dla

[Creeper8]

My daughter gets dla at mid rate and low mobility. I was awarded very easily and within 3 weeks no questions asked. filled out the forms myself. she due a renewal and suddenly i am worried! I Heard it can be stopped or lowered. We couldnt manage without it. am i best of getting help filling in the forms this time? and if so where do i get help?

There are loads of really helpful closed groups on Facebook - just search DLA.

The Cerebra guide is also highly recommended.

oh thank you both will definitely take a look!

We are currently applying for DLA for our son for the first time ever. His social worker helped me fill out the paperwork for it. I basically described my son’s diagnosis and therapy and equipment needs to them. I included photos of his braces and his wheelchair too on the form.
Also I recommend involving any doctors or therapists who are caring for your child too. I carefully selected a few reports and letters from the therapists and doctors and sent them off as additional evidence with the paperwork.
Now we are having to wait for a official decision to be made. I’m hoping that we will be awarded HRM and MRC for our little guy he can barely walk.
