hi my 12 year old daughter dla runs out on the 9th of January I was sent a renewal form that I filled out in November but I've still had no reply from them . does that mean shes been refused it

hi @blightycufc welcome to scope, it probably doesn't mean anything either way, what I would suggest you do is to contact them on Monday, 9a.m is the best time to phone.

Hi @blightycufc and welcome ......Not getting an answer from DLA does not mean your daughter has been refused DLA . There is a huge backlog at this time .
I think your best bet is to give them a phone and speak to someone directly . 
Please have all your your information( and your daughters information)  in front of you when you phone , good luck ....and please let us know how you get on ?

blightycufc

thank you . I will phone them .

Hi and welcome I would imagine they haven’t made a decision yet as even if refused you would have been notified give them a call as advised

Rewarded? Do you mean they are going to continue to pay the DLA until a decision's made on the PIP?

blightycufc
