    Presumably you receive HRM of DLA?

    If so, there is no reason why it should take any longer.

    Unfortunately many councils do taike longer, whether they should or not. Good news, safetyone - I'm next door in St. Helens and they have always been quick. It does make a difference.

    Nice to see them doing well. We were about a week this time to wait. Think it's something to do with it all being done in a central processing place rather than local authorities doing it now. That's what they told me anyhoo, this is Scotland though, might be different down there :)
