    Please try to keep your spirits up.

    They are most probably just gathering all the information they need.

    This all takes time. Doctors and specialists are busy and it takes time for them to send any info to DLA.

    This happened to be a few years back. I actually rang my specialists secretary and she said that the letter from DLA had been put to the back of my folder. She said she would sort it out ASAP. She did and i got DLA again.

    The last time i applied at the begining os june i sent all the information i could possibly give them. All doctors letters, appointment cards, prescription list. Anything i could find i sent to them even if i thought it wasn't important.

    I was given a decision very quickly.

    Please don't worry too much.

    Good luck

    Thanks Emily, up n down days :) I even sent them stuff from my housing (as Id set the kitchen on fire and the caretaker checks on me to make sure im alive!) and all the bits I thought would help.
