I would just call and say you’ve had a missed call from someone at DLA, they’ll either put you through or get them to call you back.
whats your SD?

3/3 I’m on hold right now

Week 26 begins, still waiting, sent new evidence Saturday. It arrived yesterday. Not any closer to a decision and just spent 40mins on a call to school to convince DC to stay there for the day 🤦‍♀️. Happy Tuesday

MrsBoo8888 · 01/07/2025 10:24

Nc sd 19/3. Called and decision made 28/6. Asked to be put through to someone that could tell me. A rude woman answered she looked and said a decision had been made and I'll get a letter in 7-10 days then she hung up on me... on hold again now. Ridiculous. Bet it's a decline

@GirlsMumWorld So why did they call you? Just to say you’ve been awarded? I haven’t heard of anyone getting a call to let them know unless they wanted to confirm something, it’s normally just a text or payment in the bank

MrsBoo8888 · 01/07/2025 10:55

19/3 decline because no medical evidence 😡 they put his acceptance onto the JADES pathway letter and sleep diary on his brothers claim 26/3 so the guy is emailing it over for the DM to look at again. I wrote all his info on the letters but sent it off with his brother birth certificate so it all just got scanned in together. Decision was made on Saturday so I don't think they even bothered contacting his school!! His on a reduced timetable now and spends most of his lessons in the special quiet class because he can't concentrate and gets annoyed by noise. They need to contact people on these forms we put them there for a reason! Knew they was rushing the nc through

Sunflower1650 · 01/07/2025 10:56

Does everyone get a text message when a decision has been made? I’ve never had any texts from them during the wait, only those standard letters in the post that say it’s 15 weeks. Mine’s with a decision maker, just waiting on his dyspraxia diagnosis report being added to the evidence which I posted first class on Saturday before they make the decision. I’m so nervous. I get too anxious phoning up to see if the decision has made, I’d just rather get the text and then phone them 😭

Omg all this time waiting and they can't be bothered to call the ppl you've put down! Hopefully the DM will look at it all again and change decision x

Oh no, that is really bad. I hope you get a positive outcome🤞I’m scared to call now SC 21/3 & 26/3.

Ladybug2025 · 01/07/2025 10:59

NC SD 26/3/25

A huge congratulations to everyone that's had positive news!
No updates on my end, the call handler I spoke to a few days ago (when checking if evidence had been received) mentioned waiting until September.

My other sons is 26/3 and no ones looked at it yet. His only 3 and in the process of the nursery filling out his jades forms.... they can only handle him 45 minutes a day rather than the 3 hours their ment to have him. He needs a 1-1. They better call his nursey for their word on it 😟 so deflated after they didn't bother doing my other sons properly

No, not everyone gets a message. A lot of people either find out when they receive payment or when they get a letter saying they have been declined

That’s really terrible, i think they are rushing to make decisions now🙄. I didn’t send in much evidence as we are on the waiting list. Looking at yours , you definitely deserve an award. Let’s hope for a positive outcome after reviewing it🤞

Thank you. I don't understand why they didn't bother contacting the school. He literally climbs the fences to get out when his overstimulated. His only 13, he constantly wears a bright red coat as a armour even I'm this 32 heat all the teachers know him, they need to do their job properly I thought it went on need and not diagnosis. He won't get seen by anyone on the JADES pathway for at least 2 years
