DLA Renewal deadline

I thought I might have to return it before the 10th, which I guess means by this Friday. Do I have 2 days or six weeks to get this back?

thanks

You have six weeks, but it is very important that the DWP receive the form by the return date.

If they do, then the claim will be treated as starting from the issue date on the form and will be processed for DLA, if you do not, then it will be treated as starting from the date it is received, it will then be past the deadline of 10 June and refused, you will then need to make a new claim for PIP.
