Hi and welcome
DLA doesnt exist anymore except for children and those who haven't yet been migrated over
It has been replaced by PIP to be entitled it us about how your condition affects your daily living and mobility
There are a set of descriptors you are assessed against like preparing food, bathing , dressing, walking, communication and so on
There is lots info on here under the pip section0 -
