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.

Scan date 27/06. Just received a letter letting me know that we've been awarded higher rate care and lower rate mobility. I was awarded on the 7th. I didn't receive a text and I'm so surprised the award letter arrived so soon. Back pay due tomorrow. Good luck to everyone still waiting.

Fingers crossed for you! I’m so tempted to call but will wait untill next week I think x

I’m surprised got my award letter today I already knew backpay due tomorrow just never heard of the letter being so quick 😂

good luck everyone still waiting

Thank you! And you too. Give them a call the women I spoke to was surprisingly lovely. I do get it though, waiting to get through then speaking to someone that’s got no compassion and hates there job just puts me off and sends my anxiety mad. But fingers crossed we all hear something soon 🤞

Hopefully they got through a few at the weekend and they start to play catch up! Maybe I’ll cave and phone Friday 🤣🤣🤣 I’m child free Friday night so
maybe a night to celebrate 🤣🤣 xx

Hi Lovely, I was just wondering did you send in your daughter diagnosis letter before decision? My daughter was diagnosed with autism at the end of October and we are still waiting for the report, I’m just wondering if mine will come in time and if your diagnosis letter helped with the rates you got?

hope that helps xxx

Hey hun no I was worried because I’ve still not had diagnosis letter. I sent all appointments, report from nursery and tried to fill out the form as best as I could.
Rang paediatrician this morning to try get something sent over as I thought I would be declined and they said they couldn’t needs to be signed off.
I also sent in a week or 2 ago melatonin and more updates but they confirmed today they haven’t received that. So it was just based on nursery report, my report and the appointment letters.
hope that helps xxx

I’m sure on the DLA form it asked if u wanted to apply for mobility and that’s what I said yes too. I will check with them if we have to fill it all because that doesn’t make sense.

that form is stressful but I have more information and evidence to support it so will need to send that. I don’t think u will lose ur HRC if u do it.

Thank you I literally screamed down the phone! Xxx

Just incase others aren't aware even if you've asked for a text it's not guaranteed as not all dm's can send them. With my dd who was awarded in July they had it on the system I'd asked for a text but I still didn't get one. I thought it was bad enough waiting then and she was awarded at 16 weeks.
So pleased for everyone who has been awarded 😊

Thank you x. Do you mean when you request the form? Or it's on the form itself .When I requested the form,I told them it's only for mobility and I got exactly same form. The only mobility question I see from my understanding is question 43 -53.i am not sure if that's all ...thank u so much for helping x

Hi guys, new here. S/D 06/08 MR. I called DLA to mention further evidence and was put through to a case manager. She took down my evidence and said they are currently working on MRs from the middle of June but I’m sure I’ve seen July MR decisions on here 🧐

You just fill in the part that you are applying for. If there’s an additional notes section, I would also mention it on there why you are only filling out the mobility part.

My son has hrc and lrm. He was awarded that before we had his diagnosis.

I wasn’t given the form so it looks like it’s being returned by snail mail. I’m not expecting a response until the end of next week now 😫. I’m writing this week off x

Absolutely! Only 2 hours sleep last night again as mind was racing 😴 but my daughter was struggling too lost of the night so that kept me up too I'm like a zombie today xx

Scan date 2/7
ive had 2 phone calls today from dla asking about my sons needs (age 13) and that it would be looked at today 😃 fingers crossed for good news.

😫😔

Update for 06/06 scan date, decision was finally made today, have to wait for the letter now but I am really hoping for the backpay before hand to know it’s an award and not decline! Good luck to everyone who is still on this long journey xx I will update either way with the outcome 🤢

.

Don’t get why they tell you they can do it and then they can’t! They accepted mine Friday as urgent so just on the phone to them now to check. Will let you know what they say. How annoying for you

Anyone heard scan date 3/7, feels such a long wait!!!

Sd 3/7 just called got through right away man said its pending a decision I asked if that ment with a decision maker and he said I can't tell you if it is or not has anyone else had that I'm confused as I would of thought pending a decision would mean it was

Apparently my claim was sent over to the Case manager on 7th Nov as urgent as been 21 weeks but still no answer. Been told different stories when calling too, completely fabricating things to get you off phone and cause unnecessary worrying. I'm fed up now exhausted
