DLA WAITING TIMES THREAD 64

[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.

I got mrc for my 4 year old with my input and school senco .....I asked for mr though because he's since got his echo dietician speech and language and other professional statements x

Someone said last week it was with case manager this week said not it's a joke isn't it x

I got my son's original award wof MRC with with a detailed daily care and senco statement ...I've put a Mr in because he's now got echp dietician speech and language and other supporting things I can still get it without that xx

They say 25 weeks and they told also 25 weeks when ever I called them but my children's dla results came between 16to 18 weeks I got 3 of them.so don't worry soon I think you will get the result.wish you gys luck.

Hi, no they will not send a monthly statement. When you are awarded they send one letter saying how much you will receive going forward.
