DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 52

[zoeybrooks45]

Hello everybody, I have made a new thread please put in your scan date, hopefully we hear some good news this month 💐

we currently in the early weeks of June for decision, please be kind and feel free to share scan date, entitlement award and what child is diagnosed with as others in similar position can feel uplifted in these stressful time.

wait time are currently between 20-25 weeks. However most likely is between 18-22 weeks.

I swear they make it up as they go! What’s your scan date?

Brilliant congratulations xxx

12/07! Makes no sense as lots of Junes still seem to be waiting :(

SD 14/06 rang up again today, to find out my son has been awarded middle rate! They said once he has his full diagnosis to put in COC and it will probably go to higher rate.

When people phone, what options are you selecting to get told if you are in the queue ect. I keep getting the generic answer of ring back on 11/11
Sd 24/06
So close but yet so far. 😔

I press 5, 1, 2 and I get through pretty quickly

Yeah I’m 21st June and still waiting.

Congratulations to those who got awarded today x

Thank you xx I’m yet to find out the rate but I know she will definitely get the mobility component of Dla as I sent off all her hospital letters regarding her surgeries on her spine and ankles plus her solar and senco care plan , awaiting an autism diagnosis and sent psychiatrist reports for her mental health and proof of medication over

Great news 🎉 💖

I am made up for you it's nice to see some good news on her bless her xxx

Was yours a new claim or a MR? I’m 26/07 new claim so hoping it won’t be too much longer now. Xx

New claim, he said ring back in 2 weeks but I think I’m going to have to call tomorrow eve 🤣 I’m soo impatient!

Congratulations! It’s great to see they are doing some mid June ones our scan date is the 19/06 so renewed hope there may be a decision soon xxx

SD 14th June
New claim. Only evidence was school report for CAMHS referral - suspected autism
Received a text today. You need to phone them to ask to receive a text or they just send a letter which takes weeks.
I did ring and ask to find out the rate but they wouldn't tell me.
Good luck everyone x

Congratulations, great to hear of many June awards this week! Hopefully the momentum keeps going like this x

some decision makers must definitely work quicker than others. I’ve spotted a post on fb group new claim and scan date of 17/07 has been awarded. I’m the 26/7 so quite a while await for any decision for us😩

Even if you ask its not not all decision makers can and you receive back pay 3-5 days after award so you don't need to wait weeks and you can call to find out I know you said you didn't with no luck but you can and they will you got a unwilling person.

Fantastic news! So pleased for you

Made a new claim at the beginning of June, got fed up of waiting so rang them this morning (Scan date- 15/6/24) was told my son has been awarded middle rate care with lower rate mobility. Should receive the award letter soon. My son is 13 and had ADHD/ Anxiety. Feel like a weight has been lifted from me. Hope you guys get a decision soon ❤️ 🙂 x

Congratulations x

Called today they answered without even ringing.
Said it was in the top part of the pile, but couldn't say if it had been allocated or not? He said that I would hear back latest 5th Nov.

It’s so annoying as they don’t seem to stick to the same story with everyone
maybe if they did people wouldn’t keep ringing!
I was told yesterday they can’t see if with DM or where is it just that it is there? But others get told different
same with some people get told there rate and some do not and got to wait

SD 21/06. Caved and called for an update for the first (and last!) time. Couldn’t say where I was in the queue but said it would be any day now. Really nice and helpful man and as pp said, the phone didn’t even ring.

Also said I’d receive a text once a decision has been made as I requested one last week.
