I'm considering my 3rd attempt for DLA. My GP has already offered to supply a letter of support, and I have letters from three of my consultants outlining my medical diagnosis and problems. These will all be dated between Jan to Aug of this year. However, I have a report from a specialist OT dated from late 2009 that outlined all my care needs, which have not changed. I wont be able to get another report from this unit, so it's a one off.
Will this OT report dated 2009 be of positive use or an hindrance due to it's age ? It's a very substantial and detailed report that caused some controversy during my last DLA application, as the DWP DM deemed it a forged document (long story, but my GP and the hospital backed up the validity of the report).
