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.

So no one with SD of 25/06 been awarded yet 😕

Well mine is 24/06, rang, they said its with the decision makes, the decision hasn't been finalised yet which is a new on me, she said you should hear soon.

Am 24/6 and it’s not been looked at yet

Good luck, how long have you been waiting

Id have to ring back and hope I got someone more helpful. Hope it's good news for you xx

Best of luck, can I ask do you have to attend etc? Or just send in evidence for a panel to look at? Xx

Depends if your child's needs have changed, it's nothing to do with a diagnosis if that makes sense, Aits all about their needs compared to a child of similar age

Will they tell you the decision over the phone? The guy made it seem like he couldn't tell me.

I've seen so many people be told over the phone accepted and refused x

SD 25-6
rang today and not even with a DM yet but told it’s at the top of the holding pile so fingers crossed 🤞 I’ll hear something soon

19/06 - same 😰

19/06 SD First timer.
19 weeks tomorrow and not heard a thing or got any useful out of the DLA as of yet.

I rang today and they wouldn’t tell me where I was or if it was with a decision maker just to ring back on 06/11. Last week everyone was working on 18 weeks + 2 days seen some way after mine being awarded other people have had to wait over 20 weeks just seems luck of the draw at the min. I just want a decision now so I know what I am dealing with 🤣

I'm same day as you, I rang Friday to see if they had received my extra evidence and it wasn't with a decision maker rang yesterday and it was with one. Didn't want to ring today but I may ring tomorrow to see if a decision is made. I'm on pins. Hopefully this week or next you will here something

So I rang just before close. Happen to be in Berlin but I couldn't wait any longer 20 week mark next Tuesday...
It was decided 4 days go! They said can yiu wait for the letter, i said no so they transferred me to someone who could tell me. She got it! HRC LRM, I never thought she would get it! Back pay should be in by Friday!

Amazing news. Congratulations ❤️

how long did you have to wait for tribunal date? Please keep us updated. Hopefully all goes well with your outcome x

It’s so lovely reading all the positive outcomes, seems we are well into June dates now! Coming to end of October, November will probably hear of more awards from July and so fourth!

just a reminder if you post your outcome please post Scan date aswell. As it helps others with dates close. I hope everyone is keeping well this half term, I know it can be quite an isolating time for us carers x

I really hope so 🙏 I was tempted to call today but I was too scared lol will you please let me know what they say if you call tomorrow please

Wishing you the best of luck x

Same scan date as me. I called today to add more info and she said it’s with someone now and to wait 2 weeks. I did request a text but who knows. I hope you find out soon and it’s positive x

I am so sorry 😔. Please don’t give up x

Why is there such long waits for everything 😂
obviously I’m waiting for DLA, scan date 12/09 so still probably about 13 weeks wait for that.
Now got my sons CDC referral accepted by them and told it’s a 45 week wait for an appointment and then extra wait on top of that for autism assessments.
just feel like we’re spending all our time waiting and counting down days which I’m hating as I’m literally wishing Christmas away. Thinking let’s get Christmas out the way and it won’t be much longer 🙄🙄

Sd 12 july
Called today and Been told I should have decision by the 29th November this is a change of circumstances aswell

My 9 year old DD has just been accepted for medical needs tuition from our LA and they’ve agreed to a needs assessment for an EHCP.

Is this worth adding over to her application? I only sent it off a couple week ago so have plenty of time!
