DLA Waiting times 2025

Good morning, I am new to this.
I applied for Dla for my daughter in October 2024. Scan date 16th October 2024.
I caved in and called yesterday, told that someone has been assigned to her case now. Does anyone have a rough idea or similar situation as to how long a decision takes after being told this?

I have sent my paperwork today i didn't think we had to pay for postage but my post office charged me 7.00

When I took my DD application to the post office they said there is no way to pay for tracked/recorded postage with the address that is given!? They said they needed a postcode, but I couldn't find one anywhere online!

Yes my son got middle rate care and low mobility same as last time

Gamze88 · 06/08/2025 10:50

I just rang to see if my daughters claim has been looked at. Scan date also 1st may. They have just told me a decision has been made but they can't tell me. I haven't received a text message. So I am guessing its been declined.

Gamze88 · 06/08/2025 15:22

Just an update. Rang back and chose dla enquiries option 4 on the menu the last one. And spoke to an advisor who told me my daughter was awarded high rate care done yesterday.
