DLA wait times 76

[HeartyGuide]

New Thread as previously one nearly full.

My coc scan date is 13/02 still not with a dm but told it will be very soon. I’m not hopeful

Does COC get backdated to when we called for forms if they change the rate?

Yes from the date you submitted the change

I just rang and my scan date for coc is 19/02 was told same thing it will be very soon

When I had the call the lady never even asked if my son was wait me or to speak to him. They are very understanding that’s why we are the child’s appointee.

Hello my child will turn 17 in January and ive filled the forms for his pip application I've had a call from the assessor's this morning it was unexpected, it lasted about 25 minutes. She said to expect a a letter in 4 to 6 weeks.
My question is did you receive a text message? to say " thank you your pip review is complete.. we will write with a decision" or something along those lines. She said my child's pip application is paper based. I'm just a bit concerned I've not received that message
Thank you in advance xx

That's good to hear.
Also did DLA transfer all the details they had on file to PIP?

Another waiting game for me now. I’ve sent my dla forms off today for my other son!

Also, did a change on UC to say I’m a carer. And then messaged in journal to ask for disabled child element and carer element to be backdated to start of claim. Is that correct?

Iv updated my claim.put in dates do I need to do anythink else we have disabled element on already for 2 kids 1 claims pip and 1 gets lrc and lrm

They lost my sons dla.forms.for when u did pip but I had a copy

I only sent my sons EHCP with his PIP claim and I was not asked for any more information so I think they did am not 100% sure if am honest.

That's okay.
I have all of his EHCP's and his current one for college.
I've also got his autism assessment/ confirmation of diagnosis.
I also managed to find his original letter confirming his ADHD(severe to moderate) and ODD.

Oh you should be fine, I never sent that much in.

I used to work in benefits, hence why I keep everything.
Thanks for your help.

Do dla always call when you submit a MR? xx

Did you also do a change of circumstances that the child is receiving dla?

No. How do I do that? Because he’s the third child and we don’t get uc for him?

I’ve just done it. Thank you. Didn’t realise I had to do that. There’s just hell of a lot to do isn’t there x

Yes it was asking about high care components I did that put the date os that right I gets carees element i think my other 2 get just over 300 carers element a month does that need backdating?

No i just got a letter a week after the app with capata he use to get lrc and lrm but but gets lrc now we got the forms week after he was 16 and was awarded round sept for pip last Yr hes 18 next may hes award runs out 2027

Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Sent off my claim for my son about 10 days ago, had a text a couple days letter to say they have received it and the wait is around 25 weeks.

Then a week later I have had a missed call from DWP saying you've recently made a claim for DLA and she just wanted to confirm some details with me and would try calling again.

Is this normal? A week after receiving it? I mean obviously if she doesn't ring in the morning I will call and find out but my overdrive mind is panicking that I've made a really silly mistake for them to be calling so soon. I wasn't even expecting it to be looked at.

I'm thinking maybe she went to put it on the system and notice a typo in address?

Thanks

Can somebody help me. It says my money is paid from the Wednesday after the first day I’m entitled from 21/05/25. Can anybody tell me what date il get the next payment?

Thank you for your reply xx
