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?

So they verified the one who doesn’t then ?

Yes, sorry They verified both, but i didn't think they would have to verify my child who doesn't get it as I made no changes to them i only made changes to my son who gets dla, but his got verified aswell as my youngest?

Just called and spoke to a case manager there on dates 28th November for MR, they said they would be on December by the end of this week but she’s telling me it could possibly be next week now depending on how quickly they get through the November ones x

I know we’re around the same MR SD10/12. Called this morning and was told that we’ve got a decision, finally. Obviously didn’t tell me what it is. Calling back on 4 to see if I can find out, but there’s been a few declines lately so I’m not feeling very hopeful!

I hope it’s good news! I’m thinking of calling now but they keep telling me December end of the week or next week, I’ve been feeling doubtful aswell soo many declines. I’m hoping we all get our awards especially the amount of time we’ve been waiting for these MR x

Hi everyone just thought I’d update regarding my daughter’s renewal. A decision was finally made on the 10th. They wouldn’t tell me what the decision was over the phone. So I’ve just got to wait now for a letter a letter that probably won’t come for another couple of weeks 😅is this a new thing they are doing not telling you the decision, before they used to tell you I’m sure

They finally on December dates @Liya1xx think you should call too x

I’ve called and they said there on 29th November and it’s still strictly date order so I have no clue not even allocated to a DM yet there telling me end of this week or Monday latest so draining! x

thankyou so much! I’m going to give them a call now and ask. We hardly receive any post (only local village booklets which seem to be daily lol) it takes ages for anything to get to us. My daughter’s therapy through camhs had come to an end a few months ago, so we’ve been funding private therapy using part of her DLA. Ideally want to know asap so I can try and find a way to fund it if not awarded again.

also to add would like to know if she has been awarded when her next payment will be paid in. As we received the odd payment the other day as it wasn’t done on the 9th when it ended if that makes sense

So they’ve added LRM, but staying on MRC as apparently he is no worse than other children his age at night time, obviously I don’t agree but I’ll have to see what the letter says about it. They did say it was decided on the 9th so you should probably give them another call. Fingers crossed for you!

Clearly they lying about date order bcos @AlwaysMumming said her SD was 10/12 god knows what going on!

No worrys, nothing worse waiting for letters to come l still havent had mine letter been nearly a week, takes it little bit longer to get through but worth it to know the outcome, think its new system that not allowed to tell you on the 1,5,1,2 on on the 1,5,1,4 xx
