DLA FIRST CLAIM was created by Georgei
Hi, I have mental and physical illnesses. I am about to start filling in the claim form for DLA.I have read through the guides but I'm still confused. Are both mental and physical issues answered on the same form. e.g. Walking outdoors, would I put the physical and mental problems to answer this question . Another example would be cooking a meal for myself. They both sort of cross over. Any comments would be welcome. Thanks

I hope this explains it.
