They will most likely ask for more information. What date did they scan your MR? I’m still waiting for mine from 01/05

NC SD 31/7

Good news here!

A payment ref DWP DLA is showing up as going into our bank account tomorrow, our claim must have been accepted! I haven't received a letter or text and I have no idea whether it's backdated or how much DS has qualified for, whether he got mobility and care or just mobility.

It's really good news I know, and the money will make all the difference. It's still bittersweet though as I'll have to properly accept he has a disability now 🥹

So sorry @Hoori291 it seems like a totally random system and hope you hear back soon. I have no idea why ours came through after such a short time (just under 9 weeks)
