Hi Dawn I think it depends on where you live, some areas are not as far behind as others... Good luck sue
Hi JiveAce
I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? I think mayrose54 has hit it on the head, as it really depends in what part of the country that you are living in.
I have pasted below the telephone inquiry number and website address for the helpline is case you wanted to contact them and inquire?
Telephone: 0845 712 3456

I can tell you that my wife applied for DLA and it took 3 months from posting her application to receiving the award. In the interim, she received an acknowledgement letter about 5 weeks after the initial claim. She has Primary Progressive MS, and she was not even paid a visit or assessed in person. It was all done through letters to her GP, consultant and MS nurse. We live in Derbyshire by the way!
I sincerely hope that yours is this straight forward, and I genuinely hope that you are successful in your claim. Please keep us all up to date with how you get on.
All my hopes and dreams for you.
