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.

Hello all, scan date 06/06 - I know 😩
last week they sent a form back to me to re fill and send back which I did on the 29th Oct, I called this afternoon to see if they have received it however the lady on the phone said they are only just scanning in last Mondays post at the moment.

My friend just got rewarded for her daughter, suspected ADHD and didn’t send any supporting documentation. She got middle rate care and low rate mobility so I will keep my fingers crossed for you !

S/d 1/7 waiting for coc and applied for mobility now my son is 5. The last few weeks feel forever. Anyone been awarded near July yet.

S/d 12 th july coc got told to wait until the 29th November and they should have a decision

Yes I got told to wait til 18th. They keep saying il20 weeks but seen on here some people been awarded at 19

SD 12/8 new claim
I had a letter saying 15 week wait time but looks like taking so much longer

Yes lots been waiting 20+ weeks, they seriously need to change the letter 😆

@SweetSugarPlum It took them 6 weeks from me posting to receive, scan on and send back a birth certificate! They are weeks behind on adding stuff, everything is moving incredibly slowly!

Don't think I've seen anyone get awarded today. Seems to have been a slow weekend and a slow start to the week.

Hi.Ive had a message saying my child's dla being reviewed.
Is review the same thing as renewal?
Also is the review form the same as the original dla form I did for her, or is it one of these new shorter review forms like for pip?
Many Thanks

I’ve never heard of this? How long have you been claiming for? Please not another battle in the world of DLA 😫

Sd 8/07. Doesn't seem to have been many decisions since the middle of last week 😫 really hoping they speed up a bit. 17 weeks today and feels like will be waiting the full 20 weeks for a decision.

We are also 2/7;
I.rang this morning was told to ring back if I'd not heard anything on the 16/11.
Keep us posted & good luck.🙏

S/D 25/06 My 6 year old got awarded today HRC/LRM. Suspected ADHD/ASD which is also highlighted by her school. Overwhelmed would be an understatement. ☺️☺️

Congratulations!! 🥳🥳 x

Scan date 3/7 - 18 weeks on Wednesday! Son has suspected ASD/adhd and showing signs of anxiety.

Only evidence I sent was supporting statement from myself, my mum (his grandma and the only person who really looks after him besides myself), a letter from the sendco, part of his ASD/adhd referral forms (from a previous ta - current sendco hasn’t completed her part yet due to a halt we came up against but this will be completed and sent of as soon as possible but unlikely before a decision is made), and a referral to paediatrics for growth.

the wait is awful and can’t help but think I don’t have enough evidence 😬 good luck to everyone still waiting 🤞🏻

This is lovely news that you got your award. Did dla contact the school after you applied?

12/08

Thank you ☺️ No they didn’t contact the school. Her ALNCO which is also her teacher and assistant head teacher filled out the part of the DLA form of someone who knows your child bit. We only know she was awarded by ringing this afternoon and was told a decision was made today. Good luck to you.

Thank you ☺️

Hi everyone, I’ve not posted recently because I’m trying my best not to think too much but have been on these threads since the 30s!

MR SD 13/06 21 weeks on Thursday. Just called no decision has been made and they’ve said to wait until 5th December when I hit 25 weeks to call again. I’ll be calling before then!

Good luck everyone still waiting on June dates. I just keep reminding myself I will hear before Christmas! 🤪
