Response time to a DS1500 form was created by Richie L.
My GP has submitted form DS1500 as I am terminally ill.

Do you know how long DWP take to process this and complete it.
I know it qualifies my for top Care allowance but what else could I get?

Many thanks, Richard

Sorry to hear your news.

Normally it should take less than a week but things are not normal so my advice would be to chase the DWP every day or two until you receive the Enhanced rate, the Mobility may require an assessment and you may have to explain why you qualify.

You should be entitled to the LCWRA element of UC again as a rapid claim but again you will need to chase, the DS1500 should remove the five week wait for a payment with UC.
