DLA WAIT TIMES THREAD 72

[megan345]

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

I got mines with in a few days was very quick I done changes through uc journal if you do it by form or call it’s longer as my cousin did that an it took about a month

Just communication would be nice to say yep it’s with a decision maker and it will be this long but no nothing when I message on my journal I get a reply saying it’s with a decision maker and that’s it

MR 20 weeks today is anyone calling today

@Nieks247 do you mean the element in UC or the carers allowance form you fill on direct gov ? Cause I did both of them yest x

Awwww no bless your little one! It’s so hard for them especially at that age because it’s all still so new to them bless them! But it’s good the school is atleast noticing a few things, hopefully they’ll notice more as they go further into education to get the right assessment/diagnosis!

Congrats!🥳

Morning Guys, just got off phone to a guy who said they are taking 27 weeks for COC and are currently on early November 🙄
He told me to count to 27 weeks from December and that's when I'll know, I said 2 weeks time then and just repeated it's taking 27 weeks

NC SD 22/01

currently on hold again. They must be absolutley sick of me at this point. I just keep praying the next call will be the time I get some news!

It seems to take forever for any UC extra elements, currently waiting myself.

We're 23 weeks and still not with a dm

i think that’s what I’m going to do.
i don’t get how they can loose documents it baffles me I sent them signed for as well originally so how they’ve lost them is beyond me.

I might give them a call Friday and see what’s going on.

They don’t seem to be the most organised, Its frustrating when you go to the effort and expense of sending documents and evidence recorded delivery knowing that they’ve received it, to then be told it’s missing. I’d be fuming. I’m trying to hold off from ringing this week, and will probably ring early part of next week. Let me know how you get on when you ring them.

NC SD 22/01

still nothing :(

That’s really deflating especially when NCs from Feb/March being awarded
They really be fair on how they work!
Hope it’s your turn soon x

I would call and say that you have seen awards from end of feb and beginning of march get awarded and your just wondering how long yours will be

Hi yes I am.

The DM has sent a request out to the school for more information. I’m still waiting. SD 29/01. Don’t hold much hope, school said to me. they don’t see what we see. But she could be masking .

She has her assessment end of June for ASD. See what they say.

Don't give up.

wow they really are dragging their heels, really hope you hear something soon.

definitely isn’t 27 weeks lovely:( i’m 27+5 today and still waiting!xx

It's a joke I don't understand why we cannot be given correct information x

i agree, i’m going to try call friday morning and see if its finally been done, i’ll be 28 weeks friday xx

MR 20/11
decision made yesterday, took 28weeks and 5days!
just ringing back to find out if awarded or not 🤞🤞🤞

I don't know when I'm going to try again. Mine is in the qué for a individual DM apparently not that I believe out they say x

what a long wait!
Good luck xx

Can I ask if this has Ever happened to anyone else I have 4 children 1 who gets dla I have done change of circumstances and they have verified my 3 children but didn’t see my daughter who gets the dla does that take longer to verify?

This has just happend to myself, but they have verified both my children, one who gets dla and one who doesn't, I'm just abit confused as I didn't make any actual changes to my youngest who doesn't get dla?
