I'm hoping someone could help me with completing my Childs DLA form please, I've put it off for so long now as I'm frustrated with it and its not helping my mental health thanks

Hi @Alex24, welcome to the community. What kind of help do you need with the form? I'm sure our lovely members will be able to offer some advice if you've got any questions. I'll put your post into our DLA section where they can find it more easily.

If you're struggling, some people find it helpful to speak to Citizens Advice or a local benefits advisor, so that could be an option too

Hi Rosie thank you for your message.  There are a few questions that I find hard to answer in regards to my child’s diabetes like no. 23 and 37 so far!  Most of it seems based around physically disabled children rather than other disabilities.  I’ve left a message with my local citizen advice centre as no one could take my call. 

Putting my post on to the DLA section would be very helpful - thank you

Hi @Alex24, I'm looking at a sample claim form online and 37 is asking if your child has any educational health care plans in place. Are you using the same form?

If some of the questions don't apply to your child, that's okay. Some questions will be more relevant than others, depending on why you're claiming. It's worth taking some time to consider each question, as you might find that certain information could support your responses to the more relevant questions.

Contact has some tips on filling out the DLA form which might be of interest too.
