Help with DLA forms

sambo31

My DLA forms have came in the post and ive had a quick look through and i will need a gsce to fill them in lol so i've phoned my local CAB and have been told to go there where they will help fill them in for me my Q is do i need to take all documentation for my sons illnesses such as medication, letters from specialists etc and where it says to include letter from my specialist this is going to be a bit hard as my next app is in October would it be possible for my own GP to fill this in my son is also due to start a wheat and milk free diet so shall i wait for all diet sheets to come in the post so that i can include these also.

Any other advice would be much appreciated

CEREBA (go to Parent Support then click on Guide to claiming DLA) Have a DLA guide on page 68 of which there is a Health Professionals checklist. If you could fill this in and send it to your Health Professional this will enable them to write a report which contains the relevant DLA information.
Reading the guide will enable you to see what information is needed and what is irrelevant. There is no point in overloading the Decision Maker with irrelevant information but the names of current medications will be helpful as will the most recent diagnosis where they confirm current needs.
