Hi v,
Welcome to Benefits and Work
The Adult DLA Claims Guides in question are under this heading :
"DLA Claims"
3rd, 4th and 5th links down this page :
DLA Guides
There is also a guide under the heading :
"DLA Changes and Renewals"
Further down the same page which may help with your question regarding when you should return the DLA Claim Form.
You could also have a look at our : DLA FAQ’s
You may also find these documents helpful.
DM Guide AA & DLA :
www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/dmgch61.pdf
DR UK DLA & AA :
www.disabilityrightsuk.org/f23.htm
Qualifying for DLA is not points based, an award of DLA is made if it can be shown that the claimant's Walking Limitations and/or Care Needs fulfill the criteria.
This is explained in the guides above.
Please reply to this topic if you have any further queries.
