I get the complete frustration but they are still just getting into March, there's loads from February waiting. I still have afew weeks with mine as their 19/3 and 26/3. Just wish they would tell the truth on the phone rather than rush people off when it's their job to literally answer calls and check claims 🤣

Yea i get it, but They told me last week I was with a DM and the following day onwards I'm still being allocated. They make it up as they go along

That's ridiculous. It's their job to update you 🙄

my boys got it!
I cried I can’t believe it

Congratulations! so happy for you and everyone awarded xx

Thank you!

im so happy for my boy we can finally get him the things he needs and the support and care he well and truly deserves

good luck with everyone else who is waiting
and
congratulations to everyone who has been awarded.

Ahhh amazing congratulations what a relief for you! What was your SD?

Been declined guys.. I'm gutted for.my daughter.. dcan date 19.02.. how do I go about a mandatory reconsideration please

Ohh no hun I’m so gutted for you 😭 did they give you reasons why they refused her xx

x

They said I have to wait for a letter.. is this right do you think x

Oh no!

i can’t believe that they have declined you’re little girl.
with an mr you have to call to request it I’m not too sure though.
im gutted for you chick x

No that will just be standard letter, you need a statement of reasons from the dm why they refused.

then you can bullet point the reasons why they are wrong and then cross reference on reports etc why they made the wrong decision xx

I just phoned them up and told them I wanted an MR and why I didnt agree with the rates that was given

For those still waiting for a decision when I first applied for dla for my daughter in 2023 the wait time back then was 20 weeks I rang up at 17 weeks on a friday night and told them I was in financial hard ship by the Monday morning I was told a decision was made the following morning on a Saturday (yes they do work weekends to catch up) and I was told case loads are in random piles and they're put on the decision makers desks thats why some people may be getting a decision before others as they don't work in date order. I know people also reached out to there local MP and recieved a decision a few days later . Hope this helps for the people still waiting.

Okay thank you I'm so angry and upset.. they only give u a month bu we have to wait how long for a decison

Hi did you get a decision today? X @MrsKB16

So do I have to phone them.back and ask for a MR ? X and then they will send a letter. Or wait for a letter then phone up x

Yesterday at 26weeks. His Mr was declined :*( xx

You dont have to wait for the letter. You can request a statement of reasons which will ne detailed on why exactly your child was declined but they can read this out over the phone

Thank you.. think it was my eveindce..bu will have more now x

Ooo they told me they couldn't n to wait for letter.. how wrong of them.. so I will phone tomorrow and ask for a MR with statement of reasons.. shall I write these down or will they post them x

Hi
I sent off a coc form was recieved 16th may, but since I sent off my sons medication has increased... should I send this off? ( done coc as was diagnosed with epilepsy)
Thanks

I would call them and say your daughter been refused and you want a statement of reasons. Xx

Sorry to hear you’ve not been awarded.
im dreading that outcome! What evidence did you send in if you don’t mind me asking?
