DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 54

[zoeybrooks45]

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

Called at 9am on the dot straight through I was basically told not to call again till the 18th. I’ll call again next Monday anyway. She wouldn’t tell me if it was with a decision maker or not just said it’s on the system.

Oh no. That’s rubbish. Our teacher has told me since week 1 that she has noticed stuff and has some concerns. I felt the need to apologise after being told that after a couple of days of starting in reception! I’ve got my fingers crossed for you.

Anybody else hate the way the hold message seems to cut off before she finishes speaking...as if she's meant to say put you through to someone as soon as possible but it gets cut off at put you through, or is that just my brain 🤣🤣

Hello! Two claims here waiting!

1. Renewal for my DD, SD 06/08. Current claim ends 28/11 so fingers crossed for before then!
2. New claim for DS, SD 10/09.

Scan date 12/07 new claim. 16+3 weeks today and I just can't wait any longer, this has been horrendous. Only evidence was the autism diagnostic report from the private clinic. I don't know if they write to every school for evidence, but my son's school consider him to be absolutely fine because he masks. They never see any issues and they say he's fine, works well, has friends, is polite etc. He's the complete opposite at home. I'm worried they're going to ruin this for him.

Just called, took an hour and 3 attempts to get through but still no update 😢

Not sure if this is helpful for anyone, finally caved an contacted today. SD 26/06 for a new claim.
the man was lovely, he said they take out bank holidays on time frame so I’m just looking at around 19 weeks, it’s with the DM and I should here within the next week or so. He also said he was going to make a note that I’ve been in contact,

good luck to you all x

SD 11/7, new claim

My son got awarded HRC in 2023 without any diagnosis or any input from school. As long as you show on your forms that your child requires more support than that of a child the same age then all should be fine. ☺️

There hasn't been any bank holiday since August 26th this year

Sc19/07 nc

If it’s the same guy I’m thinking of, he’s absolutely lovely but says all the right things to keep you happy. I’ve experienced this recently!

Wondering if anyone knows how long it's taking for a tribunal date Ive been waiting about 6/7 months so far is so long

Sd 28/06
Just called and they said not with case manager but should be in next couple days and will definitely have a decision by 15th (20 weeks) fingers crossed before that

I called this morningSD 25/06 and he said he couldn't tell me in exact words it was with a DM as he's not aloud but he basically said it'll be any day now a decision is made as they're very far into the claim whatever that means

Sounds like they're saying anything now to get us off the phone 😂

MR SD 11/07… Almost week 17 🤞🏽

thats Amazing you’ve definitely sent enough to support, I just got a phone call off NDP and they’ve emailed me there letter off acceptance onto pathway, im just waiting on senco to send her referral with the supporting evidence on it from her self and teachers if they still have them they should shouldn’t they I hope anyways. And then that’s all I have I asked the lady as it’s been a year now and we should be moving on to seeing the paediatrician by end January she said it’s just all a huge wait and as my girl gets older her masking in public is like nothing I’ve seen but still she appears rigid while masking i just want her to be given what she deserves

They sure are aren't they 🤣 I asked to request a text and he didn't have a clue what I was on about he said he knows ill receive a letter but he knows nothing about texts 🤣

I'm 2/7 so hanging onto your posts :) Keep updating!!.. I called at the end of the week and got the standard "wait till 20 weeks before calling again" but everyone gets told different things so I'll definitely be calling again later this week. Good luck all x

I am sure school will still have all the bits they sent with the referral as I think they seem to save a lot of stuff electronically now too don’t they so should be some copies somewhere 🤞🏻 fingers crossed for you and that you soon get somewhere with progressing on the neurodiversity assessments. It feels a huge wait with everything!

Yeah the letter that gets to you about 14 working days later with snail mail 🐌

SD 28/08/2024 so a good wait yet.

I'm putting off calling until it's been 20 weeks which is Wednesday. Hopefully I can hold out that long 😂😆 unless I hear before 🙌🤞
