how long for dla claim

[thirteentales]

i sent my form in about 5 weeks ago and only received an acknowledgement so far.

how long are they taking to process them just now? its not a first time claim.

should i give them a call?

I would. Ours took less time than that, although it was a first time claim. Sent form I think beginning of Feb, got money in the account about 3-4 weeks later. Mind you, I did send my DS bodyweight in evidence

cheers. i'll phone tomorrow. although i did send a further 8 a4 pages of evidence, they were all from me as we've practically fallen out with everyone apart from the social work dept

Interesting. I'm in NI and sent my forms in last week (first claim was turned down when DS wad 5/6 months, he's now two and a bit). Got a letter today saying it was going to be 10 weeks!!

wips I got a letter saying it would be 8 weeks, but still got it in half the time, so you never know.

Fingers crossed! Will be v pissed off if it's turned down this time.

We've just got our renewal back - took 5 weeks and they had checked medical reports in that time. Good luck, it feels like a long wait doesn't it..

Ours took about 5 weeks and they had asked for medical reports from my GP in that time.

I posted ds2's on 13 th feb and got the decision letter yesterday ( renewed same rate 3 more years yay!). So it was about 6 weeks. No idea if the asked for extra reports tho , they did n't say .. I suspect they just looked at my many typewritten extra sheets, groaned and awarded :D

Letter today asking for more info / copies of reports. Have not got any reports but have given them permission to get them from paed/salt/OT/physio. Fingers crossed still...
