Wanted to update. Have now had DLA renewed. This time is for an indefinite period. (or until they move the goalpost) So maybe thats why they were asking info on hospital admissions, who knows. Just so very relieved. I used the guides on here, so many thanks to all. And thank you to CD, orginaldave, pete who gave their advice
