Hi there new persons here 
I have three disabled children
Claiming for two. I have a 16 year old unable to walk he has been claiming since 4.and I have a 7 year old on renewal. Three weeks ago I put in a claim for my third child and today I received a text have never received a text message from dwp only when I applied for the first time for them both.
It read
We've decided your child qualifies for Disability Living Allowance. You don't need to contact us about this. We'll send you a letter with all you need to know. If you don't get this within 2 weeks please contact us.
Bearing in mind I have sent off two forms one new claim and a renewal.
Which one would it be for?

Sending texts for successful claims is still quite a new thing. 3 weeks from returning the claim form for your one child does seem rather quick for a decision. We could only guess which child this is for and if you want to know then you'll need to ring them to ask.

@disabledmom Just to say hello and welcome to our online community, it's lovely to have you here. How are you and your family getting on?
It does sound very much like we'd be guessing at this point who the text relates to I'm afraid! Here's a link to the contact details for DLA, if you need it.
Please let us know how you get on and bear in mind we're here if you ever need us. Take care.0
