Waiting for 10 weeks now!!! was created by Dragonia
Further to my post last Thursday, in which I explained that the consultant the DWP want a report from is in the US till 28th May.
I have now been told by the consultants secretary that the DWP have told her that they will wait till he gets back.
Does this mean that they will not make a decision till after they get this report.
I have been waiting for 10 weeks now, and my present DLA ends on 21st June..
Is there any onus on the DWP to come to a decision before my present award ends.
My GP is appalled by the stress this is causing, and is very supportive.
Is there anything I can do to bring this to a conclusion

The DWP will continue paying your DLA until another decision is made. I don't think there is any onus on them to get your new claim decided before they are ready.

I think the consultant means the DWP, namely DLA, can wait until he returns from his holiday in the USA before he considers doing a report for them!

Sorry to correct you, but I am reasonably certain that DLA payments do not continue after the end of award date (e.g. 21/06/12), unlike ESA and IB which continue.The DWP will continue paying your DLA until another decision is made. I don't think there is any onus on them to get your new claim decided before they are ready.

Yes, as I understand it.
