Oh well it that time.....DLA Questionnaire....

[joe69]

My DLA is up for renewal in Dec 13, but I got the new forms through Tuesday this week 6th August....

Am I worried, then yes, I have started to fill it out. It's very mind boggling....

I am being very truthfull when doing this, but there is a part of me thinking that am not going to get it this time...

Do I have to tell fibs to make sure I do get it. I know what I go through on a daily basis, but it's so hard to put it into the words on which they are looking for....

I now feel that my life is now going to end. What do you have to do, too make these people believe in what your telling them is the truth....

I only got my award last year, after being turned down twice from 2010, with 2 appeals through this time...it's very mind straining and really gets you down....

Is this one going to be the same? Well am thinking it is....

You all take care x

Hello Joe

BOB here

They give you quite a long time to fill the forms in, all you can do is fill it in to the best of your knowledge, not forgetting all the things associated with your condition. You have been through a lot of stress this last year I do not know if you are having treatment for that,so tell them how it is.

Do not fill the form out straight away, do it on paper first, answer one question at a times do not feel you have to rush through it, if you need assistance the citizens advice can help you fill the forms in. Tell the doctor that you have received the form, He has most probably heard from them as well Have words regarding your mental health, and what can now be done to help with a new health plan that may be carried out over the next eighteen months.

Try not too worry, you have support use it well

All the best

BOB.

ps nice to see you back

Hi joe69,

This is my first post but I have enjoyed reading all the q's &a's for some time. I just wanted to add that you must tell them what you are like on your worst days too.

I don't know where am going on this one folks, actually it's starting to do my head in.

Am getting myself worked up about it, thinking the worst is going to happen.

The last time I went through this was in 2010/11. I got help from the welfare rights at the local council, on which my claim was refused, they made many mistakes and I found out what a said wasn't put in the way I said it. They put it in their words on which made me loose the claim. I had to go through appeal, on which I got help by a retired nurse, sadly she's no longer with us.

So am feeling lost. Yes I've started to fill the form out, but I feel am just wasting my time, it's all going to fall through.

Yes, I will admit that my depression is not helping me, am just so worried am going to loose it all again.

Joe.
