DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 56

[Ceb2018]

DLA waiting times continue from thread 55

@PollyH3 did they contact your daughters school or anyone x

Hi 👋
New claim 08/08. Not expecting to hear anything till end of December but thinking Christmas might push it in to New year. Starting to doubt if I wrote enough now to decribe additional needs and care but it's the waiting that makes you question everything. Hoping school being supportive and starting to get referrals in place will help. Good luck to you all 🍀

I applied under SMI. Added it in the comments on the coc and they completely disregarded SMI and only looked at VUW. I then did a statement against each point of the chart specifying i want it looked at SMI and again under VUW and told them where in the evidence to find everything.

It's date you requested forms if you rang up for them, my SD is 14/08 but I rang on 29/07 so will get backdated to then......if claim successful. I double checked this when I rang.

@SKB12 i think you must be reasonably local to me as I think RISE is just CWPT but I could be wrong

Just seen another award on FB for 16/7, I feel like it’s declines for my boys 😭

Hopefully some more positive outcomes this week! It seemed to really slow down towards the end of last week! Also don’t feel less hopeful if you haven’t received a text as half the time they don’t even send them out! Just remember as long as you have stated the care need that go into your child at home or school then it should be fine! I didn’t send anything from my sons school because they are so unsupportive and he masks at school I’m hoping that doesn’t work against me x

Think positive, not all decision makers send a text x

cov and Warwickshire isn’t it?
im seeing patterns of places😂 probs why we haven’t heard anything

Yeah, are you cov and Warwickshire too?

I am indeed

Is anyone south west based?

No, just went from what I wrote on the form and what the teacher wrote.
My son's school are completely useless and I've been trying to get a meeting with his senco for ages now. So I've put down that dla can contact them but I don't hold out any hope that if they did they'd get a reply.

ive had a text to my little one qualifies! So so happy! I just feel nervous to find out what she gets, how long do people wait to find out

@Mum21056that’s amazing news! What scan date did you have?

Yes Bristol here 🙂

Congratulations ❤️

Congratulations, I’d just call them tomorrow and say you’ve received a text and you’d like to know the rate please. Ive heard If you go through option 4 they are more likely to tell you…

This is lovely news. Such a relief for you.

@PollyH3 my boys school is so useless! The senco is none existent. Gives all these great examples of what support they will give him and then they never follow through with it. It’s so exhausting advocating all the time for such basic things! Don’t even get me started on the school nurse either the amount of medical gas lighting that goes on is mind blowing. Rant over. ha sorry!

I hope there’s lots more good news tomorrow. Anyone that’s been awarded in the past few months, do you know how long UC are taking to process back payments?

I Haven’t but it seems to be really variable from days to months!

thankyou, I hope they speed up and so many more families find out sooner

thankyou, I will do this tomorrow, what a relief I hope so many families waiting don’t have long left to wait and get what they rightfully deserve for their little ones.
