Care Question DLA

hi

my daughter is filling my dla form and on the care part question 38 which is

I have difficulty or need help: How often? How long each time?
• with putting on or fastening clothes minutes
or footwear
• with taking off clothes or footwear minutes
• with choosing the appropriate clothes

The problem i have is that my daughter helps me with all of them these apart from choosing the right clothes but i am not sure how many times to put as she helps me with putting on clothes and taking clothes off and fastening shoes etc

when i get up i need help to get dressed, i can go back to bed about twice a day,and if i have had an accident which can be twice a day and then when i go to bed and maybe at night time if had an accident so how many times should i be putting in the boxes?

i hope this makes sence
thanks

Hi,

Put how many times on an average day this occurs and how long it takes. You can qualify your answers on a continuation sheet to explain what you have put above. Just make sure you put your name/national insurance number on every attached sheet and also the question/page number to which your continuation answer refers (alos put words to the effect 'see attached sheet' next to the question on the form.

thanks for that. the question was sort of confusing for us. so i would about 6 times a day? do i include the night time changes aswell?

Hi,

Yes, if they occur and you need help to 'recover' from them. Again put down how often and time taken etc. You can add anything further to the continuation sheet as I mentioned above.
