[HangryLimeBeaker]

Making a new thread as other one is getting full, come join the wait and drop your scan date 💜

How long are mr s taking please x

The same as a new claim so 15-20 weeks x good luck

Hi everyone.
First post.
I think its a bit early to be here
Scan date :21/06.
Anyone here with this date...
I know we still got a long way to go.

Good luck to everyone waiting x

I was told 20 weeks today. Anybody has experience with citizen advice filling in the DLA form? I am not going to attempt as I am dyslexic and dyspraxia and struggle to get my point across.

Aww another 18 weeks to wait for me then thats after waiting 20 weeks for decision the wait is just way to long ridiculous good luck to all that's waiting x

@Stacey0909 I've been wondering about you,How frustrating they won't tell you on the phone. My daughter's letter was dated 9th Aug and back pay went in on the 14th. Keeping everything crossed for you.

aw thanks 🙏 hopefully some news tomorrow

Is there anyone on here around the 29th April with an mandatory reconsideration please . Still havnt heard anything 16+3 days Xx good luck to you all

Update - SD 19/04, Decision made 16/08

just had backpay this morning. I think it looks like it’s high rate care and low mobility.
I sent absolutely ZERO evidence in so I do believe it’s definitely how you fill in the form and explain their care needs.

Good luck everyone still waiting! ❤️

Not citizens advice but a charity called contact helped with my application. I took all the evidence I had with me for her to see and she went through each question with me on the application. I explained my answers and she wrote it on the forms. Told me what evidence to include and what no to include. She said to always base your answer on your child’s worse day and avoid using the word ‘sometimes’

Good morning,

Woke up to a back payment today 😌

Requested forms 22/03
Scan date 18/04

If I've calculated correctly, I believe the decision was made 16/08 so we were 17+1 weeks from scan date.. 21 weeks exactly from requested forms.. I think we've been awarded HRC & LRM... I will just wait for the letter to arrive to find out length of award..

We received 2 letters in this timeframe.. I didn't call up at all.

This will make such a difference for my daughter..

Thank you for the support in this group, good luck to everyone waiting 🤍 Don't give up hope or fighting for what your children deserve x

Morning all, I submitted my sons renewal late and didn’t think it would be renewed by the time the current award ended but have today received a payment which seems to be a few weeks at low rate so I think we have potentially been awarded LRM along with the MRC we currently receive (we received our regular MRC payment last week so this is a top up). We’re away at the moment so not seen a letter and hadn’t received any text messages! If I’m right I’m so pleased! My son has Down syndrome and when we first applied for DLA we were refused and had to do a MR so I was really anxious doing the renewal!
Good luck all x

Congratulations to all who have been awarded.
good luck 🍀 to those still waiting. Xx

Just to ask, for those that have been awarded and on UC, how long did it take to recieve back pay from the elements on there once your child change of circumstances was approved?

Took us 3months xx

Scan date 17/04 son was awarded 19/08 lrm mrc. No message received but called today and was straight through and passed on to someone who told me the rates, payment dates and packpay amount!! Good luck those still waiting xx

Hi All,

I am new here after coming across this thread on google!

I have a scan date of 24/04 so waiting for an outcome for my child, I called yesterday and it has been with a decision maker for over a week now.

Good luck to everyone waiting for a decision :)

congrats 🥳 i was also awarded on the 19th - did they tell you what day you will receive your back pay? Xx

Congratulations to you too!!! I was told it would be most likely be tomorrow if not Friday or Monday.

That is very helpful thank you 💕😊

My scan date was 26/04 was told today its in que for DM and told to wait till 13 th September

Hi new here
SD 26/04

Not long now for you hopefully!!

we are the 23/4 and when I called yesterday we were in the queue for the DM. So fingers crossed for all of us waiting

Hey, I’ve been reading this thread for a while now my scan date is 21/04 rang two weeks ago and was told it’s not yet been sent to the DM, i just wanted to ask if I should send off the letter I’ve received for my daughters autism referral acceptance letter I’ve received today or just await the decision as it seems people around my date are being awarded!

any advice be helpful!

Hi!
