Yes I am seeing the same, it’s very confusing especially to keep being told different things each week.. I think I’m going to give up calling and just wait for a letter the man I spoken with today said some of the people tell you what you want to hear which shouldn’t be allowed xx

No that shouldn’t be allowed , who do they think they r

NC SD 18/1
spoke to decision maker told make decision at end of day.
Called next day to asked to send birth certificate (2 weeks ago ) rang yest to check still not scanned on

Ours too! 🙁😨I can't believe they've left it so late! Good luck!

The lady I spoke to Tuesday said extra evidence sent it can take up to 6 weeks to be scanned onto the system

i know, he said it as if it was normal and as if they do it quite often which is very unprofessional of the people who are giving false information, I would rather be told the truth and know where it’s up to x

Very unprofessional well the letter I got in April stated 15 weeks for a decision so think they need to update there letters to 25 weeks

COC 6/5 so still a long wait ahead🙈 From Scotland so things are a little different.
My LO was awarded LRC on March 13th but I had no evidence of his sleep as I was waiting on follow up appointment with paediatrician to discuss his sleep ,paediatrician prescribed melatonin the same day his decision was made so I was told to do a MR and send in new evidence and his melatonin prescription and I would hear by 22nd May once they looked over his claim again. Got a letter saying because of his changes they needed to send the claim over to COC so long wait on top of already waiting 8 weeks for nothing.

Just waiting game for everything- you wait paeds you wait for assessment, you wait ehcp ed psychs Dla it’s mentally draining

MR 21/11
27+1 weeks
still waiting

that’s an awful wait, this is killing me 15 weeks for a decision.

@Kirstylou91 ive been told same then another woman told me ring bk this afternoon and see incase it has . If so ask them to email case manager. In other words they ain’t got a clue just when ever it’s done .
don’t understand why they would ask for it after the DM has already spoken to me .

I’ve called DLA and there currently on MR dates 19/11 you should be the beginning of next week hopefully x

For anyone that is waiting on MR there on dates 19/11, I’ve just spoken to someone from the escalation team who said there speeding through them the last few days x

Thank you for the update. It’s honestly been such a long wait

I would call back, asking how long you going to have my child’s birth certificate had I need it for something else. The birth certificate is an important doc loose. If they say not on system ask to speak t supervisor xx

im the 02/12 and the wait is just unbelievable, he said they are trying to get through them as quickly as possible now and hopefully a decision for myself by the end of next week fingers crossed, there working in strictly date order with MR to make it fair for everyone x

Clueless absolutely clueless 🤦‍♀️

NC SD 06/02 still waiting getting annoyed now seeing all these dates after me getting awarded

I rang this morning, mines waiting to be assigned to case manager
