ADP and disability

[Thornlee]

Hi all, I was diagnosed in October Thank God at last and I had some lower rate DLA awarded for another issue. I wonder if anyone had experience with the Scottish ADP system? i need to send them what is called a change in my circumstances form. I am desperately worried they wont acknowledge the life changing impact of FND. Please if anyone has any experience or advice... Thanks,

Brian, thank you. I scanned and uploaded medical evidence of unconcsiousness, incontinence, social phobia and depression. So, I am hoping they do the same. Could I please ask, how long did the process take for your wife?

God it was quite a while she applied in November last year and got awarded early June but it was all backdated. I've just moved over to adp from pip and just done my review so will see how that goes I can let you know

Please do, i also have Caeliac disease should I have added that to my form do you think, its pretty crippling at times. I read about your Colitis - my sister struggles with that, good luck with your review! Was it a face to face interview they made you have?😔

My wife never had to have an interview they just wrote to her doctor and that was enough evidence. I had a telephone with pip 3 years ago but I'll see what they do with my review ill keep in touch 👍👍 yeah I would tell them everything and how it affects you on day to day
