How Long Do DLA Letters Take To Arrive?

On Monday I requested letters from both ESA and DLA to confirm I'm in receipt of said benefits.

The ESA letter arrived on Wednesday. However, I'm still awaiting the DLA letter nearly a week on.

I live in London and I know DLA is based in Blackpool. Whereas my JobCentrePlus is in Basildon. Would that make a difference?

Thanks.
