Any body no when the back dated gets paid is it 3-5 days I forgot to ask

Alk19 · 24/08/2021 13:18

@Lhmym yeah that's a good idea that's enough for them
The payment normally takes a few days I got awarded Saturday money was in Wednesday but I'd check tomorrow as it might go through as a faster payment with dla being paid in a Wednesday x

Hi really sorry to jump on this post but I sent some forms to dla last Monday recorded delivery, I've tracked then and still not saying they've even been delivered I'm worried they've been lost, has this happened to anyone? Thanks

Lhmym · 24/08/2021 14:23

@Boof23 I would ring up Royal Mail with it having documents init

Boof23 · 24/08/2021 15:21

@Lhmym I have rang royal mail they said 10 working days then its considered lost 😢 I rang DLA on the off chance they nay have recieved it but they havent yet, I really hope it's not lost 🙏🙏🙏 x

Lhmym · 24/08/2021 15:25

@Boof23 I hope thay can sort it it’s possible dla as recived it but from what I been told in past it goes to loads diffrent departments and then goes on system I had loads issues with royal mails that’s why in end I got dla fax number from them

leslie77 · 24/08/2021 17:58

Does anyone know if DLA is paid in advance or arrears? My daughter got one weeks payment today after getting her last full (four week) payment last Tuesday two days before the claim ran out. I'm wondering if the unexpected one weeks payment made today might be a bit extra that was due at the end of the award or if they've finally sorted the renewal out and somehow paid one weeks worth of money today 🙄 they close at four here in NI and im in work all day tomorrow so can't call Sad

PeppaPigPocoyo · 24/08/2021 18:31

They received my daughters new claim on 8th of July, I’m still waiting... haven’t received any texts or letters of them, I had to call to make sure they had even got it... almost 7 weeks!

Mummyto2boys22 · 24/08/2021 21:28

@PeppaPigPocoyo people who’s were scanned on 28th have only just been done so I reckon yours will be another week Atleast

MyDcAreMarvel · 24/08/2021 22:31

@leslie77 dla is paid in arrears.

Nmhx · 25/08/2021 11:45

Hi all
I made a new claim for DLA 17th June. Forms received 2nd July.
Still waiting to hear back a decision. Called today told its taking up to ten weeks.
Only 3 weeks ago people were hearing back decision at 7 weeks.
So annoying!!

Nmhx · 25/08/2021 11:50

It took 3 weeks after posting form I received a letter saying it was scanned on 2 weeks prior the letter. I had called during that 2 week period to checked they had received it and was told they had nothing yet. So not quite sure what’s happening

Lhmym · 25/08/2021 12:02

Any body no when back pay goes in I got my son desision yesterday

Daisydoo5 · 25/08/2021 12:11

@Lhmym normally takes 3/5 working days, so should be Friday unless there's a delay due to Bank Holiday x

Mummy2boys1520 · 25/08/2021 12:25

@Lhmym when I rang and they told me the decision the women I spoke to said it will most likely be Friday

Lhmym · 25/08/2021 12:29

Cheers lady’s x

Daisydoo5 · 25/08/2021 12:43

Wish me luck im on hold to get thru again 🙏 x

Lhmym · 25/08/2021 12:52

Daisydoo5 · 25/08/2021 12:55
