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.

Update!!!!

SD 28/06
Rang them this morning and my daughter who is 3 was diagnosed with Autism on 17th October has been awarded HRC 07/11 will get back payment by Thursday she said.

So happy would be 20 weeks on Friday.!! Not long left for anyone else waiting for June.

I asked about HRM and she said I didn’t apply which I’m pretty sure I did same time so said wait for the letter to come and then contact them.

Good luck to everyone waiting hopefully not long left. Xxxx

No decison yet 😭🤔xx

I think I will try to call this week and ask if they received it and hopefully they have. I can't re send it, as they were all her appointment letters and outcomes from appointments and I did not make any copies.

Oh no! I'd personally start ringing round the places the docs where from and ask for further copies incase something did happen but you also might need them for a renewal etc xx

I saw this too. I rang first thing this morning though and no update. Really hope there's lots of decisions this week. I feel like I've been OK so far but this week I know I'll be really disappointed if there isn't any news by Friday

Fantastic news! I’m so pleased for you x

I know I feel exactly the same. It gets really hard when it starts getting to the time you’re expecting to hear

Congratulations,am pleased for you x. My dd is same hrc but no mobility .I was advised to request the mobility form which I have received but it's exactly same as the other one. I don't know the questions to answer or if I should answer all the questions again!...really don't know what to do.i don't want to go for MR so not to lose what he already have.its confusing. I thought it will be a difficult form honestly

Scan date 26th June told me Friday a decision would be made today, Rang up this morning and still not with a decision maker :(

I phoned and got told no decision has been made yet and to phone back at 20 weeks. I said that the claim had been marked as urgent last week (twice actually as the first one didn't do it when he said he had). He said its not showing anything and they can't mark new claims as urgent anyway in case it doesn't go in our favour. So back to the waiting for 20 weeks I guess 😔

I really wish they would all say the same thing 😔

Scan date 23/07

Firs time calling for an update, Usual wait 20 weeks before calling back, He did check for an update though & couldn’t see anything

Scan date 18th july

going to call for an update now

Is anyone else properly physically exhausted from thinking about this all the time? X

Hi everyone,

Been looking at all your posts for a while. My daughter has ASD and ADHD diagnosed. She already receives mrc and lrm however did a COC for the ADHD assesment and report. Scan date 06/08 so probably still a long wait for me!

Sd 02/07
they called me today, a lovely man asked a couple of questions. Awarded high rate care, low mobility till 2027. No evidence sent except a statement from school.

Lovely news. Congratulations x

Yes. It's making me ill, I can't sleep or eat, I'm losing weight, it's just horrendous 😢

Congratulations! 💕

Yes. They had all the evidence they needed. But still a decline. Looks like tribunal. He has hrc but needs hrm. I know alot of people have said it is hard to get. Won't stop the fight for him though x

Absolutely wish you the best of luck with it, go all the way I know I will be xx 🙌🫶

Oh no bless you. I hope you hear soon x

Please update I’m day after you x

Update just got through to them after waiting roughly 30 mins

was told it’s with a decision maker now. I asked the women how long it takes for them to make a decision and she said it could be a couple of weeks or a couple of hours but said she will put a note to send a text when they’ve made a decision as it’s quicker then waiting for the letter. Fingers crossed I hear back from them soon 🤞
