28 August.

Ahh yeah says to the 30th July so I'm going with 4 weeks from 31st as that's the Wednesday...this constant need to be organised 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Thanks

Good luck to everyone still waiting for a decision

17 weeks today 🎉😬

Hey 👋 anyone with same scan date as mine 29/4 xx

I'm 30/04! 🥰

think we will be at the end of August before we hear anything xx

So pleased I was awarded I haven't had the time to try ring and find out the award dates today but will definitely try at some point unless I can work it out myself atall. I just wanted to thank everyone who kept me sane during this wait and I hope everyone who's still waiting hears something soon x

How long after award date have people received back pay?x

If your on HRC they will consider mobility for 3 year olds either SMI rule or VUW rule

If you have evidence for mobility then they will consider it for 3 year olds but have to be on HRC either SMI rule or VUW rule

Hi , what is a SMI and VUW ? Also do you know what COC is too by any chance I have seen a few mentioned that as well , tried googling but got no results lol

Ive been told i should recieve backpay tomorrow. Got awarded friday. X

So I'm currently going through COC (change of circumstances) my son turns 3 next week and I want them to consider mobility under the SMI rule which is Severe Mental Impairment, he currently get HRC from my first claim when he got awarded at end of May, currently on week 9 of COC.
Put in on Google mobility check list for DLA to makesure you tick all the list to show your child could get it, it is hard to get. The VUW is (unable to walk) the rules are different for each way you get it

@GemzZ92 soo happy for you hun! We got there in the end! We was awarded 2/08 Friday also I believe so fingers crossed mine shouldn't be too far off now. I'm desperate just to be able to afford a new bed for my boy x

Anyone 12/4 that has been awarded a new claim? Thanks 🩷

Mines the 9th and nothing yet x

The wait is awful! I’ve seen dates after ours so I don’t think they do it in any order! 🤯 🤷🏻‍♀️ x

I was awarded Tuesday last week, had backpay Friday
