DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 69

[zoeybrooks45]

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

Woop woop looks like hrc an lrm, glad that wait is over

Anyone had any updates on renewals for June? Mine is 22/6 I called yesterday and still no update but I’ve seen some get done for July and August! It’s so frustrating x

I can only go by my experience but my renewal wasn't done until about 2 weeks before it ended

Has anyone had any experience with carers allowance and renewals? We had letters to say carers allowance would be cancelled before we got the renewal, but haven't heard anything since we got the renewal through, will probably call tomorrow to check

new claim scan date 13/01
received back pay today £3178.50
requested form on 4th December 24
Can anyone work out rates please?
thank you

I missed my return deadline but got exactly the same amount and same scan date

Morning, have any of the ladies/gents waiting on appeals heard back yet at all? Almost 6 weeks for me and DWP are yet to respond to our appeal, wondered if this was common and if I should call? Tia x

Is this for a tribunal or a mandatory reconsideration?

Do you mean a mandatory reconsideration? You're looking at more than 25 weeks. Yesterday they were working on Nov 6th SD.

I’m rubbish at working things out, have tried calling but don’t have time to stay on hold for ages 🫣

This is for tribunal, MR didn’t go in our favour

No tribunal, our MR didn’t go in our favour.

Had DM on phone this morning asking questions about son mobility and sleep

I don’t know if I explained my son right
have to wait and see she said she will make decision today

I'd guess high rate on both 🤷

fingers crossed for you!

What’s your date please?

@Selblockh @megan345
So I bit the bullet and rang today but rang option 2 instead of 4 was only on hold 5 minutes! Still not been looked at! But the woman on the phone was also very shocked and kept saying oh my God no oh my God no it's not right. She then said she was going to transfer me to someone else didn't say who. They answered within minutes and he was lovely too said that they are working at 25 weeks so yes my claim is now over that time frame so he said he would make some enquiries whatever he means by that 🤔 said if I haven't heard anything by Tuesday next week to ring back. But did say that they are very busy with new claims and due to my claim being coc unfortunately it isn't a priority because I'm not out of pocket so to speak. But he then said I will make some enquiries for you and get this sorted. Not holding my breath x

Thank you

Mine is a MR
1st November

So glad you will finally have an answer! I have everything crossed for you! Been watching out for yours for what seems like months now!

This happened to me a few months ago. The responded late around 7/8 week mark. Once passed deadline give them a ring and make them aware. They should chase them up. I’ve been waiting nearly 6 months for a tribrunal date nothing so far!

Anyone had a tribrunal date recently and if you have what was date of appeal? Trying to work how long I have to wait! Haha

Good luck today x

Thank you it’s been along 27 and a half weeks
how long is yours now x

Thank you she said she will make decision today but I can see I will ring tomorrow and get told still with them lol
