copy pasted form my reply in the other thread pap has linked you too



apply again, i know its hard and disheartening but start the ball rolling for a new claim and see if there is a http://www.dialuk.info/ in your area, they will assist in the claims process and form filling, through to tribunal again if necessary but you wont be on our own, and advise what else you might be able to claim. if there is no dial local (use the find a dial link on the dial uk website to find out) then try CAB, again they will help.

or alternatively may i suggest the http://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/ website, they have lots of info about disability benefits, and excellent guides available to members (which unfortunately costs, but i think its worth it) and i knwo of many people, myself included, who used their guides and got awarded dla.

it really is all down to wording, and also spelling out exactly what you cant do, in terms a 3 year old could understand and giving examples for each and every point. an help/advice place should be used to wording it just so.
