Hi all,
Just following on from the previous thread - apologies if anyone else has already started one.
Sent our renewal claim in, scan date middle of May.
Phoned on Thursday and was told that our claim had been renewed on 18 August, awarded the same as previous - HRC and LRM. Such a relief for it to be all sorted out.

DLA renewal which expires end of this month. Scan date 9th June. I've called twice and been told that it'll be looked at before the current award expires.

Wow that's crazy. I wonder if anyone else has had a decision for later in June

Lynseyb91 · 08/09/2022 13:31

@KMO3 Is yours a first claim or reclaim? That’s really fast! I sent my form beginning of June but they didn’t receive it until the 15th of June so that was my scan date x

KMO3 · 08/09/2022 13:37

Ah I know it's been 10 weeks today, it was a first claim
