Hi blonde

An award is sometimes paid into your bank account, prior to a decision letter arriving.

Hopefully the letter will arrive soon.

ok , i phoned today to find out about payment and if there was something holding up the decision as my claim ended 2 weeks ago and they have my forms 14 wks Well the payment was the final payment of the claim that ended 2 wks and they have only received my GP report which is now with DM just have to wait another while !

how long in general do you have to wait on a decision to be made on dla i am now in week 15 on renewal i did wait 24 wks on first time application and only 10 wks on second renewal.
i also noticed on my second renewal the letters ad/dla/ren and on this form it was ad/dla/ne does this mean anything ?

Hi Blonde

Please see -

How long does it take for a DLA claim to be decided?

You could phone the DLA unit on 08457 123456 quoting your NINO & ask them how your renewal is going.

coming into my 16 week of (DLA renewal) i decided to ring the DWP again and got a very nice young lady that was able to tell me all the dates that everything was sent back to them and that the atos dr only sent back my medical on friday ( just took them 3 weeks) and now that the DM has everything that i probaly wont have long to wait. Hopefully getting very anxious !
