With the exception of photocopying the form, this is all very poor advice.
I would go a bit further than that and say that completing the form on that basis is a fraudulent application. You are supposed to give a balanced view, good, bad and average days. Allowing the DWP to make an award based entirely on the worst day being the norm 24/7 365 days a year is plainly wrong.
If there is anyone on here who would like my sons DLA they can have it plus his learning difficulty, epilepsy & nerve ending damage. You try having a fit in the middle of a dual carriageway after the lights had turned green.
No amount of money will compensate.
It's about being honest on a DLA form but the problem is giving the worse case scenario rather than being positive.
