They are people that didn't even have a single evidence they got the high rate.so don't worry about that too much.

Hi all, my son's DLA is due for renewal in March. Do they send the renewal forms? How long is the wait?

Mommy2boys30 · 15/10/2024 13:27

Mummyof3safire · 15/10/2024 09:36

So did it only take around 4 weeks for you , would u say ? Tia x

From what I have seen on here before with UC back pay it can take a few weeks up to a few months it's pot luck, I was on tax credits at the time they took 3 days

They should do 20 weeks before your renewal date if not give them a call, they will give you an update pretty much near your renewal date hope that helps

Got through to a less than helpful advisor who said it is still with a decision maker and will take up to two months for them to make a decision.

I'm assuming it is his way of getting me not to call back anytime soon.
The only extra evidence I sent was from my sons consultant stating he is virtually unable to walk and has a significant mental impairment.

Rachdaislil · 15/10/2024 18:34

It's been a long wait my SD was 16/5 I received a text at 5pm today and my daughter is eligible! I called up friday and they said they were still waiting to hear from the school! I have no idea what she's been awarded as I haven't had a letter or any back pay (not sure when this will happen) but I'm over the moon!

MrsW12 · 15/10/2024 19:31

Hi all. Do you think it’s worth sending this from senco in as evidence?
