Hi guys just a heads up how fast thing can change.

decision makers & case managers are the same people the call handlers may call them a decision maker or a case manager anyway…

I called twice end of may and was waiting to be assigned to a case manager / DM

called back on 2nd June as seen some late Feb / early March dates being awarded, same again waiting to be assigned

4th June something was telling me to ring so rang bang on 9 weren’t though security and lady said a decision was made on 3rd June, she said she wasn’t able to tell me the decision so I asked her to put me through to someone who could, waited on hold, a lovely lady answered, told me my sons award , the payments & all the info I needed to know.

so from 2nd June my claim waiting to be assigned to the next day a decision made can change very quickly

💛 gd luck to everyone

@Kirstylou91 congratulations Bbe on the award . I know you been going nuts like most of us .

It’s understandable especially seeing scan dates ahead of your own that’s y I’ve been quiet I don’t wana make other mums feel shitty if there SD was before mine I did as the call handlers y SD after mine was being awarded she said the DM/ case handlers take a pile

Hi everyone, so my daughters dla run out the 9/6. I phoned it was not done. So was going to phone again in the morning.
anyway laying in bed and my phone has pinned and £279.20 has randomly been paid into my Barclays account. Her normal payment was received on the 27th of May.
does anyone know what this means please?

Judgejudysno1fan · 10/06/2025 07:11

hi everyone, sorry havent posted in a while. hope youre all well.

really pleased for you @Kirstylou91 im still reading but not posting as much but seen so busy with my big family.
I got two letter yesterday from DLA, my hands were trembling , i was expectong a letter of decline and reasons, but it was a letter saying 1) they wre looking into her claim and 2) they want her birth certificfate so im going to be sending that off today, with a copy of her latest prescription and ler latest clinical letter from her surgeon and doctor..

im 10w since scan date for a new claim today.

is that a positive thing they want her birth certificate??
will they send back the birth certificate??

Judgejudysno1fan · 10/06/2025 07:20

Craftypinkbiscuit · 09/06/2025 18:07

Oh I don’t know. I got that letter and another letter saying that I’m 15 weeks and they’re still looking at it. Perhaps I need to read them better. 😂

do you mean 15 weeks since you rang for forms
im 01/04 since scan date and im 10 weeks today, you cant be 5 weeks ahead of me if your scan date was 3 days after mine.
are you including the day you rang for forms as im 15 weeks including the backdate as well for when i rang up for the forms

keep me posted either way and best wishes 😀
