DLA wait times 76

[HeartyGuide]

New Thread as previously one nearly full.

12/5. I’m in for the long haul 😂

Oh no I have literally just come on here to see if you had any updates & seen this!
I’ve just completed my review today and now waiting for this part so looks like that’s a long wait!

It’s absolutely crazy that you are still waiting, you must be 28 weeks plus by now surely! I hope you get some positive news next week

These wait times are crazy 😵‍💫 Feb dates are waiting over 28 weeks and March dates are being done at 21 weeks, so I don’t know what the wait times will be for April and May 🤦‍♀️

I rang yesterday and they said it wasn’t with anyone because I needed to leave a note on the system, rang back today because I’ve seen so many march cocs being done and apparently it’s been with a dm for two days already 🤔 I don’t know what’s happening I’ve given up anyway 😂

Right now I’m kind of grateful for the wait as I need my daughter’s consultant to write her report with her autism diagnosis so I can send it in. But after that I’ll be badgering them lol

Im waiting but scanned date 16/05 so if they taking 30 weeks we are half way lol

Mine was about 11 weeks. I submitted my forms on 7/5. However i submitted my other child’s forms last week on the 19/8. What’s the current wait time for NC? Also, still waiting for UC to contact me regarding my back payment. They’re taking the pi** too!

Oh I hope it is with a dm, I think some of them just can’t be bothered to look, if it has been with a dm for 2 days atleast they must be having a good look at all your form and evidence properly, good luck

I’m in that situation right now, I’m 21 weeks on Tuesday and I’m still waiting for a paediatrician report to send in saying how my daughter isn’t making progress ( infact she has regressed ) and they want to do tests to find out why. I thought I would have another 7 weeks but I’m not sure if the 21 week wait will now continue into April.

They did say it should be next week I’ll hear something but I don’t know anymore they’re telling everyone one thing and doing another, but we will see, thank you! 😊

Have you chased them up for their report? Everything just takes so long these days doesn’t it 😩. Have you gone for a change for mobility? That’s what I’ve done under VUW. I’ve sent loads of evidence and 2 walking diaries too but I highly doubt she will be awarded. She’s 3 and a half

Hey hun I actually got a reply today I called them yesterday after posting on here and the man said he will put a note on the journal which he did and within an hour I got a reply from someone from service centre saying a decision will be made by the 7th Sept which I was happy about but today about 4.30pm I got 2 letters on the journal saying they have agreed to back payment nothing about how much or when but I guess as it was late in the date I should hear back next week x
Hopefully yours won’t be too long now review been completed x

Thank you, they made it on 26/08 x

Come to think of it she jsut told me on the phone a decision hasnt been made yet but didnt say if it was with dm or not, any time ive rang before theyve told me still in que or dm hasnt picked it up yet. Am I being delusional thinking that it might be with the dm? 😂😂

I would say call tomorrow and ask but you just never know if they’re telling the truth when you call them 😂

Fingers crossed for you, let me know how you get on, I hope it’s the award you was hoping for 🤞

Haha I remember thinking that when I got to 15 weeks and now I’m 20 weeks I’m thinking could it possibly be next week 😂

I emailed them yesterday to chase it up but they usually take 3 weeks to send the report and we was only seen a week and half ago, I don’t think it’s going to come in time. I might call them Monday to say I’m waiting on evidence to send in and tell them what it’s about. I have done a COC for care and mobility, I’ve done the test for smi criteria but her walking diary could also meet VUW criteria. I know it’s hard to get Hrm so I would be happy with hrc and LRM from her 5th birthday.

Yeah we were literally seen Tuesday just gone so will be waiting for another couple of weeks for the report. I really hope that they award it for your little one! It’s all such a minefield isn’t it

You’s are the closest to my scan date 06/05, keep us posted if yous hear anything, seems to be going a bit quicker for some people so hopefully i hear some sort of update by the end of September as that’s 21 weeks for me X

😂 you have the Dla wait brain where we question everything! I would be thinking the same though! Hopefully if it is with a dm you may have a decision by Monday.

I will! Please keep me posted too x

Thank you lovely and you too, hopefully we have both done enough for Hrm 🤞

Yes she did other week iv told her should not be long i was tempted to send more letters for her as daughter has cancer but not sure as it could be looked at soon
