  • try social services, they may be able to help either with adult services for you or kids services for children.

    contact dial uk (or affiliate in your area) for help and advice on applying for dla again, they will help with the forms etc. much more likely to be awarded. or join benefits and work and download their guides to do it yourslef....but do apply again.
  • Hi I agree with purple definitely apply for dla again.
    Best wishes
