DLA do they get longer to respond was created by Trundles
Hi all,
Still working on my appeal. just wanted to know, I sent a letter to the DLA asking for all the documents and emails used in making their decision (as suggested on this site) I believe they have 40 days to respond to this? During this time though I decided to appeal as I only had 30 days to get that letter to them. I am still waiting for the info (past 40 days now) do they get longer as Iv now said i want to appeal or should I be getting in touch with them. I phoned them before I sent in the appeal form and they said someone was getting it all together.

many thanks to all

As far as I am aware, the fact that you have submitted an appeal does not change the 40 day desdline in any way.

You can complain to the DWP about their tardiness in this matter - but I don't think it has any bearing on your appeal.

Did you request the information by letter, or by a Subject Access Request, if the former, then there is no timescale for the DWP to respond, the 40 days only applies to SARs.
