Carer's allowance question.

Most of the delay appears to be in the assessment stage, once the DWP have the report I would expect a Decision in 1-2 weeks, providing the report is viewed as being OK, if it isn't then it will depend on whether the report can be re-written or whether a new assessment is required, I'm hoping we are past this stage, but it is too early to say.

Your Topic refers to Carers Allowance, do you have a question on it?

Hi Guys.
If only?!
The DWP received my assessment from Capita on 30th of April. At the time I was told DWP was trying to make decisions within 3 weeks of receiving report.
That was now nearly 5 weeks ago!
In the last of my now weekly telephone conversations with DWP they said it could be by the end of this week.
I am not going to hold my breath but I am "girding my loins" for the appeal process should it be needed!

Oh dear, Steve, that's not what we wanted to hear!
