Hi i'm not sure if anyone can help, i applied for DLA for my 5 year old son, i received a letter saying they received the application on the 21st November i was surprised to find they had made a decision and paid his dla into my account last friday, only a week after applying!
I have not received any letters explaining the decision so i phoned them and asked what rate he had been awarded, i was told he has highest rate care allowance plus low rate mobility allowance at £98 a week, the amount i received last friday was for £110 which works out at one weeks payment plus £10 extra, He said i would get another payment next wednedsay but i was under the impression that he would get his payments every 4 weeks in arrears, has that changed recently?
I really don't know how much to expect next week, i was so shocked that he had been awarded so quickly i forgot to ask, i didn't expect anything until after the new year.
Could somebody please explain how it is worked out and how frequently it is paid?
Thanks in advance.
