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 💜

@mamof3darlings and what about them actually adding on disabled child element? x

he got added on straight away but back payment took 3months xx

I'm 26/4 and still waiting too. It's been with a DM since at least last Tuesday.

I hope so, hate the thought of being rejected. Such a stressful process.

yes fingers crossed

xx

Im 17 weeks on Monday. It is seriously dragging, the frustration of not knowing is playing on my mind alot now. If it's a decline again, just tell me so I can take the next step ☹️ These extra weeks waiting could potentially be a good few weeks into the next stage if only I knew now 🫠
I will give it to 18 weeks and If I hear nothing will call again 🫣

I'm going to call again Friday and then every Friday from then on. It's just frustrating. 16 weeks to get a decline first time round and now this wait 🥺 I just need to know yes or no!! X

Scan date 16/5 anyone else had a decision still waiting! Xxx

Hello,
I did my MR over the phone, lady was lovely she Said 25 week wait etc however, I received my MR letter and it's says an 11 week wait! You would think they could update the paperwork? It's just torture. If it's the full 25 weeks it will be nearly a year from first applying. 😒

Good luck everyone

I think they still working on end of April dates and beginning of May dates, hopefully a few weeks away for yourself

I'm on nearly week 16 of MR. Was told 8 weeks at the start, then 11 weeks, then 15weeks and now 25 weeks. Apparently an influx of MR has caused a massive backlog 🙄

I really hope you get good news🤞 I will be doing the same every week if there is no update the next time I call. It's crazy to actually think how long this take 😔

Thankyou hopefully not too much longer it’s just all such a long process dla paediatricians assessments like parents wouldn’t be fighting so hard if we didn’t believe our children needed the help! Xxx

Please keep me updated when you call, hope yours is good news too x

We got one of our boys awards last week but waiting for our other boy with a stamp date of 3/5. Called Tuesday so trying really hard not to call again but today is 17 weeks 6 days the same point we got a yes for our other boy. Just have this feeling we won’t be lucky enough for both boys to be awarded first time. Even though they have the same issues and very similar care needs (moderately deaf in both ears).

Scan date 03/04. Awarded 30/07. (17 weeks)
MRC LRM. Wrong rates.
Royal Mail showing MR delivered 21/08. MR scanned 21/08.
Called just now to confirm and told “at the moment” it’s 25 weeks wait for a decision. They said it can fluctuate but at the moment it’s 25 weeks to wait for MR.

So my next question is what do you all want for Christmas? 🫠😂

An answer from them now 😂

Good answer!! 😂

Just on the phone to CA as applied for that 31/07. 5 weeks 2 days. Honestly how I haven’t lost the will to live is beyond me 🙃

SD 16/5
Have been following for a few weeks and am starting to go crazy.
Just called and ignored the automatic message to say call after 20 weeks. Why not send a letter after 15 weeks to say there is a delay??
Spoke to a man called Mark whom would not give me any information where the progress was and to be frank sounded like he didnt care. He did say its 20 weeks due to demand.
I dont know why some of us are getting info and some not. Im going to call again tomorrow and if i dont get any info then im going to ask to speak to a manager. It be a different story if they were chasing us for something.
sorry for the rant.

Are you using 1523 option? They give you the most info

I’m sure it was 😔

🚗 scan date 12/08

been watching this thread for a while. For anyone with a scan date for May

Scan date 07/05
awarded 05/09 😁

How did they let you know? Text message? My scan date was 10/05, so it’s getting very close 🤞 I’ve seen someone one FB awarded with a scan date of 20/05 today!

@Mummyoftwoboys2024 i called yesterday and they said to wait until 24th but would request I received a text message when it was done. Received the text today.

Congratulations! I haven’t ever phoned but I might do soon. It’s 17 weeks tomorrow since my scan date x
