Dla wait times thread 68

[ProudZebra]

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

My partner was self employed and they wanted me to go back to start looking for work when my daughter turned 3, that wouldn’t have been possible so I was thankful my sons Dla award came in time to go on carers allowance. Google is so confusing I even was confused when I found out about it on here 😂 but every little helps to care for are kiddies. Yes you can just claim the cares and disability elements through uc you don’t have to claim carers allowance.

Just a quick one aswel if you get lcwra for yourself you don't get carers element x

my carer only claims the uc element didn’t bother with carers allowance and he doesn’t have to look for work

Do you have to have someone with dla / pip to get the carrers element ?

Yeah

Sent off my sons forms today feel like I’ll get his decision before my daughters backdate of uc

Sent off my sons forms today and I don’t actually feel worried about his my daughter recently for hrc and she’s no where near as bad as his had no evidence for her but got plenty of evidence for him but I feel like I’ll get his decision before my daughters backdate of uc

I'm sure someone else on these threads had a renewal date just after mine on the 5th May but either I'm blind or remembering incorrectly, if anyone finds this post or it's you, I just wanted to see if you've heard anything

Anyone know dates for current tribunal times? lol wishful thinking. 😂

Hi all. Is anyone waiting on COC? SD 18/12 COC

hey! i’m 29/11 COC ❤️

Hey! Awww I have my fingers crossed for you that you hear soon. I rang up today and the lady told me COC are currently taking 20 weeks but I’ve seen here people are waiting a lot longer so I’m not taking her word for it

thank you and you! i’ve rung at 12,16 & 20 weeks so far and was told it has been assigned to a decision maker but not yet with them, i’ve been told to ring back 27th may😫 this wait is just cruel x

I get £192 a week so would that mean I would need to claim for both? Or can you only claim for one it’s very confusing, sorry with all the questions this is my first time so I’m new to it all x

Awwwww it’s so hard waiting isn’t it 😫the urge to keep calling them is horrible. I’m getting more and more nervous as the weeks go on 😫x

NC 31/12/24

Hi @Mumof1J my sons coc sd is 31/10
25 weeks today

They are prioritising NCs by the looks of it decisions are getting made a lot quicker compared to MRs and COC

@Nidfor @Madmummy2016 your coc scan dates are near mine 31/10
have you heard anything x

Nothing yet, my SC is 21/10. Will be calling tomorrow if still not heard anything!

Honestly if you are working I wouldn't even bother with carers allowance it won't benefit you financially, it's carers element on UC you should claim for

Omg you still not heard

im not holding out then

COC 25 weeks today! SD 31/10 I'm going to give them a ring later!

Hi
I'm 4th May, I haven't heard anything yet.

Oh so the same as me, have you called them?
