Dla wait times thread 68

[ProudZebra]

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

My daughter had her jabs last month, id been putting them off for months and she was absolutely fine, although I made my husband take her and it actually made her sleep that same night 🤣🤣 winner!

Good luck lovely please let us know when you hear hopefully very soon xx

Yes tbh it makes my little boy sleepy which is a winner for us as we are up through the night alot with him..doing all nighters is killing me off 😴😴

Will do
i will be 25 weeks Thursday so expecting it to be 26 weeks
don’t know when best to call
@ByChirpy did you call

Absolutely us too so that was a big bonus. Should ask to take some of the vaccination home 🤣🤣🤣

Oh my I never thought of that might ask when I go in 😂😂😂😂

Haha us tired mummas will do whatever it takes! 🤣🤣

Excuse me madam, wasn't you here yesterday for the jabs..... Nope 😝😝😝

Our NC SD is 11/12 I rang this morning as I have evidence I think will really help with mobility- was told it’s with a decision maker! They put a note on the system and emailed them to say I had evidence arriving tomorrow that I believe will help evidence my son meets the mobility criteria. Really hope they wait and look at it!! Hopefully won’t be long before you hear back now!

Might see if any of my friends kids need their jabs and take them instead of their parents to ask for more myself 😂😂😂😂

Still here waiting too 8/11 going to ring in a minute and see if there's any update

When starting the mandatory reconsideration process. Do you need to call them first before sending the MR form with new evidence or just send everything to them?

I'm so sorry to hear this. I've been keeping up with the chat to see if you were awarded as I know our children are similar ages. I'm really surprised you were declined but definitely fight it all the way because we are in similar circumstances with age and care needs and my DS was awarded HRC until 5th birthday (with no formal diagnosis) so you should definitely be awarded!!!

Good morning,

is there anyone who could help me with what I need to write to UC in regards to my sons DLA claim please? It would be much appreciated.

also, how does payment work with them? Do they back pay you like DLA do or not?

many thanks

Week 16 for MR after renewal was declined. I have today received the statement of reasons for decline. The reasons 🤦‍♀️
•Attends mainstream
•Doesn't have an Ehcp
•Is a high achiever
•wears headphones because they don't like noise.

I thought dla was based on care needs. I didn't realise my childs physical disability and the care required would be overlooked because they are intelligent.

Honestly I’m so upset, frustrated, angry. So many emotions. I got the text at 8:45. Called when they opened at 9. She said the decision was made today?! A decision was made before they even opened. I’m so shocked

theres no mr form, call them and ask for a statement of reasons, when it arrives you kind of do a statement cross referencing what they say x

Oh, on the gov website there’s a MR form called “if you disagree with a decision made by the department of work and pension”

if no one does it that way I’ll just call and do it that way

maybe call and double check, this is just what i’ve seen previously, the first step is definitely the statement of reasons so just ask when you’re on that call x

I just went on live chat about coc SD 22/10
26weeks today, was told they’re looking at it no decision made and that coc are taken up to 10months🙈🙈

On hold with them now, thank you!

Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear this. I’m 12/12 and still waiting. Very nervous now. Good luck with the MR 👊

Just got off the phone after 40 minutes on hold. Still not with a dm yet but said claim is at the front of the queue to be assigned a DM it should be with one by next week before the 25 weeks mark and decision should be made bt 2nd may so will be ringing back a week Friday. She also said will likely get back pay before letter is sent so can ring back to find out decision on option 4 😐not getting my hopes up for being with a dm anytime soon really xx

@Selblockh have you rang today?

I'm mr they've gave me 1st of may for decision not holding out hope though lolx

Just see your other message aswell. So mine could be this week

I was trying to hold out till Thursday as that will be 25wks

what do you think
