Hi, I just wondered if anyone had recently applied for DLA for their child and how long they had to wait for their form to be processed? This is the first time that I have applied for my daughter and I sent the application in a month ago and still haven't heard anything to say that they have received it?
I rang them last week as I'm concerned that it has been lost in the post, but the lady reassured me that I shouldn't be concerned yet. She said that it wasn't on the system as of yet, but that there was quite a delay in them being scanned on to the system at the moment.
My friend sent her form off last week though (a renewal for DLA, not a fresh application) and has already received a text to confirm they have received it! Now I'm once again worrying that it has in fact been lost, or perhaps fresh applications are dealt with in a different department to renewal applications?
It would be nice to know how long others have waited recently. Thank you
