Dla wait times thread 68

[ProudZebra]

NC - new claim
COC - change of circumstances
MR - mandatory reconsideration
SD - scan date

Does anybody know the next steps, just been declined again 😩😩😩

Tribunal ask for statement of reasons

What evidence did you send I'd appeal it or get everything together and start again xx

I’m so sorry they declined was yours a decline first time around

Yes it was i sent evidence from school and cahms , definitely taking it all the way, my daiughter is autistic and doesnt even leave the house, shes not been to school in 2 years, she has severe anxiety and cant socialise even with family, its heartbreaking and the help we get from anywhere is almost nothing x

Sorry to hear this it will be a MR and it takes just as long then if that gets refused then it of to tribunal that's where I'm at ive been waiting all in all from coc to MR then tribunal a year in March just gone I'm waiting on a court date hopefully you might be successful at MR ask them for a statement of reasons

That was a mr, does it take a long time for the tribunal? Can you get any help with this at all? Maybe some support? We keep hotting our head against a brick wall everywhere we turn x

Sorry i misread it will be tribunal if they've declined again 🤯

Is this another long process? X

I put in for tribunal 20th Dec I'm still waiting on a date I've read it can take 6-12 months yes you can get help with this call your local citizens advice and they will help you x

That is same as my son been under hospital education for nearly 3 years

I’ve been using my IC account showing the disabled child element and showing ID haven’t been turned away with that yet.

@Nidfor I’m coc sd 31/10

How soon after verifying your child did up take for back dated money

Its awful isnt it and all services are so restricted and have such long waiting lists, makes you feel all alone, breaks your heart watching your child hardly exsist x

Been told to wait another week, which will mean we’ll be at 26 weeks at that point.

So sorry to hear that. The next step would be tribunal. When you have received your MR decision letter, you can submit a tribunal application online. This stage is taking roughly a year for a court case, unless DWP offer an amended decision while you are waiting for the court date.

thankyou x

I’ve just rang for an update no 23rd jan but seeing one on Facebook of 28th jan be awarded thought why not however the man said nc are taking full 25 weeks and that not to expect to hear anything until 17th July cause it will not be looked at till then I said well I think the letters that state 15 weeks should be changed..he apologised for me getting that letter and off he went lol

I think that is just scripted and what they’re told to say. I’m on hold now waiting for them to answer. A lot of people are getting decisions from week of 11/12. I think it’s estimated around 17-18 weeks currently. I’ll let you know what they say

They answered as soon as I posted. They said can take between 20-25 weeks. Mine is sitting at the top of the holding queue so it’ll be picked up by a decision maker very soon. Mine was a NC and the SD was 18/12

Hi everyone! New here, first time claiming, ordered forms 06/01 SD 13/02 applying for my little boy who is moderate/severely deaf in both ears, diagnosed 2 years ago and never even thought to apply for dla until someone suggested, so applied and guess we will wait and see. His deaf teacher told me it's very hit and miss with hearing loss, she's seen people be awarded with mild hearing loss and others denied with severe. Sent in his personal plan from school from his teacher of the deaf, his latest 2 audiograms showing his degree of deafness, salt appointments and a statement from his teacher of the deaf. Hoping to hear by the end of June. Good luck everyone.

Thankyou for updating me I do think it’s scripted too it’s got to be otherwise the dates wouldn’t be here there and everywhere, good luck hope your not waiting much longer x

Getting more and more anxious as the days go on. Really takes a toll! Hopefully not a long wait for you either

@Nidfor yeah I was told 25-30wks

im 24wks Thursday so I’m expecting around 27weeks
