6 weeks to them could mean when its picked up by the next person for processing, give it til Friday morning and if you don't hear I would fone so that you can get peace of mind.

Hi mason

As it has been 6 weeks I see no reason why you cannot call the DWP and ask them when you can expect to hear from them.

You calling them will not change whatever decision has been made so please don't worry that calling them will change anything.

Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

Wishing you less pain and more peace

I had mine 3 weeks ago, and am up and down thinking surely I will be entitled.

It's plain to see them I think I've no chance when I see people on the news people with ms getting their cars taken away from them because they drive their children around the corner saying they can plan a journey, why on earth do they call it personal independence payments if you can't take your kids to school in the mobility car. It seems you definitely deserve help with every aspect of your care I wish you good luck, and hope you hear from DWP soon and have positive news. xx
