DLA text saying it will take up to 38 days to make the decision on our claim!

That sounds ridiculously quick for a first claim?! It was a huge stack of paperwork that I sent with it but I thought it was meant to be 11 weeks for a decision.

we had our first claim dealt with in less than 2 weeks - got MRC - I sent a letter asking for reconsideration & was awarded HRC by return post; so they can be very quick!

Excellent graciousenid - however as things are at the moment I'm expecting to be declined and then I can only be pleasantly surprised if they do accept the claim - it's about time for us to have a bit of good luck!

We requested our pack on Feb22nd, it had to be returned by April 1st, we found out on Thurs last week that DS had been awarded middle rate care component. Hope yours will be quicker than ours, but it will be backdated.

they must be on the ball lately. mine was all sorted in 3 weeks with DD1. it was a renewal tho

Fingers crossed then that it doesn't take too long

DD2's 1st claim was dealt with in 2 days. Seriously.

Paid into the bank within 6 days, award letter arrived here 8 days after i sent it in.

Wow!

Nine months for dd1, two for dd2

ive had some take 3 months in past and others 3 weeks theres no telling but appears really quick atm hope its a good result for you

I hope it's the same here! Just sent Nemo's renewal back which I was surprised to get, I thought we had another 12 months but it would seem not.

Good news for those who will/have heard early

our last one took only 8 days! (that was a couple of weeks ago)

Last year is was 18wks, and 16wks.

wonder if they have a new system?
