DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 51

[HangryLimeBeaker]

Last thread was getting full up. Drop your scan dates here!

For anyone that received a decision recently (if you're still here), how long did it take to receive the letter out of interest?

Normally a week, depends on post really, you normally receive back pay before the letter

👋 @HangryLimeBeaker have you received anything on UC for disability elements xx

What’s your scan date? And did you get an update? Hope it’s positive for you

@Loulou12321 no update I didn’t want to call back just going to wait for the decline letter s/d 15/05🙁

Ahh @Vicclou my Sd is also 21/5 but I’m trying not to call again. I hope it’s a good outcome for you xx

Anyone been giving a decision on MR as of late? I wanted an estimate for what dates are being covered. Hopefully not too long left for all those waiting xx

I’m going to ring back tomorrow, and see if I can get more information. I can’t take the wait x x

My MR is 10/5. Nothing as of yet x

Mine is 12/6. Been with DM since 2/9. Or at least that's what they told me then. Ringing them Wednesday to see if there is an update.

Good news! Scan date 21/5 - I rang today for an update - first call handler told me a decision had been made today but she could not tell me any more, only a letter had been sent in the post which will take 7-10 days to reach me.
I have read many posts on here and thought it - I’m going to call back - I rang back after about 30 mins - spoke to a different call handler who told me a decision has been made today and a back payment would be sent to my bank tomorrow!! She said she couldn’t break it down into what my son had been awarded but dividing what we should get into months it looks like mid rate care low mobility!
Sorry for super long post! I hope everybody around my scan date hears back soon!
ps I’m not going to believe it until that payment reaches my account!

Any COC around may or June heard yet? I'm 7/06 COC haven't heard anything yet

Some good news work up to a back payment in my account my baby got what she deserves I’m so relieved 😌 good luck everyone I really hope you all get what you deserve xx

19 weeks MR, still waiting 🫥 Would love to know what dates they are on 🙄

Huge congratulations to those have been awarded 🥳

Anyone that is waiting for a back payment and bank with TSB, don’t be too worried. They’re incoming payments are down at the moment

Hopefully won't be long for us x

never posted but I’ve been watching for awhile just thought I’d post, woke up to a payment this morning my scan date was 16/5. Not quite sure what parts she got awarded I can’t work it out aha but good luck everyone

Really hope so, but feels like we will be the ones actually made to wait 25 weeks 😅 😖

I'm 20 weeks Friday 😭 atleast we'll know by Christmas 🤣

Hello lovely’s can someone tell me how I update uc please do I need to wait for the award letter? Any help would be appreciated 😌

Just pop it on your journal. Tell them you’ve been awarded middle rate care and from when. You need to ask them to backdate the disabled child element as they won’t automatically do it. It’ll take about 4 weeks x

@Dunwaiting so happy for you! I bet you are so relieved x

MR date 03/05 and had back payment today. No call, text or letter yet but over the moon as I was expecting to go to tribunal so for anyone who is still waiting don't give up hope! Good luck to everyone that's waiting and please don't stop fighting for what your little one's deserve ❤️

🤣 Oh my, Christmas, It's so bad isn't it, how long we have waited 🫣 Well let's hope its a happy new year with good news, not starting right from the beginning again 😔
