Sorry I am new to thisn

There were previously huge delays with both child adult disability payments. Fortunately these have reduced significantly and it is now around 4 months.

Hi @Rwbecca2020. Don't worry, you're posting in the right place 😊

As Emilee said, it could be 4 months of waiting, if not longer. I hope the decision comes through soon for you.

Hi @Rwbecca2020. I understand your worry, hopefully they'll award you. If you do disagree with a decision, here's some information about appealing - Disagreeing with a Decision.

There are no timescales for decisions. Once it's made you will be sent the decision letter. Hopefully not too much longer now.

Rwbecca2020

Thanks for replying?I've never been through this process before x it seems to take forever

You're welcome. Claiming disability benefits is never usually a very quick process.
