Re-applying for DLA was created by pompeyfaith
Greetings All,

After being a guest for sometime I have decided to join mainly because of the wealth of info just wish now I join before making my first claim.

Anyway I am in receipt of MRC which was increased on a reconsideration from LRC.

Been getting this now for 18 mths but no award was given for mobility which is my main concern as I should of been awarded it due to the SAH Stroke I had plus angina.

So the question with the help I now have with the excellent tools on this site can I reapply or is there a time limit?

Regards

Thank you for getting back, now my stroke was in april 1991 at the age of 27 now I was getting better all the time but for the past 2 yrs my skeletal has been getting worse and now have arthritis in my knee and hip and shoulder I can walk with a steppage gait due to drop foot but after about 50/70 yrds (rough estimate) I get pain in my knee and fatigue sometimes my knee just gives way and I stumble.

Dave,

Thanks for the link it is one that I used for my current claim but in hindsight I really should of joined this site a lot earlier as the info is amazing still that is now water under the bridge so to say.

I will get the forms again tomorrow and work on it one page at a time cross referencing to this site and the link you kindly posted above.

I t is ironic that only just the day Mr Cameron was saying that too many people claim benefits that they are not entitled too

I have been entitled to DLA since July 1991 but never claimed as I took that decision because my employer at the time kept my job open for me and on full pay and as I was earning well felt I did not need it and that there was many that did need it.

Now that I am medically retired I and in need of the benefit I made my first claim in June 2009 but am having a fight in getting what I am entitled too.

Teach me to be so honest and should of claimed back then and just banked the money for a rainy day lol
