PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Disability Living Allowance: Children (17 November 2023)

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate his Department has made of the (a) number of applicants awaiting a decision and (b) average time between receipt of an application and such a decision being made under the Disability Living Allowance for children as of 17 November 2023.

Asked by:
Karin Smyth (Labour)

The information requested on the volume of applicants waiting for a decision, and the journey time from an application received by DWP to a decision made, is not readily available. To provide this would incur a disproportionate cost.
