Hi, I sent off for a MR on the 1st of July and was sent a message yesterday confirming this and it says 25 week wait, would that be from when I sent or when they confirmed as that’s a 9 week difference 😳

I had a phone call from dla this morning (mr submitted on March 17th) they asked questions about my child’s birth cert and then asked questions about my bank and why the last name on my account is different to that on the form. Has anyone had this? My anxiety is through the roof 😬🤣

anewnameforme2121 · 24/09/2025 14:22

I called the DLA appeal people - apparently its 9 months at least for a court listing date 🥺 - submitted dd's in Feb!

Hi does anybody know with the carers allowance can they back date it to when you very first applied to dla? Says online something about 3 months just wondering if anybody else has done it to their original date.

Yes when you apply for carers allowance you put the date they have been awarded from and it will be backdated to that date, you don’t need to ask for it and carers allowance gets done quickly it took around a week for mine to be done

GrandmistressGlitch · 26/09/2025 11:09

Hi all, sorry if this is a silly question but what does this letter mean (see pic)? Is this the scan date?
