DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 72

[megan345]

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

I know😩 im December 2nd and they said they’ll be on it by the end of next week. There doing it in date order now to make it fair but it is dragging! I’m at that stage where I don’t want to call anymore and I may just wait for the letter it’s giving me anxiety x

same with coc’s! i’m 29/11 x

I haven’t rang once because I’m not at 25 weeks yet but over 20 now and I have been lurking in the groups seeing that they are so far behind just haven’t bothered! I have some more evidence so I might call on Monday to say I will send that as clearly have time. Fingers crossed you will here something next week xx

Yeah this baffles me too! They already have everything loaded for your child so I don’t know why the coc also take so long! X

I’m MR 21/11 and have been told that I will get a decision on Monday

Yes. I agree it’s weird. In a similar way, we knew my child had all the symptoms of a medical condition but when the genetics came back and confirmed we got to see it written in black and white. I was sad yet we had know for ages and was not a surprise at all.

So glad you will be able to put the money to good use thou and the bathroom will help you massively. You will also not have to think about the blasted forms for a while to.

We had a new claim that we mailed in just before Christmas. I believe our scan date was the first week of New Year.

I had to mail in some additional information about 2 weeks ago (information that I sent with the original claim but had never been scanned in I might add)!

I've not received an award letter yet but I've just had some money from the DLA deposited in my account so I'm assuming we have had our award.

Just wanted to share our timeline as I've been popping on to this thread from time to time so see how it's all going.

Do you know if MR and COC are in the same queue to be looked to together?

think they are separate queues, just not prioritised xx

do you think you know what award?xx

COC 06/05
i agree, I’ll probably not have a decision until before Christmas with how long they are taking, which is shocking considering our kids needs could be getting worse or changing while we wait 6/7 months for a decision. I know we receive some kind of award while waiting which I’m grateful for but my kids needs have changed since he was awarded in march after waiting 6 months for the award🙈

@Lindsey555 yes I did. So my SD is 30/05 then another long wait xx

Anyone been awarded today? I wonder if they working over the weekend

There doesn’t seem to be as many coc on here, do you know roughly how many weeks wait there working at?

i’m on week 27 currently and still waiting xx

they do but only some decision makers xx

Cant believe how long MR are when did mine in 2023 was only 8weeks so shocking my MR was successful it can happen wishing you good luck xx

Just seen this on a DLA Facebook page someone had a scan date for 23/5 and got awarded today,are they working weekends?

i think on new claims they work weekends xx

I’m 7/3 so hopefully not too long for my little boy now x

I'm not sure what you mean? Do you mean what level we have been awarded at?

We think we have worked it out by the value deposited in the account but not 100% sure so hoping the letter comes through soon so we actually know what's going on.

We didn't apply for any mobility element though so I guess it makes it easier to work out.

yes sorry thats what i meant, glad you’ve been awarded hopefully letter comes soon🤞
