Good, you will have to let me know how you get on!
Il call in morning see if I have the time to send it off. 21 weeks ive been waiting this week for the ncs. Its now starting to get to me badly that ive been waiting a lot longer then people and when i ring they say its done in date order which it definitely isnt! Lol and thank you, i hope yours is sorted fairly quickly too! The waiting around is the worst! Xx

I've just rang DLA and they said new claims are taking up to 6 months?? I've seen so many new claims done under 6 weeks tho?

Thats just a generic response. Theyre definitely not taking that long. Im the longest person on here at the moment, im on 21 weeks but mine is a twin claim! X

anyone else still waiting for a Mandatory Reconsider from June? I’m at 29 weeks this week, as of last week it still wasn’t with a case manager?

@Red1991 called this morning and they are finally with a case manager. Just wonder how long it'll take now!

Ah I see. Bloody hell that's a long time! I've just seen your post that it's with CM so good luck! X

Just phoned regarding mr July. Still not with dm. Keep saying done in date order when it's not as aug/sept have been done

Aww wicked they should have deffo sorted by the weeks end everything crossed for u im sat tryna pluck up the courage to ring gives me anxiety and if someones rude I will kick off lool x

It is, and thank you! Good luck on your claim too! X

Im hoping so and i hope i get the outcome my twins deserve! It is nerve wracking and some of the call handlers are so rude. Have you ended up calling? X

My MR is begining of july and i havent heard anything x

I’m 29 weeks tomorrow for MR, asked for it to be made priority last week but not heard anything since. Xx

Have you heard anything I’ve just had the same messaged it’s gone to a decision maker which is odd as I got that same message last Monday x

Wow I can’t believe you are still waiting mine took exactly a week after they told me it was with a case worker fingers crossed for you

Yup still waiting here, not very patiently either! Haha im sick of the waiting now, i hope i find out this week. But knowing my luck will be with a case worker for a while before i get a decision. Thank you, i will update on here once i find out x

Positive post!

SC 2/12, called for forms 19/11.

Son is 21months old, suspected Autism and severe development delay evident since 6 month ASQ.
Weren’t hopeful in the slightest, didn’t have much evidence besides a letter from our health visitor confirming GDA referral and development delay, sent copies of ASQ scores and a week long sleep diary and “incident” diary. Incident diary detailing need for constant supervision due to poor mobility, no pain threshold and complete lack of awareness to the world around him.

Called today for an update, was informed that a decision was made 7/1. First person weren’t disclosing decision so called back using the options 1-5-1-4, informed that my son has been awarded HRC until 11/27! An absolute huge weight off my mind which now enables us to provide safer sleeping arrangements and meet sensory needs better. 7 weeks from start to finish.
Fingers crossed you guys still waiting hear back soon!

I can’t believe it hopefully it’s this week and it shouldn’t matter if it twins or single child should be done the same as everyone else.

Yeah i know it shouldnt, its a joke. I know il probably have to do a MR as i know my twins should be entitled to HRC. I have sent in lots of evidence to back up everything. But i always have to fight so know its going to be the case xx

my scan date was 30/05 got refused 04/09 done mandatory reconsideration same day and rang yesterday told me they are only now on to Junes MR. I Sent extra evidence off and why I disagree with the decision they lost it so I had to wait for them to investigate where it was cause I had it tracked and signed so 2 weeks ago I had to send another load off and a letter from her teacher. The unknown is killing me my daughter is autistic and has a curve back and hyperflex joints which affects her walking etc. has anyone had it done quickly a answer of longer just what I could expect I pray it won’t go to tribunal TIA🤗🥰

My MR is begining of july and im still waiting too! My daughter is autistic and got combined ADHD. She also has hip dysplasia, has bowed legs, bladder and bowel incontinence. I got turned down for NC sent of a lot of extra evidence so im hoping hers doesnt get refused too!
It is very stressful waiting and i feel your pain especially when it was a complete decline and you feel like you'll have to fight all the way to tribunal. X

Mr 6/6 still waiting, 31 weeks!
from a total decline.

Does anyone have any idea how long renewals are taking at the moment?
I also didnt recieve a text to say forms had been recieved should I be concerned?

When is your current claim ending? My ends on 14th Feb and not heard anything yet.

I never knew they could see on the system every time you ring! I’ve been told not to ring again 🤣

Mine isnt due to end early March so think I have a while to wait yet! Did you get a text when they recieved your form?
