If he chooses not to manage his own affairs then you can act as an appointee .it all depends since he is 18 whether he is capable of acting on his own behalf, if not you can act as appointee.You will get a home visit to make sure you are not coercing him which is very straighforward,hope that helps... :)

I've merged the two threads you have created, to make it easier for people to answer your questions.

I'm not sure if the link you are referring to, but have you looked at the DLA guides in the Members area.

Click on the Help for Claimants link in the orange area on the left of the page, and them on the Disability Living Allowance Claims link.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

If you don't think your son can manage his own affairs then mention it to the DLA,they won't mind.To become your sons appointee you will have to be interviewed probably at home,before you become appointee.

you'll be fine.
