DLA wait times 76

[HeartyGuide]

New Thread as previously one nearly full.

Let me know if you hear... I sent extra evidence ( 2nd lot) last week but not expecting rates to change after seeing posts on here

I sent new evidence in on Wednesday but it’s a report from April that I just received, it covers the evidence I need it too but there’s lots of changes from that appointment that I’ve had to update on so hoping my little boy gets a better outcome this time🤞🏽 the posts on here always make you sick to your stomach when a child doesn’t get what they deserve, it seems to just be the luck of the draw sometimes, the week my little one was awarded in March I’m pretty sure 3 or 4 other people got awarded LRC like my little boy and I’m sure we all had good evidence and claims and 100% should have got higher, fingers crossed you get the outcome you want for your little one X

SD 24/2 for COC with lots of evidence, son has severe non verbal autism and mobility issues. currently on MRC.Applying for HRM been 27 weeks and gone from queue 3 to 2 to 1 now but still not with DM. Was told 30 weeks on the last call.

Every agent tells you something different

Think anywhere from 9 weeks. I've seen claims around 13.6 but someone else on here has seen later. I'm 23.6 and heard nothing yet

When I spoke to someone yesterday they told. Me Mr are taking over 28 weeks 😂 I think they tell everyone something different

@TwinklyUmberBalonz have you heard anything yet?

My mr is on 29 weeks and not even with a dm lol taking forever x

I feel your pain I’ll be 29 weeks next Thursday I can see it taking 30 weeks at least!

Hopefully not too much longer for anyone else waiting for Feb MRs.

My scan date was 03/02 and had back pay pending yesterday for the 1st Sept.

They called me on Wednesday to let me know it was with a DM. I've had no texts or anything otherwise and not had the letter yet, so still waiting for that.

29wks + 4 days for my MR. 53wks and 1 day since the original claim was put in (22/08/24)

Hi I’m COC sd 24/2

hi same here coc sd 24/2 call last week and I was told only a couple of weeks but I’ve seen a lot of March coc I’m going to call today not expecting to be told much though it’s been long

NC 8/7
SD 22/7

Called 22/7 to ensure it had been received as didnt get any confirmation. They said the waiting period is long so will be in touch didnt get an estimate timeline.
But everytime all I see is delays for people. Kind of not expecting anything till Christmas. In the hopes for a decision beforehand.

Sent a second lot of evidence in a week later. With IPP etc. Just hoping they see it as enough

Yes they do :-/
My ds was diagnosed asd and epileptic, he already gets mid rate care lrm however that was for his other needs, he is 13 but with his gdd more like 7/8 and with the recent epilepsy cannot do anything without supervision inc showering ( he still needs support for bathing anyway and toilet) and emergency medication has been prescribed that goes everywhere with him, last night his camera in room was alerting me to movements and some were his myoclonic seizures :-( but I dont know what else I can send to show needs meet hrc or hrm :-(

Good luck, I hope you receive your decision soon, you and all the rest of the Feb COC dates waiting, I don’t understand how they have just skipped to March with so many waiting in Feb. I’m not even sure there is any March COC left waiting for a decision.

So thought I would let you know ...have just completed and sent off the dreaded PIP form, for my grandson.
He is transferring from DLA to PIP. Daughter is his appointee.
Does anyone know or had an assessment when transferring over?

How it was explained to me by dwp, there is different case workers assigned people, so your one might have a lot of back logs, whereas someone else might be upto date with their case load.

Hi, are you the other April COC? I’m 8/4, it’s going to be interesting to see if they carry on with the 21 week wait for April claims like they did they end of March. I will be 21 weeks on Tuesday.

Yeah I am haha, my SD is 14/4. I saw an april 5th be done on reddit, so we shall see! I need send more evidence over, but waiting for surgery at the moment.

No way! That is so close to my scan date! I was hoping for a few more weeks before I receive a decision, I’m waiting for a paediatrician report to comes 🤦‍♀️ I think we are the only April COC on here

I had my MR back received a letter Friday. Decline scan date for Mr was end of march. I spoke within someone a couple of weeks ago and I told them I would be sending in more evidence around September. He told me I would have plenty of time im looking at end of September/October time for a decision. Yet it's been done alot sooner I think 21 weeks I waited. Pathetic reasons why it was declined I swear they don't even look at the evidence. Because I had sent in evidence for all the requirements for HRM. I was told to go to a tribunal by a family member but I just don't have the energy or time. I hope everyone else gets the decision they are expecting and aren't waiting to much longer.

When was the 5th April done?

What I read on Reddit was that they called to check on friday and they said a decision has been made, and she can see a pending payment for next week.

That means she must have been done just before 21 weeks, oh I’m nervous now!

I’m panicking as well! I’m waiting for my sons Physiotherapist to write a letter for us to give DLA about his mobility needs, he has leg splints, and a disability pushchair. She’s on annual leave on and off for the next month and a half though 😭 doubt they will recieve by time a decision is reached!

I would call Dla and let them know you are waiting for a letter from the physiotherapist to support his Dla claim so it’s on the system. I may do the same Monday. I will keep you updated if I hear anything.
