Hi,
Can any one be sent a form to fill out???
Just a bit worried as my mum is 67 and really can do without all the hassle. She has an indefinate award for both components of DLA.

Try not to worry too much about the possibility of your Mum having to complete a DLA80 form. I'll be 67 this year and about 18 months ago this happened to me. I returned the form, was visited by a HCP for a medical and had the results in three weeks. I retained my indefinite DLA award (HRM and HRC).

I know it's the piece of string scenario but how long is the wait to hear back about The Right Payment Programme? I sent my form back mid March and haven't heard yet. Reading the forum some seem to hear with in a couple of weeks others taking a few months. Is there a particular reason why some take longer? Or is it merely depending on who's desk the form lands on?

I have noticed, or it seems so, that more people are being contacted to complete DLA180 forms.

As always thanks for the prompt reply Gordon. You're more than likely correct reference the number of RPP's and the site as it's the new car factor you never notices the make until you're driving one lol.

Just another question do they always contact the claimant before contacting GP's and Consultants etc? As when I've submitted the good old IB50 in the past they haven't informed me and said in the result letter "From Evidence you submitted and your GP's report!" or words to that effect being the first I've known they've requested a GP's report.
