I feel your pain -ours are due soon (also done 2 years ago) and I am already stressing.
Little and often is a good idea, but I bet I end up with a last-minute panic!

Mine is due in June - what a wonderful birthday present!

Phoenix4725 · 04/02/2010 05:35

bah ds is due May am hoping we get more than 2 years he was awarded last time

trace2 · 04/02/2010 08:55

ds due any time now

5inthebed · 04/02/2010 09:36

Mine has just been renewed, they gave DS2 5 years this time instead of 2! Thank god for that!

Good luck filling them out everyone. I found it easier getting someone to help me do it.

DD's will be sent out in June - renewal in December.

Why is it that I am already worrying about them lowering her care rate, when she still wakes lots in the night, still needs 1:1 at preschool, will be going to special school, has a blue badge, etc?

Logic tells me that she will go up to HRC LRM from HRC (she turns 5 in December), but DLA don't do logic, do they?

lisad123wantsherquoteinDM · 04/02/2010 11:29

do you want the number for the people that come and do them with you? herts based and they do the writing?

meltedmarsbars · 04/02/2010 13:49

I've just filled mine in (last done 2005), I did it slowly over a week.

Now waiting for dh to read it before I send it off. He hates reading anything, let alone DLA forms!

Take your time, make notes first if you need to - you might find ideas popping into your head that you don't want to miss out on the form.

Our renewal is due in June - when do you usually get the renewal packs through?

SparklyGothKat · 04/02/2010 18:36

DD1's is due on the 13th june to run out, so you should get the pack soon. I have phoned Money advice unit and someone is coming to help me with the form, I really can't face it this time. I have Dd1's statement review next month along with her secondary school transfer assessment so I need this like a hole in the head
