I know its a bit late in the day!
Can you please tell me which is the preferred method of applying for DLA.
1) Sending for a claim pack?
2) Filling in the online form?
Thanks
You cannot apply for DLA online, you have to donwnload and complete the forms on your computer
If you request a claim pack then it will dated and your claim should then be counted as starting from tha date, providing you return the forms within the given timescales.
If you do not, or you use the "online" form then the claim is counted as starting from the date that the DWP receive the claim.
So if you are able to complete the forms quickly then the claim pack is the way to go.
