DLA WAITING TIMES THREAD 66

[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.

If I only got payment for 30.09 today, you're still in with a chance.

🤞🤞🤞 for your call, @PSO123!

Really pleased to see so many people get awarded lately!! Anyone else in the early December gang? I still feel like ours will be a decline as my daughter is still so young. It just feels so wrong to me that a young child who has had multiple surgeries in her short life, with more to come and lives with a stoma (and all the complications that come with it!) may not be considered eligible for DLA.

Hello helpful thread that got me through my dla wait. My child now receives DLA MRC. If I do not work and if apply and get awarded carers allowance, will my tax free childcare stop or reduce in hours eg from 30 to 15 for 3-4year olds or stop altogether? My partner works and meets the other criteria for tax free childcare. We currently do not claim any other benefits other than DLA. Any help or pointers in the right direction appreciated. The website says ‘you may be able to…’ or says you must inform them but I want to make sure before making any decisions, thanks

Congratulations hun glad the wait is finally over for you.
fingers crossed this week, i will call again friday as im with barclays and they dont show pendint payments! What evidence did you send xx

Our MR is 3/10 and was told yesterday 24/3 that and decision has been made. I was told friday 21/3 that i would get a call or text when a decision was made. Had neither. So guessing it's a decline. Good luck to you hun x
