Hi atti

My advice would be to contact Citizens Advice who would advise and help you fill in the forms. When does your award come up for renewal?. This is when you are asked to apply for PIP, DLA's replacement and is the time to give them how your illness has changed!. Hope that's helpful. X

All you can do is ring up and talk to them, if you are still on DLA, you will have to apply for PIP. Most important get some specialists advice on how to complete the form either on line or from CAB

Good luck
