when i applied in may for dla. i had not been diagnosed with emphysemia. i didnt have my wheelchair for out doors and had not been assesed for the stair lift or shower.

so im told all this would not be taken into consideration. only the info on my form would be looked at.

IS THIS THE CASE AND SHOULD I MAKE A NEW CLAIM

Hi there, yes now you have had a clear diagnosis you should most definitely put in a new claim. You can download and print a claim form on the direct gov site. Also make sure you make copies of every letter received by or from your G.P and or consultant. Get a letter of all conditions and diagnosis and put them in with the claim form. Let them know how your illness, condition or disability effects you on the worst days scenario. Good luck.

Hi Ann, the DLA awards clearly state that you should advise them of any changes, either if you are getting better, or if you are getting worse. Sound like you may qualify this time! And, as cuddles64 (cute!) had said, concentrate on the worst day scenario, not on what you CAN do. Good luck! x
