Waiting to Hear about DLA now

I know they will have received my renewal form now and I'm just a wreck with worry. If its renewal and I already have a Dr statement in it - do you think they will still write to the same Dr again ? Do they ask them different questions if they write to them ?? Is the routine always the same ? Will I just get the acknowledgement they have the form letter ? Or is it just possible I would just get a letter saying they have renewed it or am I just living in fantasy land there ?

Good luck with your renewal, dont worry about it.

They are a law unto themselves so trying to second guess the DWP is futile, you here of some awards coming through in three weeks without any problems but others take 12 weeks.

There is nothing else you can do for now so try and relax until you get the brown envelope.

Remember that websites give a distorted view of DLA claims because its only the people who have problems that post while the 50% or so claims that go through easily dont post incase it sounds like bragging.

After 2 weeks you will get the acknowledgement letter,then they may write to GP,although if you have sent a letter from him already they may not,renewals were taking 11/12 weeks they seem to have speeded up abit in recent weeks
