DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 50

[HangryLimeBeaker]

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

I’m the 23/4 and feel the same 😂 I don’t want to keep calling them but I know it’s with the DM so dread it’s a decline

Does anyone how long it takes for the DM to make a decision? I know they say officially 2 weeks but it seems some people get it the same day or the following day

26/04

Hi guys,

i have just had a txt to say my daughter qualifies.
SD 29/4 so they are getting through them xxx

I’ve been on hold 50mins 😒! Worried that their offices will close before they answer . Does anyone know if it’s 5pm ? 5.30 ? Or 6pm

I think it’s 5pm

Fingers crossed you get through!! 🤞🏻

Might be 5.30 if you're already in the queue!

Another 29/04 award. They clearly hate me! 😩

6pm it closes, hope you get through soon, good luck 🤞

I'm calling up tomorrow morning girls won't have time to call by 6pm😭 x

They clearly hate me too 😂 23/4. Must all have the same really slow DM

They need to get a wriggle on!

Did you get through?

So called today after send proof of nationality 🫣 was scanned on today. Told should have decision by 6th September (20 weeks)
But he did say could hear in next couple of days.
I'm taking that with a pinch of salt.. it's a different answer each time.. but hopeful I won't have to wait much longer 🤞 The wait is what drives you insane 😭

I’ve been stalking this thread for months and finally signed up so I could comment.
sd 25/04
was waiting for the kettle to boil earlier, saw the letter pinned up and thought I’d give them a call. Was picked up instantly at 4.45 ish. Asked a few security questions then told me a decision was made yesterday and would I like to be put through to someone who could talk me through it.
Again, call went straight through. Lovely lady told me my boy is going to be receiving mrc and lrm. Back dated to 10/04 and how much it’ll be. Told me my next payment date and even advised me to update uc and that I could look into ca. all unprompted!
good luck to the rest of you still waiting.

Anyone 27/4 ?

Yes and still No decision I called this morning!

I just checked my bank account and a DLA payment was sitting there. Based on my math, I think it’s MRC with LM or it’s LRC with HM 😂 either way it wasn’t rejected and I’ve not had any texts or anything. I’m wondering if I’ll get one? As it’s only 00:40am when typing this 😂.

Congratulations! What was your scan date?

LRC with HM isn't possible. You have to be in receipt or HRC for HRM x

Congratulations! When did you last ring for an update?

23rd April. I did assume it wouldn’t be LC and HM 😂 but the math checked out haha!

I called Tuesday 20th and they said was in the normal queue and hadn’t been looked at yet and then called this Tuesday the 27th and was told was with a DM. Based on what I’ve seen on this forum the payment can take a few days so I wonder if the decision was made later on Tuesday?

Fingers crossed to everyone who is still waiting!

It sounds like it must've been, as 3 days for payment is usual.

I'm bored of waiting now. I just want to know if it's sorted or if we have to start the hell again do an MR.

Just called up this morning and been told it's with a DM. They've added note on my account to text me if an award has been made (previous lady refused to do this)! SD 30/04 good luck everyone 🤞🏼 xx
