DLA renewal 5 months early?

Hi,

My DLA is up for renewal on the 22nd December 2013, but I have received the forms today. I have heard they are sending the forms out earlier, but 5 1/2 months early seems a bit too early can this be right?

The letter doesn't say when the form has to be returned, it just states return as soon as possible. Could you give me an idea when to send them?

I don't want to be too early on the other hand I don't want to send them in late.

Thanks Rainfordgirl

We would normally expect DLA forms to arrive about 4 months ahead of time, so I do agree that yours are a bit earlier than usual. At least you will have a bit more time to get the form completed and evidence gathered!

We cannot tell you when to send the forms back as there are pros and cons for any action, but this might help

When should I send my renewal form back?

My own reassessment forms arrived, as expected, about 4 months ahead of time and the decision was made within a few months. I was pleased to see that the decision takes effect from the expected renewal date.
