[zoeybrooks45]

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

NC SD 24/02

just wondering if DMs ever call of mobile numbers to speak with you, particularly on weekends? I had a missed call from a number this morning and when I tried to call back it said the number wouldn’t accept incoming calls. I didn’t think anything of it but I just saw the same post on the DLA Facebook page. It’s only been 11 weeks since the scan date for the claim so I didn’t even think of it, but then saw another post on the Facebook page saying awarded from
24/2 (same scan date)
Could just be a coincidence but would be useful to know if they do ring off seemingly typical mobile numbers

Coc sd 8/11. 26 weeks+3days could this be the week ....

fingers crossed for you lovely! we’re on holiday today till friday so hoping that keeps my mind of things🤣 will be 24 weeks on friday x

coc- 29/11

Oh how lovely! Enjoy every minute and try and not think of this wait our turn will come soon. If I hear anything I'll let you know x

@ByChirpy surely it has to be

I rang Thursday and it was still in a queue... debating ringing today but what's the likelihood of it being looked at.... driving me mad now. Have you heard back from UC yet? Xx

MR 15th November. Now over 25 weeks. Rang today and been transferred to CM who advised they're working on 6th November and expect it to be another 2-3 weeks.

@ByChirpy I would be ringing everyday
dont let them make you feel like you shouldn’t be ringing x

nope nothing yet from UC

i thought they were a quick turnaround but nope x

Renewal 22/6 sent back feb, just called and told they will do it before it runs out. I asked what order they’re done in as I’ve seen some for July even August done. Hate this wait!

Nc sd 3.1.2025 just called said not with a dm and at least another 2 to 3 weeks annoying

Anyone’s child’s renewal due this week? I’m debating to call

Now that’s weird there’s a lot on here that have been awarded whos SD was after yours in January they must just pick up forms from where ever they want

Anyone SD in feb heard anything?

That’s annoying when there are claims from the 7th&8th/1 done

I no it’s just annoying me waiting now and they are so rude when ring them like I’m ringing because it’s been 23 weeks since I rang for the forms! So yes it’s defo got to just be random pick

From what I understand it’s given to Decision makers in batches possibly on a Tuesday and it all depends on the DM, so it they take a few days off etc it’s slower.

Just called for an update. Still not with a decision maker. SD 08.01

MR 22/1 16 weeks tomorrow not heard anything but looking at this forums don’t expect to for atleast another 10 weeks 😩

Nc
Sd March 7th

Only 9 weeks so far the wait is absolutely tedious!

Fingers crossed for u all this week

My DD’s scan date was near the end of January so I doubt it’s anywhere near looked at, yet. I sent extra info about a month ago because her dx was confirmed. Now, I have another piece of evidence which was the SENCO applying for an OT assessment. I’m hoping I’ll have time to add this.

Good luck to everyone waiting!

I just phoned up scan date 22/01 they told me I’m looking at mid July

How can they say that when mine as SD 6/02
they told me beginning of July swear they just say anything to get you off the phone

Gosh! So about 27 weeks now then?

my MR is the 14/11 I was gonna call but I won’t bother if they are only on the 6th. Honestly all of this is so frustrating.
