DLA - Back pay

9 replies

AncientSpinningWheel · 18/09/2023 18:35

Hello, I have been awarded DLA and got a phone call to confirm my bank details on the 13/9 and then a text message shortly after. I know I have to wait for the letter to confirm payment dates, but the lady on the phone said that the back dated pay would arrive on my account over the next few days. Today still nothing and as there was some confusion over my bank details I'm starting to worry. Can anyone reassure me that it takes this long? I can't even call them as I work 9 to 6 and it takes well over an hour to get through.

My sons DLA gets paid every Tuesday. So, as it was Wednesday that they confirmed it, I'd give it until tomorrow or Wednesday for it to go in your account.
Congrats on your claim 👏

I got a text confirming we'd been successful on the 13th and pay went in today. Hopefully yours will be in soon

Ah brilliant. We got the letter on Tuesday which is the same day the money went in. We got HRC and LRM for 2 years, so happy
