the 28th August is my scan date and I think it’s stressing me out more seeing new claims from October already getting news.

Just seen on fb a 7th April coc went to dm yesterday we cannot be far behind. I called yesterday about 4.30 nothing.

Thank you for letting me know, I’m not on Facebook but it sounds like COC are going to dm dead on 31 weeks, hopefully not to long left for us now 🤞 I'm going to call tomorrow, I will let you know what they say

Many congratulations hun xx
That's amazing ! X

Good luck I’ll see how you get on and I’ll call Thursday 😅

I no it a joke they take so long I rang yesterday and they said someone will contact me by Thursday they are a joke and 60 pound defo is not right let me no what they say hope they sort it for you xxx

Hi ladies, I found this thread after googling wait times for DLA.
It looks like such a supportive place 😊

I sent off the forms for my Daughter's DLA application on the 07/11 (self-harm, suicide ideation anxiety and awaiting assessment for Autism/ADHD)
It's a NC

I received a text saying that they'd received the application on the 10/11
Is that the scan date? Or do you get another text when it's put on the system?

Good luck ladies and I hope you get the outcome you're hoping for x

Thats exactly why im getting stressed too. Feel like theyre going to get declined. I am already going through one MR i really dont have it in me to wait for 2 more.

That's your scan date. You are literally a month behind and I received our decision today. It's a really quick process at the moment for new claims (which makes me feel awful as so many people are currently waiting for so long on older claims)

@Cutie101 thank you so much 👌
That's really good to know.
I'm going to try to forget about it now, so I'm not constantly checking the date and staring at my bank!
Fingers crossed I'll be lucky and get a quick positive result 🤞

I'm so glad you got a positive result, and just in time for Christmas too! X

If it helps, my child's application was for pretty much exactly the same as you have said.

I’m really hoping that those waiting get an outcome soon. I’m sorry if my post was triggering for anyone. Sending lots of love and support xxx

I'm hoping it goes through ok, I didn't print off reams of evidence, just followed the guidance I got from fightback4justice.

I figured if it gets rejected I'll go to MR and get all her medical records and info from school.

It's crazy how many hoops we have to jump through to get support, especially considering how much extra time we have to put into supporting our kids! x

It doesnt trigger me, i really struggle with waiting and im a serious over thinker. Im happy for everyone who has been awarded. The wait is a killer, especially when you dont know for certain you are going to be awarded for your child.

Hope you get the award your child deserves! Best of luck!

Thank you, he did get what he deserves and it will help him so much. I hope you get to hear something soon xx

It doesn’t trigger me☺️ Is a bit annoying when people come on complaining about their NC not being done in a few weeks because they have seen other people being awarded within weeks, I know everything is frustrating but it’s a read the room sort of thing and I know it can be annoying but realistically it is supposed to take 15 weeks not 5 weeks so if you don’t hear anything by 15 then complain😬, there’s a few people on here like me that waited 7 months for a new claim over the past year and are waiting 7 months now for an MR or COC. But I’m so happy that kids are getting awarded and quicker than ever by the sounds of it and that’s the way it should be and hopefully everyone’s MR and COC that we have waited long enough for get positive outcomes for our kids and they sort this backlog out🙈

Im also waiting for a MR and COC so i know all to well how frustrating it can be. I put my NC end of january/begining of febuary and was refused in july. Put my MR in 4th of august. And i know it wont even be looked at til March. Been waiting for COC since beginning of july and i know that will be march too. Im just worried that mines going to be declined thats all.

Im so happy for you that he got what he deserves 😁 Thank you!

Does anyone know what month there on with COC my scan date is 20th June

I also believe they should even out the wait times between all NCs, COC and MR. As i dont believe its fair that NC are only a few weeks but the others are waiting several months.

I hope you hear something soon and i hope your child gets the award they deserve and you dont have to fight it further. Fingers crossed for you! 😊

i know how can they not meet in the middle, 15 weeks for NC so the backlog can be brought down to atleast 15/20 weeks for Mr and CoC which is normal wait time for anything these days. It’s frustrating enough with the wait time for appointments, support and getting a diagnosis, that’s a whole other fight in itself so hopefully we hear soon🤞🏽

I’m hoping for a decision today I was 31 weeks yesterday for a COC - scan date 8/4

Honestly i dont understand it. They need to retweak the system. I know the waiting game for appointments, diagnosis and getting extra support for our children is a whole different ball game. Fingers crossed for you!!

Hi.
Nc 09.06 rejected

I sent in the MR recorded delivery on 15th October but have received no confirmation they have it. Is this normal for an MR?

Thanks
