Dla wait times thread 68

[ProudZebra]

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

Congratulations was it a complete decline first time around

I don’t think that part was right 🫣 i did the change and it said about when they came to live with you but I’ve put a message in my journal explaining that I don’t think I’ve done it right. Panic on top of panic now until I get a reply 😢

Yeh I did it with a guy online just now because it says who is new that is living with you so I was so confused but he said there you put your date of approval from dla, and follow the steps after it will say what your son is getting and then you select dla next they will ask what rate.

It’s sounds like you’ve put in all the information to get HRM that you would have had to if you needed to do a MR, hoping you get some good news ☺️

That's what contact said to me, be careful sending all this now as you want have anything for an MR but If I've done it correctly I shouldn't need an MR!

What is an SGO, please?

I find they do reply quite quickly

@Judgejudysno1fan i believe it’s special guardianship order

A special guardianship order , I was a kinship carer for a family members child. And was then awarded an SGO which means I now have full PR for the child until the “age of 18”

26 weeks today ….just called and it’s still in holding que , my award is due to end on 3 weeks so what the really helpful man I spoke has done is bundle it all together and send the coc along with the renewal to to the renewal team , as that will be quicker
he said they are looking at 28/30 weeks now for COC !!!!!

The did reply saying I have to ring I’m out at minute so willl later

I’ve put a message on my journal and they’ve replied asking me to ring so I’ll ring them later when I get back home

Ok cool

Just a quick question, if you don’t get awarded mobility until child is 5, do they pre award if 5th birthday is within 4 months of them dealing with a COC claim or would I have I to apply again for mobility?

I wanna call 🤣🤣🤣

No she had received HRC and LRM for years, but on renewal it was changed to MRC and LRM, so I decided to submit an MR

Fingers crossed you hear in the next few days. My daughter’s MR decision was made this morning. The scan date was 18/10. Good luck

@selblockh I'm still here too! We've got to be soon, surely?!

A decision was made on Friday !! I'm calling option 4 now I'm so nervous

I very much doubt it lol probably another 4 weeks as I bet goes to 28wks

26 weeks MR - decision was made this morning

Did you find out what the decision was ? They wouldn't tell me so I'm calling option 4 ?

I would
there taking the piss

I asked the call handler to transfer me to the case manager as I had been waiting over 25 weeks and would like to know the decision. They were happy to transfer me and I spoke to the case manager straight away
