DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 70

[Craftilyhopeful]

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

I get they should be taken one by one ideally but then waiting back for further info the DMs just sit there wasting time which is why I assume they take a bundle of them at a time.
Not ideal but they should just be clear about it, rather than set wait times they should explain it could take between 15-25 weeks whilst we wait for info etc but people are still going to ring, cause I’d focus on the 15 weeks still
and let’s face it it is the government that make the rules so the truth will never be given

Another person 13/2 on fb x

I don’t know how that would work my scan date 13/2 and has not been given to decision maker where there are people around my date and 20-24 been done. X

I’m 20 weeks today so surely can’t be much longer xx

when was last time you called? I’d call everyday, then I would screen shot multiple claims done after your date and make a complaint xx

There not been honest though are they and just say what they want when people ring so it probs is with one in a pile, or got sent and if that DM has gone off sick the pile gets returned for someone else to pick up which puts you behind the ones that have already gone out but rather than tell you that your just left thinking it’s been missed/they’ve picked others first

@Kelz23 I literally called them yesterday and she said it was with a decision maker I told her it’s been with a decision maker since 09/05 so is my decision maker waiting for further evidence from gp or school and she said no it’s just literally waiting for a decision. So frustrating xx

It would really p me off seeing all these dates waiting that long. Xx

@Kelz23 as time is going on it’s really getting to me seeing dates from end of Feb getting awarded and I’m still waiting for a decision from 08/01. I mean I’m happy for everyone getting their award but I just want to know mine now lol xx

Tbh, in 2023 I was waiting a decision for my son, I called at 9am they said no it’s not with decision maker about 9.30 I got text saying he had been awarded lol 😂 they used to say they used to give decisions makers all new claims on Friday, all bull crap isn’t it xx

😂 that made me chuckle moody Margret

@Mummyof4children iknow lol moody Margaret

I’ve not had the mouthy woman yet I will probably get her next week 😂

Neither have I I had a lovely lady yesterday she actually laughed twice believe it or not

I'm same date as you and still haven't heard anything, the thought that it could be another 10 weeks makes me twitchy lol

Tomorrow is a new day hopefully we all wake up to funds in our accounts … 💰

Let’s have a list of scan dates who are still waiting and see
I’m 06/02

I’m 17/2

I wonder if its down to how much evidence you add with your claim form or form in general...
I kinda feel sorry for whoever gets my sons, as we could only just fit all supporting documents into the envelope with the claim form, I did tape all the edges and sent special delivery lol

I’ve only sent ehcp salt report and school statement

13/02

@Mummyof4children 17/2

🤣 it’s shocking really, it’s a very outdated system
I claimed in 2023 for other DC too, was in a similar post then too all stressing out!
have it again plus ive got a MR going on for other DC as they transferred to PIP

MR 22/1 18 weeks today im going to ring every week once it gets to 20 weeks!

@s39 I'm a day after you 23/1, and I spoke to someone today and she said its with a dm and has been for the last two weeks. It's taking so long the wait is killing me. 18 weeks tomorrow
