DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 69

[zoeybrooks45]

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

I’m 14/11 MR called yesterday they were on the 6/11. Wouldn’t waste your time with calling I’m gonna call next Wednesday if I haven’t heard by then. I’m a couple of weeks off a year since I made my original claim. Honestly it’s mentally exhausting

What to get get that letter or your back payment x

The dyspraxia was on the NHS but the dyslexia one we paid for and it was totally amazing, so thorough. Good to know about them awarding it to 17 thank you!

@Tonichatt2288 the letter on uc journal

So frustrating isn’t it! 25 weeks is a long time and then being made to wait even longer!
I hope you hear soon 🤞

I didn’t realise I could do that, I’ll call up again shortly. Wish me luck 😅 x

Scan date 3.1.25 anyone else waiting around this date as I’m just being told still in a queue

I was the same date as you and my daughter got awarded 3 weeks ago

Really I’m ringing now to see what’s going on surely got to be with a Dm by now

mr sd 8/3/2025
Thankyou

So you wasn’t with a dm yesterday so hope for me 🤣🙈

Honestly the longest! I will post when I get my decision so you have a clue of where abouts they are. Hopefully the wait will be over for both of us soon

Nc sd 3/1 just rang and been told should have a decision by 9/6 if not to call them can’t even cope with waiting that long

Hiii! Did you phone up? I'm phoning now, just wanted to see if you was on hold long? Worried they might cut me off at 5 if I'm still on hold? Good luck with your call!

Took 50 mins x

Thank you!! I'm 25 minutes in so hoping i can get through by 5!

46 minutes on hold 4 minutes till 5 wonder if I get cut off🤷‍♀️

* got through at 4.59pm!*
Renewal still not with a decision maker but should definitely hear back before end claim date 09.06! Call handler wasn't actually rude as I expected especially for 5pm seemed quite chirpy which is unusual!
Good luck everyone!

Hi ladies just done a renewal I think I got it in on the time frame it said and on the letter it said I will no by November does this sound correct in terms of time it's taking ?

NC SD 21/01/2025
Called Monday 12th May - No Update
Just had text saying my son qualifies at 5:39pm on Wednesday 14th May!!!
So happy I’ll be calling tomorrow to find out what he’s been awarded.

Hi NC sc 24/1
have been following for a while, just rang and it’s in a holding que… he said could be 4-9 weeks… is the holding que just waiting to be picked up by a DM? Thank you

See my above comment xx

Hi all firstly i wanted to say congratulations to all the new awards in the last few days. A quick question after being awarded this week I updated my uc journal Tuesday morning and coc to add and backdate the carers and disability element. I had a message yesterday to say with a decision maker and today a letter agreeing to backdate it's now with a case manager to work out the amount. Do we know how long it takes now for decision and backpay please

@Mummymarie5 hello I’m still waiting

I put mine request 24th April

just got my letter Monday to say they will backdate and with case manager to work out

so have no idea

thank you, so when u rang on Monday was urs in a holding Que 🫣 sorry I’m not very good at this, thanks

I honestly think they say anything to get you off the phone.
