Hi MM,

I can't really tell you what to write down on your DLA80, for obvious reasons.

You can really only put down the facts, as they pertain to your mobility limitations and other needs, etc.

You should find the DLA Guides in the MEMBERS only area helpful with this review.

It is quite possible that the DLA Decision Maker will use your recent ESA medical report as evidence in deciding your review of DLA.

If you feel that anything written in the ESA medical report is errant or potentially damaging to your DLA review, it may be worth while challenging it now.

cheers

Hi MM,

I obviously also should have said, that if there is anything advantageous to your DLA review in your ESA report, you, could use that.

I was sent a DLA80 review form end of 2010. I was given 3 wks to return it, but I rang them and asked for a couple of weeks more and they agreed. I completed and returned it, they sent a HCP (he was a Dr) to see me after Christmas, and he said I'd get my result in 2 weeks which I did, and nothing changed, I kept my HRM, HRC.

Sorry, I know nothing of ESA as I am retired.

Good Luck

Hi MM,

As well the B&W guides, you may find this document of assistance as well re: Mobility Criteria etc.

Have a look at page 37, 61251 onwards.
