I'm NC SD 18/03 so a week after you, from what I've read there taking really quick around 5-7 weeks. 2 years ago I waited about 20 weeks just done MR for that renewal so in for a long wait for that one.

Wow that’s super quick I will call them at my 6 week mark then see what they say
yeah my sons NC last year took bang on 15 weeks 💛

Yes seems like they are flying through them atm! I was going to do the same, if i hadn't heard by 6 weeks give a call to see if it was with DM or even decision made as the letters take ages to arrive dont they! Good luck 🙏

My MR was 5/9 and a decision was made Friday so hopefully not too much longer for you
The time from not with anyone to a decision was literally a day so it moves quickly

Ah pleased for you that you got the outcome you were looking for! I’ve asked my MP to give them a little nudge god knows if that’ll help. 28 weeks is just too long to be waiting and then all this to potentially get a no 😭

Positive post ladies 💛 NC SD 09/03 woke up to a back payment in my bank. Will call at 9 for the rates & how long for . I cannot believe it’s taken 15 days 💛 gd luck to all of u 💛

@Busymumxo I’ve woken up to a back payment this morning from DLA thought I’d let u know as ur SD is close to mine 💛 gd luck hopefully u won’t be waiting long

On a separate note
I was told I have a payment issued Friday
Should I have got it today because I haven't?

No it will be Wednesday as it’s 3-5 working days mine was issues on a Thursday received payment Tuesday

Hi all - just found this thread. I sent a NC 5 weeks ago and haven’t heard a peep. Do I need to ring them to check they have received it? So frustrating!

Oh wow thats super quick!! So glad you got the outcome your little one deserves 💕

I am the 09/09/25 28 weeks yesterday. I have also emailed my MP yesterday too. The call handler yesterday for DLA even told me to contact my MP. Please let me know when you get an outcome. I seen someone done an MR in February and got their outcome x

Thank you payment was in this morning but she was awarded last week so 10 days from my SD absolutely gobsmacked
let me know your outcome I’ll keep my fingers crossed for u 💛

Yes ring them, mine took 3 weeks from
them signing for it for them to scan it onto their system 💛

NC SD 09/03 So I rang them to find out the rates as woke up to a payment this morning in my bank.
my daughter has been awarded HRC & LRM until 2028 💛 she was awarded last week all in all from my SD it took 10/11 days
gd luck to u all 💛

Thats madness isn't it, they really are getting through them quickly! I think that's the quickest I've read, so pleased for you! Thank you, I will keep you updated 🤞

It’s absolutely crazy never ever seen an award given as quick as that, thank u so much , yeah please let me know 💛

Congrats 👏 that's so fast! You must be so happy the wait is over xx My SD 06/03 not heard yet.

NC SC 25/02. Anyone had updates from around this date? I want to phone but feel like its way too early to even ask them.

We are 18/02. Called this morning and told it's received and loaded on, but no current timeline.

Tysm! I'll leave it for now then, hopefully we'll hear something soon 🙂

I’m a NC SD 09/03 decision was made on 20/03 back payment was in my account this morning (24/03)
Took 11 days from scanning to a decision 💛

Thank you 💛 I hope u hear soon urs is before mine aswell , let me know the outcome 💛

I don’t understand how they can do NC in any order , I was ringing daily after 2 weeks tho as they signed for it on 16/02 I thought it had been lost I received the txt on 09/03 to say they had scanned it on their system then decision made 20/03 payment in 24/03
i hope this info helps and I hope u all get what ur little ones deserve I will be popping on to see some positive posts 💛 gd luck to everyone 💛

Thats amazing, glad it was nice and quick! Im in constant wait mode at the moment. Terrible with anything like this. Fingers crossed it won't be long
