DLA wait times 76

[HeartyGuide]

New Thread as previously one nearly full.

Thank you for this, yes she licks doors, lamp posts, slides, candles, people etc 🤦‍♀️ we have just started using multivitamins with iron in them if this doesn’t work she will be having the supplement drinks next appointment. I’m not sure how I’m supposed to get her to have either of them, she can tell I’ve put the sprinkle multivitamin in her yogurt. what’s your COC scan date?

Just managed to speak to someone she was awarded HRC and LRM

hi ladies. Can somebody help me. Friday, I got a message in my journal to say that there was special circumstances for disabled element and carers element. However had no letter or any correspondence about backpay? Does this go in with my next payment or do people receive the backpay earlier?

Oh brilliant ! So happy for you thank you for letting me know ! Havnt heard anything yet ! 8’ so nervous to ring ! When was your renewal due to end ?
mine is 31/8

Amazing news, congratulations, I bet that was a nice surprise to wake up to this morning, I thought I would have 8+ more weeks before a decision but it’s beginning to look like I may hear next week with all the end of March scan dates being awarded.

@El11 @Goshxo have either of you heard anything yet? They seem to be making decisions around your scan dates

Hi
nothing as yet
to be honest I’ve given up calling for updates lol

Hiya, mine is the same date, give them a ring, hopefully you have a decision as well 😊

I’m the same because unless they see a decision is made they won’t tell us anything, I’m just going to wait for a letter or pending payment. They seem to have missed a chunk of February and beginning of March dates and gone onto the end of March, maybe it’s there way of getting the wait times down.

I’m so nervous ! I will call

Yep exactly
it’s not worth the extra stress of being palmed off with more excuses
its such a headache thou
on a plus and if we are awarded it gets backdated from scan date

I just called it’s apparently with a decision maker still and I will hear a decision by 31/08 😩

Im waiting for 2 reports to be sent to me, they would both be really good evidence, if the wait times come down to 21weeks, like the latest coc’s done, then I have no chance in receiving them and sending them in on time.

Any evidence you have or receive send in tracked delivery as it is scanned within a couple of days
even though it does cost!!

I’ve given up and on hold
very much doubt like my status has changed!!

Maybe they will make a decision today . My childs must not of been with a decision maker long as on friday we were still in the holding queue.

I’m not sure I will even receive the reports for another 2 weeks, paediatricians take forever to send anything through. Good luck 🤞 let me know how you get on

Thank you for your reassurance it’s really helping right now the wait times are so awful

Still say it’s in holding queue and working on February claims could take another month

Thank you, yes it was a surprise as I was expecting not to hear back until late September. Now I have to wait until I hear back from UC. Good luck to everyone!

Oh no! I thought they might have made a decision seen as 23-26 March have been done, seems like even with COC they are all over the place. I know there is a lot of February scan dates still waiting on this thread too 🤦‍♀️ maybe I will have time to wait for these reports after all 🤞

think it’s More like pick of the bunch, hopefully not too much longer eh

what’s your scan date ?
im just going to wait now

It’s 8/4, I’m 20 weeks today. So I have possibly anything from 1 week to 10 weeks left 😂 I’ve been keeping an eye on augustlily for updates because she is the closest scan date before mine and has been awarded so it’s so hard to know what the wait time will be now.

Haha well let’s hope I hear before you
to be honest I’ve seen some saying in holding queue then next day picked up by DM

obsessed checking 🤣🤣

Hi guys,

So…rang DLA this morning to try and find out my boys rates etc. He was awarded HRC🥳We didn’t put in for mobility just yet as he doesn’t have a diagnosis, but will be doing so when this happens.

Unfortunately, they’ve only backdated to May. Slight kick in the teeth as they stated a note had been put on his case and to write a letter explaining DWP had lost his original forms from January and they had record of sending me my child’s deed poll document back in the post but hey ho. We’re taking that on the chin now, we’re just happy he’s finally been awarded and been given the award we believed him to be entitled to.

Thankyou for all your advice, fingers crossed those still waiting hear back very soon💛

I’ve stopped ringing when they said it’s 25 weeks 😂 I’m 22 weeks tomorrow so I doubt it will be soon x
