I'm currently waiting to hear back about the DLA180, right payment programme, I sent back to DLA near the end of March. When my medication was changed, by the consultant at the pain clinic, I sent in a letter stating additional information. After advice I got from here, from Pete I believe, and after phoning DLA and being told to outline the effect the new medication had on me.


This might seem odd to ask but do certain departments of the DWP have days they send out mail or is it a constant flow?

I don't think there is any pattern as to when letters are sent out.

Yeah I'm sure there isn't. Just I always seemed to hear back about the old IB50's on a Tuesday lol

Just thought with the amount of mail going in and out certain days might be set aside for collections etc.
