DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 69

[zoeybrooks45]

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

My renewal is after yours but I’ve noticed the people that have had there renewals done early seems to be people that it hasn’t been there first renewal and have been on Hrc and Hrm award. It might just be a theory 😂

Thankyou for this, I had a feeling it would be a long one, I hope you hear soon!

The wait is awful isn’t it! Especially the closer we’re getting. I have sent so much evidence but still
worried as it seems it pot luck at the min!

Looking at dates awarded and dates waiting it doesn't seem to be in any particular order🙈 so confusing

Just got through and it’s hrc and lrm x

I think it's never going to be in an exact order as some claims will be more straight forward than others so it will always be approximate. I work in a job where I assess for other things regarding disability amd some assessments just taken longer than others especially either end so borderline as you need to often get more info and ones that are going to cost a lot and have very high needs as everything needs to be water tight to get it agreed with managers. I'm also guessing if its like us they don't do one then finish amd go on to the other, they might have a few straight forward ones they can do that with and then others they need to go back to.

Just recieved a letter saying claim is still being looked at and could take 15 weeks
My scan date is 7th march 🤦‍♀️

I was shaking I thought it had been declined 🤦‍♀️

Renewal due 16/05 and called today for an update. The decision was made on 9/05 but won’t tell me over the phone. How long did it take for the letter to arrive?

NC SD 28/1
called today give some more information women was snotty on phone said claim with DM be 25wks to hear anything

Congratulations to everyone who got awarded today

Letters can take a week maybe longer, I would call back and say they wasn’t able to see the award details can you tell me 😂 I would be so impatient to be waiting for a letter

NC SD20/1 and got the same thing when called for an update, snotty woman who said not to ring before 25 weeks… but I will ring daily if I feel like it 😂

Bless you. I have everything crossed for you. You get the outcome you want xx

My SD 7th march had a letter couple of weeks ago saying sorry it’s taking long , I’m just going to wait now as it seems they are on the scan dates for NC’s beginning of jan, letter says 15weeks but when you call they say 25 weeks? I don’t think they are communicating with each other,dates seems to here there and everywhere at getting accepted

She asked me for my child information 3 times I gave her information that called to give didn’t ask about the claim she just was snotty saying claim was with a case manager and wait 25wks an not to call until then if not heard anything then hung up on me.. absolutely no need to be rude

ours isn’t even with a claim manager.. and they say they work in order…

I think they just grab what ever tbh when I called last week for an up date told me then was with a DM a I called today just give some more information an still with them but last week he said was with a DM this time it’s with a case manager is that same thing

Tempted 😂

Scan date for my daughter 4/12
Just phoned and got please don't contact us again you will receive a letter. The forms been with. Decison maker for 4 months now x

They would save themselves at least 50% of phone calls and frustration if they just had an online portal where you could check the progress of your application.

Current approx wait times.
Status updates - in queue, with decision maker, approved, decline etc.

It’s 2025 for god sake.

decision made for my sons MR longest 28 weeks
my son has gone from MRC to HRC and kept on LRM til 2026 they didn’t change the date from original decision (which is a pain)
happy with this
good luck

@ByChirpy fingers crossed it’s like when I called and they put ad urgent
I would call again Thursday and Friday

I hope you get the right outcome
