Been asked a question by honest joe ?

I sent a link to the DLA form that I used to fill in my request for a DLA review to another chap ex forces he filled it in as of yet not sent me a copy to see but he has added up the mins for care,

he has angina stroke asthma blind and incontince (dont think I have missed anything) he is 2 years older than me so thats 54

on care durring the day he says 6 hrs 21 mins total and night 36 mins no if our mps where like him we would have no problems I suspect he put a stop watch on everything done for him repeated it did it over three days and took and averaage (trainspotter)


I said if what you added up is correct you could if lucky get middle care but no idea if your anywhere near enough night care to get anything now

he is going to get the legion to help ith mobility but seems happy ith the care side of the form

I looked at chapter 61 and all stuff here and think he has a decent case, is this what he should be looking at ?

Just spotted that the "W" is missing from some words in my post's

Time to get the crumbs out of the keyboard

Hi dave,

The DLA guides in the members area give details of the criteria for different levels of care. If the level of care was accepted by the DWP it would be within the range for an award of the higher rate of the care component, depending on how care needs throughout the day were spread.

Thanks for that wont say anything yet but I thought middle as I did not think 36 mins was a lot of need at night.... but I suppose if he is supposed to be a sleep its a lot

Not sure on the spread but I would guess needs help getting up dressed and druged then feeding durring day and putting to bed at night also help with loo durring day
