Thankyou for your reply.. I will apply again, the dla has been so usefull to us and helped in many ways.. I just want my son to be well and when the consultant told us he was in remmission on medication i was really really pleased.. its just the not knowing how long.. the consultant said its 50/50.. but he is still on medication ( methotrexate and other strong medicines ) these cause horrid side effects without the effects of the disease.. so maybe i should try and renew the claim.. Thankyou again.0
