Hi Jacqui

DLA components are based on the help you need from another person, whether you receive that help or not, not a points system.

DLA is not currently awarded on the number of points you score.

Have a look at our DLA guides in the Members area for a better understaning of how DLA decisions are made.

ok thanks very much, the reason i wask is whan thay ask why cant you prep veg and food and i tell them wont thay say well you got a husband wht do he do it for you and so on.
like with the showring and stuff
thats why i wondered if the points were used because if you have somone else in the home you dont need to do anything yourself!
im only worrying about the appeal thats all my submission had been listed in the manner of she can: she needs : and so on and on the bottom of it it says this submisson is that she fits the cirteria for Disability Living Allowance i looked like its done for a points system i just hoping its ok am i allowed to add any thing thats not in renewal
thanks for reading this post Jacqui

DLA is based on your care needs, whether you receive the care or not.

So, your husband having to prepare the veg for a meal, because you cannot do it yourself, actually supports your claim :)

There are certainly criteria against which a DLA application is assessed, but it is more a case of whether you meet these criteria or not.

Please have a read of our claiming DLA guides, to see whether your submission covers all of the points it needs to.
