Reduction in overall average since summer
The average time to process new claims for Disability Living Allowance is now 11 weeks.
That's reduced from 19 weeks in May this year.
The treasury minister confirmed the timeframes during this week's sitting of the House of Keys.
He also confirmed for Employed Person's Allowance it is 10 days, and for Carer's Allowance it is five weeks.
Michael Crowe told members there will undoubtedly be people waiting longer than average, but also some whose claims are processed more quickly:
