If you are keeping a diary (which is a very good idea), then this will prove that you are not being honest on sthe forms, if the forms are filled out with worst days only. In addition, if consultant's letters are asked for, they will not back you up.
I wanted to provide information on both my better and worst days so the DM got an accurate picture and I reduced my paranoia of being awarded something I wasn't entitled to and getting done for fraud.
It seemed to work as I was LRC/LRM (I was only expecting LRC) on the basis of my form and a report from my consultant.
Good luck with your claim0 -
i used the NAS dla supplementary information form - available from their website. really helpful.
would echo what mrs manda has said about stating 'see extra info' on all the answer boxes. i have been helped by a local specialist charity (no NAS around here) and they have reported that they always do this with claims.0 -
hope this helpful to you:
