That's insane it's mad how long the wait is I rang today still not allocated to anyone

Hi does anyone know how long uc are taking to verify the change once they are told the rates? Thanks

hi when did you put the change on journal. I’ve been waiting over a week almost 2 weeks now

Oh no, when my boy first got dla a couple years ago they took 1 day to verify! I only did mine on the 16th april 🙈 hopefully you wont be waiting too much longer! At least i know mine isnt anywhere near being verified yet 😅

🙄 the wait gets worse the longer it goes on doesn’t it

Hi all, I’ve just submitted for a tribunal online. Will be back with updates (eventually)

literally 😂 thanks I will let you know if I hear anything also, got everything crossed for us 🙏

I’ve just seen on FB someone with SD 18/03 has had payment this morning. Hopefully yours may come in tomorrow! (And mine soon after haha)

Everything crossed for us 🙏 i seen a few April dates on FB! So annoying you would think it went in date order wouldn't you, one person said they had a decision within a week its bizarre! Surely we cant be too much longer, I will be sure to keep you updated if and when I hear anything 🤞

It seems they aren’t going in order or when things were scanned as there’s people on here still waiting from September but some having a decision or MR from November. So may still waiting from October including myself. Still waiting to be allocated after 26 weeks.

I'm 26 weeks and last week told its still waiting to be picked up hopefully we get an answer soon such a long wait

Can anyone who has posted fairly recently advise as to when they got the text confirming receipt. I sent renewal form on the 16th April, no text and so I've phoned today and they've not received it yet.
Very worried now as I was very last minute sending it. The lady on the phone says the royal mail are taking a month to deliver to them!!

Called this morning it's with a decision maker fingers crossed for us all how long can it stay with a Decision maker?

I haven't heard anything and sent on the 30th of March.

Mines been with a DM since 5th, I last called on 20th & still with DM, they told me could be with them for up to 6 weeks 🙄. 31 week wait so far

Wow longer wait then for us they must have a lot to work through

I posted mine on 30th March, I sent it special delivery and got a text 31st March confirming they've received it.

how long are COC taking atm.. does anyone know? SD - 24/4

@Kizzy0204 I've seen one person say 8 weeks but no one els has said anything my SD is 2/4

does anyone have the contact telephone number and options needed to speak to someone for Dla renewed please

@MumOfThreeWoopee hey lovely just to update i had backpay this morning! So must of been done towards end of last week, hopefully you will hear real soon aswell as you were only a day after 🤞

COC 12/03/2025 decision was made in September and HRM declined, MR 15/09 decision was made on 11/04, that decision remains the same as my daughter is not "severely mentally impaired" even though she is 6 and a half and has a cognitive age of 18 months old, so I asked for a tribunal hearing on the 20th April. Now her renewal came up and still declined HMR due to her only needing supervision or guidance on unfamiliar routes which is not true so I guess I need to ask for a MR again for her renewal? It's just so frustrating that they had all the information and she still got declined.

Got the text that they have received our form sent on the 30/03/26 via freepost today. Fingers crossed. Not massively confident as not lots of evidence but he is on the autism waiting list, speaks very few words and is not yet potty trained at four.

Why is the mail taking so long at the moment!
I know I shouldn't have left it so long to send in but I am going to have to do a new claim now and I didn't take a copy as I didn't have time. Hate writing these forms and now going to have to do a whole new one.

Good luck with your claim.
