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 caved and rang before they closed. The decision had been made and the bloke asked if I wanted to be diverted to someone who can tell me more. My little one was awarded mrc! Nearly cried on phone when they told me. Hopefully you hear back soon and everyone else in June n July! Good luck everyone x

Congratulations so happy for you

Probably a little early yet but has anyone been awarded from 3/7, closer it gets the more panicked I am about it being a decline 🥴🤦🏻‍♀️ I feel we all think the same, especially towards the last few weeks.

This was the evidence I had from the school, do you feel this shows extra care? I was hoping my sons referral would be complete and sent of before this point but we have had a set back on this so won’t be done in time. 🥴 I have included part of the referral which I have from the ‘other professional’ which was completed by a previous TA but his current Sendco part of the referral I don’t have as of yet, just this letter.

I can see the pending back payment ds has been awarded middle rate care.
He's turns 3 next week so I'll be doing a coc and starting all over again.

My COC scan date is 10/6 so I’m 21 weeks this Monday. I rang Wednesday and today to be told both times it’s with a decision maker. I’m ready for a MR now. Another long weekend of not knowing.

What was your scan date. Congratulations 🎊

Wow that makes me mad!!!
My scan date is 19/6 not much after you, everytime I have rang they told me that it's "in progress" and to call back at week 20. 😩
How have they let people go sooooo long is beyond me.. the system they have clearly isn't working and it's failing the children in need.

I thought my scan date was 24/6 but it was actually 17/6.
Ds2 was awarded Mrc on Wednesday.

Do DMs work weekends ? Hoping for a miracle of being awarded over the weekend as seeing some scan dates the same as mine 25/6 been awarded today 😭🤞🤞🤞

My s/d was 24/06
And thankyou ☺️

Yes they do especially when they are so behind with claims.

Yes they work weekends, but the phone lines aren't open weekends though.

Wouldn't be unheard of to get a text at weekend xx

Praying I get my text over the weekend but I'm not holding my breath lol I really think it's a decline and now I'm panicking 😭

I spoke to a lovely man on Wednesday evening who said no news is good news etc, I definitely won’t be waiting the 20 weeks etc. But I found out yesterday that the DM sent a letter to the school on Wednesday wanting a report. So he lied to me 🤣. I’m gonna go well over the 20 weeks.

Oh no 🤦‍♀️ I'm gonna call Monday if I haven't heard anything over the weekend

Aww I hope you hear soon. I’ll be 20 weeks on Friday and not holding out much hope that the school will write it and get it back by then 😫

I'm ringing bang on 9am Wednesday morning at my 20wk mark 🤣🤣
I mean that's if I don't hear before, but I highly doubt it 🤣

How long does it take after you get the decision for payment sorry to ask x

Usually 3-5 working days x

My 20 week mark isn't until the 12th lol I don't think I can wait to call then 😅

Yeah think they're dragging it out now.. it's ridiculous, if still no answer Wednesday I'm gonna ask for it to be escalated to be done, there was another on here that scan date was 10th June I think they've been waiting 21 week 😭😫

Wow 😳🤦‍♀️ I really hope I hear soon my sons gluten and milk free diet is costing me a fortune 25 to 30 pound every 2 days and that's just for his snacks 😭

12 weeks for me today SD 12/8 new claim another long 8 weeks to go 😔

Sd 2/7 and still waiting. Good luck to everyone this weekend 🤞 for some positive texts and outcomes x
