Advice about 1st DLA Renewal please

hi, I started receiving DLA this month for my son (MRC & LRM backdated to last September, after it was refused, then looked at again and accepted) and literally a week after I received the letter saying he is entitled, had another letter saying it stops Sept 13 and I have to claim again.

is this how it usually is for a renewal? a whole new form the same as the first one? (I know im probably being daft, but I just didn't expect it to be as daunting as the first one, or arrive this quickly.)

Also, do I fill it in now? (its not due until September, so things could change a lot by then) or wait until nearer the time? I have no idea how long they take to look at it.

any advice / experiences welcomed, as im completely new to this, and Sept 12 was the first time ive even tried to apply, mainly because I wasn't sure we qualify, and was terrified of the form!
