DLA QUESTION was created by Mel B
Hello everybody
Could you please clarify for me.
On the old DLA form 143 medical report which is still used here on the isle of man.
The statement block which the doctor fillls in and is supposed to read back to you and you have to sign as the person providing the information at the bottom.
Are you just signing concerning the information in the statement block or for the whole medical report ?
What is DLA 146 ?
Concerning a new DLA claim if after the appeal fails do you have to repeat all the medical issues
that was on the first claim application plus the new medical issues as an addition for the new claim.
Many thanks in advance
Cheers

In the rest of the UK, the claimants signs to acknowledge that they are the person referred to in the claim and on the claim form, there has been no requirement for a claimant to sign-off the assessment report for more than three years and I think it is actually five. I am not aware of the procedures being any different on the Isle of Man.
I cannot find a reference to a DLA146 either in the forum or the internet, but I am wondering if it is the old DLA Assessment form that the doctor assessing a claimant uses. From one of your previous posts
which is consistent with the current DLA Assessment form.
On the assumption that you can/will be able to make a new claim for DLA in the IofM then it would be a completely new claim, you need to start completely from scratch, new claim form based on current care and mobility needs, all evidence to be re-submitted.

Their response should be directed to the area(s) highlighted on DLA 146, but you should record anything else they may wish to add.

I have merged your latest post with your previous ones.
As previously stated, the requirement in the rest of the UK is for the claimant to sign to confirm that they are the claimant being assessed, not for the content of the medical report.
