    I not 100% certain but believe DLA has been replaced by PIP ( personnel independent payment)  if you google PIP on line it should tell you how to make a claim.  Make certain you have all your medical info to add to the form you send back to the DWP. Good luck

    Dogfather is right. DLA doesn't exist now for people aged over 16. You now have to claim PIP.

    Hi @lolo124,

    How are you getting on?

    As @Nystagmite mentions above, you may be eligible to claim for PIP. We have a handy benefits checker tool on our website which can give you an idea of what benefits you can apply for.
