DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 69

[zoeybrooks45]

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

Did you receive any text to inform you of decision?

Yes this is my first renewal, I’m hoping they award for longer than 2 years this time if they ageee to renew, it’s so stressful waiting for decisions.

No I just rang they were abit hesitant on telling me I spoke to a man then they put me through to a lady and she told me she said I should receive a letter in the next couple of days

Thank you, I was just wondering my SD is the 03/01/2025 NC. I was told last Friday it was with a DM but still not heard anything and I really don’t want to ring. Such a long wait to know if it is accepted/declined. Getting a little nervous now.

I'm hoping for longer too only seems few months ago I was applying for it!

MR Scan Date 28/11 - no decision yet apparently will take 2 more weeks but Im not going to hold my breath lol!

Called them up and they had actually changed the scan date on the system too!!
Even the lady on the phone couldn’t understand how or why!

MR 01-11
still waiting but apparently with DM but no decision yet

Aw it’s okay hun I was so nervous to ring don’t like ringing them at all but the lady on the phone was lovely

Mine was the 10th may

And was done on the 31st so shouldn't be much longer

Did you just call and ask for an update? X

NC scan date 13/1 just had a phone call from decision maker and sons been awarded high rate care and low rate mobility 🥳

Have you heard anything yet?

Just seen your update! Sorry😂 bit behind today🤦‍♀️

Yes I was awarded hrc lrm it was done on the 2nd x

Yeah they said a dision had been made on the 6th and then what my daughter was intitled to x

amazing! im 14/1 so hopefully not long now!

Our claim ends 12th May- Scan date 8/1- Rang today and decision was made 30/4. Awarded the same rates but for 5 years which takes him to 17 so not sure about that bit. I've not received any paperwork but they told me over the phone.

My son has been awarded and I have a question about UC. It says to do change of circumstances and when I do it just asks for the date my sons circumstances has changed it doesn’t ask what the change is in order for me to apply for the disability element. Does anyone know how to do this? Iv put a note in my journal but god knows when they’ll get back to me x

Congratulations how did u know what you have been awarded

what number will they call on if they do? i dont tend to answer numbers that i dont know, and if i dont answer will it make my claim take longer?

The decision maker told me on the phone :)

Aw that's amazing news

Just had my sons renewal decision letter this is my first one he's been awarded HRC and HRM but his old claim doesn't end until 28/6/25 and on his old claim it's just HRM so does the care part get back dated or does it start from date old claim ends decision was fast only 8 weeks from sending forms back
