DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 63

[zoeybrooks45]

Please feel free to add your scan date and whether it's a new claim/mandatory reconsideration/change of circumstances or renewal.
New claims (NC) - people are being told the wait time has increased to 25 weeks! I would say most are done before this though around the 20 week mark?
Mandatory reconsideration (MC) and Change of circumstances (COC) is around 20-25 weeks.
Renewals tend to be between 15-20 weeks.
If you disagree with the outcome of an MR you can appeal and go to court (tribunal)
Scan date is the date DLA scan your application forms on to their system, if you downloaded your application forms then this will be from when your award will be backdated from. If you called up for forms then the date on those is the date yours will be backdated from.
If successful and claiming universal credit (UC) please update them as this will entitle you to disabled child element adding extra to your award.

Nc scan date 25/09/24 newbie been checking daily for any dates close to mine! the dates seem to be everywhere so confusing…😩

Never too late. SD 6/9 and I posted extra evidence today. Yesterday I was told on the phone the case hasn't even been looked at yet.

Thank you. Hopefully it won't be too much longer for us both 🙏

NC SD 21/10th.

Same date as me, hopefully we’ll hear soon 🤞🏻

Thanks I think I'll mention it to senco just incase they call. Knowing my luck they will, even though all the info is there in ehcp and iep. I'm not convinced they read through everything thoroughly after what I've read on these threads. But fingers crossed they do 🤞

MR 22/1 ☕️

Been following these threads for months, but am finally getting near (I hope!)

NC SD 23/09

Worrying every day that I haven’t filled in it right or not enough evidence. I only joined the groups after I’ve done it and constantly thinking I focused too much on diagnosis rather than care 😭

30/8. I feel like they've forgotten us 😳😂

Any updates? Did you call up?

I can imagine, since people with a SC date a month later have got decisions. But it just depends on each case, and where it is being handled. It's like the wait is 25 weeks +/- 8 weeks.

@zoeybrooks45

I'm at work until 4pm so can't call till after then 😬

SD- 13/08, COC
Phoned Monday told it hasn't even been allocated yet, currently on 23 weeks
