DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 71

[Kirstylou91]

NC - NEW CLAIM
COC - CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
MR - MANDATORY RECONSIDERATION
SD - SCAN DATE

I think so too, trying to see if I can get more evidence to send off.
id just ring the day you get your new address, they should be able to see if any letter got sent already to the old address.
@Mummyof4children congratulations- what evidence did you send?

I only sent in her ehcp , salt report , and a statement from the school tbh the school statement was about 2 pages

06/02 was awarded 29/05 MRC LRM

Yes I’ve got to await a letter as my son as now he’s been referred to occupational therapy and also his SEN lady is doing another assessment on him in June so hoping to get all that together to send as extra evidence, trying to push him to get assessed by the peadatrician sooner waiting 3 years is just way to long for a child ,I spoke to a really lovely lady at DLA yesterday who gave me the exact address and also advised me to pay for recorded delivery

So 16 weeks wait? Was yours NC? Fingers crossed I only have 4 weeks left to wait then ..congratulations I bet your so relieved the wait is finally over ☺️☺️

Yea 16 weeks NC

MR 20/11

Hopefully not too long for me then 🤞 20/11!
thanks for updating us all x

Me I'm.19.02.. still.waiting.. I'll be 15 weeks Wednesday.. I'm.gonna phone then x

. NC - SC 13/02, just rang for update on where we was at as after seeing all the feb claims going thru wanted to know if it was worth sending off any new info. he said ours was awaiting a decision maker and they are just getting through January now and should be about a month. Even tho we are seeing Feb claims being awarded now so not much longer for us feb folks hopefully 🙏 but he said in regards to sending more info it's up to me and hit or miss as to whether it would make it in time for the decision making part. Hoping good news for us all soon x

Takes around 6 weeks for new evidence to be scanned onto system so that would add to ur waiting time

Let me know what they say x

That's what I mean I still thought I'd have a few months left with the whole 30 week wait so I thought I'd check where we was at, if it's going to delay us I'll leave it and wait on decision and hopefully will hear back in the next few weeks 🤞

See we don’t have an EHCP although school did a statement for us.
They've made reasonable adjustments whether diagnosed or not so that’s helpful. But not official is it.
Don’t have an SEN worker or OT but we have a paediatrician already, strange how different areas use different services first.
Still got about a year to go on the ASD waiting list too!

Will do.. seen a few awarded same date as mine.. not sure if they waiting for schools or practitioner to get back to them coz I wrote their details down..I am watching the threads everyday good luck all x

just seen a 28/11 coc awarded! hopefully i’m soon😫 i’m 29/11 x

MR 7/02 ❤️🤞🏻

I’m 17/2 rang this morning she said mines waiting to be assigned to a case manager

My 03.12.2024 mc

Oo that sounds positive ..hopefully not long x

MR 16/1
I received HRC & LRM for 11 years and we got declined completely on renewal January. Even tho my child’s disability and needs have and will never change or get better. The wait is sooooo long! It’s driving me mad. I’ve been a silent reader for months! Xx

That’s shocking from HRC to nothing did you send in any evidence at renewal ? I’m a week after you MR 22/1 the wait time is ridiculous according to a member on early post they still working on MRs from 19/11 so we still have bout 8 weeks to wait!

That's great I am sd 31/3 and end date 11/6 so hopefully not too far behind

Wow this scares me reading this. I still have had no decision and my sons claim runs out today or Monday 😭 we got the initial award for 2 years we only had a diagnosis of ADHD then but fast forward. 2 years we have an autism assessment, we have a detailed speech and language report, blue badge and being referred for Tourette’s or tics a massive detailed report from me . A detailed iep. Going through the motions for EHCP. It frightens me and he has got worse and a lot more needs now x

Hope you hear soon have you called ?
