DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 56

[Ceb2018]

DLA waiting times continue from thread 55

Totally. 28 weeks wow! I think the support on here really helps xx

Congratulations. I would be on the phone at 9am sharp tomorrow!

Yeah 28 weeks last year was really draining! But when you get the award at the end it’s worth it xx

Yeah I would normally, but I'm at uni all day tomorrow and don't finish until 5pm.

However my daughters DLA payment hits the bank on Tuesday so I'm hoping it will also have a back payment added.

This is the same with me. Had to stop working due to the school constantly ringing me to pick up my son (aged 5) constantly getting excluded. Now he’s on a reduced time table which is only 45 mins a day Monday -Thursday and I have to attend with him. The much stuff has been broken since him being home now. Have two other children too. Stressful

Oh this sounds so familiar, my boys are 5 too (plus 3 teenagers, 2 with additional needs). One of my boys was excluded 8 times in reception, he’s now in an intervention school for 2 terms. I can’t imagine how hard it must be without that break for you!

Yeah it’s tuff isn’t it.. Mine is in year 1 now but obviously doesn’t really attend only at 2pm for 45 mins had multiple exclusions in reception. I have another son who is 9 he’s waiting for an adhd assessment, and 3 year old girl. My 5 year old now has extreme anxiety when going into school for his 45 mins. make you think about what treatment they receive behind closed doors. Applied for an EHCP wish I’m praying he gets as then he can go to a school where people understand him and are trained to look after sen children xx

I hope he gets his EHCP soon!

hey guys nee claim sd 15th July so hopefully not long for a decision

Yay! Well done 🥳
we got awarded today as well, SD also 12/07! I’m so relieved and rooting for everyone who is waiting! 🤞 x x

Oh Fab !!!!
Did you get a text ?

No I missed a call this morning when I was getting the kids sorted for school, DM left a voicemail saying she needed some important information from me. She made her decision but wouldnt tell me, so I left it an hour or so and called and they told me on the phone! I was shocked as I didn’t think we would get it x

I'm so pleased for you.

What a difference it's going to make.

Same sd date hopefully I'll have my decision tomorrow

Amazing news 😁 congratulations 🎉

Thankyou!! I’m still in shock 😁 are you still waiting? Sorry I can’t remember, if so I have everything crossed for you 🤞🏻

I’m hoping it won’t be the full 25 for MR but you never know

Hope you get your back payment then. A good few awards today. Always nice to see x

Oh no! You’ve been so positive and supportive to everyone else. You can do this. You’ve come so far and even prepared for next steps which I hope neither of us will need to do. Honestly I wish they knew how these delays affect us, it’s so much more than just a payment. Stay positive, we are here xxx

I just want to say a thankyou to everyone in this group who kept me going for the last 20 weeks with support and advice and good luck to all of you still waiting to hear! Keep smashing it and fighting for what your children deserve. 💕

scan date 9/7 rang today for check on claim. Awarded mrc and lrm for two years! Over the moon for my boy, hope you all receive good news soon. Goodluck 🤞

I’m so happy for everyone that’s got awarded and will always support others. But these call handlers with their script saying at every opportunity that claims are done in date order when it’s not is a joke at this point. Never been so stressed in all my life I really can’t cope🤦🏽‍♀️

Good morning. Fingers crossed for awards today. I’m going to phone first thing (have a meeting at 9:30 so hopefully will get through) to get my MR decision. Yesterday I went through to the option for MR, is this the best one do you think?

I’ve seen that a lot of people have been ringing through to different options. Tbf the call handlers for MR aren’t as nice as the others😂

SD 17/07. Going to ring towards the end of the day just on the off chance if they were doing 12/7 yesterday and I’ve seen some for 18/7 on fb 🤷🏼‍♀️ expecting to be told the usual ring back after 20 weeks though!
