DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 70

[Craftilyhopeful]

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

Ok yea I get that but surely people’s should be on top of peoples who scan dates are middle of feb ?

Nothing we can do it’s all down to them , I do believe they should work in order but they will do what the hell they like
also more complex claims takes more timE, the more evidence they have to read/go through

@Kelz23 let me know when u hear anything

New here.
my older kids both already on dla.

NC SD 20/01 for my youngest. Called yesterday the lady was like no updates that’s all i can tell you. It’s upto 25 weeks.

so disheartening i am seeing ppl get theirs who are way after our sd :(

Yeah they should be done in order but they don’t give a 💩

Yeah that’s not fair I’ve seen SD 11/2 get awarded yesterday
Deffo should be done in SD order it’s very frustrating

Do you think some are more detailed and complex than others' like more evidence to see if they can award different rates etc

It was the same 2 years ago when I was waiting for DS decision. It is very frustrating but they should also be telling people the same things over the phone and they aren’t. Hope you all hear something soon 🤞

Just gotta keep plodding along praying for the best i suppose. I got a feeling it’s bad news though. X

@ByChirpyi just read your message on the last thread! we had a lovely holiday thank you, managed to put it to the back of my mind until the friday when we were coming home, have you heard anything else?? seen a couple people on the fb with coc’s 11/11 be awarded xx

Your Jan scan date aswell just hope it’s with a DM did u send much evidence in ?

Not really as i didn’t have much at the time as his paeds appointment isn’t until September & school is still in the process of doing his ehcp referral. I did get a letter from his teacher and proof of asd assessment referrals.

That sounds pretty straight forward hopefully your decision will be made quick once with a decisom maker

ive sent in 9 pages of statement from myself , school report stating all his difficulties and that there relating to ADHD traits and a speech therapist letter form when he was 2, that’s all I’ve sent , beginning to think it isn’t enough , been on waiting list nearly 3 years to see a paediatrician rang few weeks ago they said a year or 2 at least

I know you weren’t asking me but I only sent a letter from school and a letter from our church youth worker, that’s all I had and we qualified!

renewal 22/6 forms sent back 11th Feb…. Still no update xx

That’s really good then gives me hope , can I be nosy and ask what rate u got it’s totally fine if u don’t wana say

NC SD 25/3
A while to go but causing so much anxiety alongside fighting for everything else to be put in place. We don’t have a diagnosis yet because of waiting lists and don’t have an EHCP, but school have made there own adjustments and I sent their letter, has anyone been awarded without one?

NC SD 21/1

Backpay received this morning, so relieved.

Looks like MRC backdated to when we phoned up for the forms.
Now waiting on the letter to see for how long and if LRM will be added next month at 5 years old.

Good luck everyone.

Middle rate care and lower rate mobility for 2 years xx

I was 10 days late returning my form because I didn’t recieve the form until really close to when it was due, I wrote a cover letter stating why it was late but they only backdated to the 29th jan, even though my scan date was 24th jan. I called on 4th dec for my forms so missed out on a few weeks money

That’s what I’m hoping for

Sounds like u would of got a gd bit backdated with it being middle rate care and lower rate mobility, thats what im hoping for my son

Keep us updated about the mobility. My DC is 5 in August (may not have a decision by then anyway) but worried I’d have to do a COC if just before their birthday to then add on mobility.

I'm a week after you, hun 😘

Can anyone advise how long UC are taking to change claim and authorize back payment these days please?

If you've already been through it xx
