Hiya,new and lost..needing help was created by lymegirl
I have just joined and due to my condition have no clue where to look first!
I am already getting DLA but have just received my renewal forms, EEEEKKK!
I have lyme disease chemical sensitivity , electric sensitivity and all the co infections that come with a tick bite. -I have had this for many many years, neurological, the worst kind...lyme mimics lots of other illness's MS, ME, CFS FIBRO, PARKINSONS etc.
I cannot take any info in and have to do everything spontaneously as if i plan it my brain says no, your not doing that.
My fear is filling out the forms as since the last one i may of adjusted but not a lot of change...but lyme is not really recognized within the NHS and were treated like trash....i can no longer due to having septicemia take antibiotics and i am now all natural , seeing a natropath..another worry as no one takes them seriously either. I get high rate mobility but scared they will stop this as i can now get out more with carers, scared they will stop my DLA altogether with the new changes.
Without DLA and my carers my life would be point less.
sorry to go on but just trying to give you a brief! insight...there is no way i can fill out these forms with my brain, lots of damage from lyme...so now im here..what now...help

Welcome to the forum.
I'm sure you already appreciate this but if you do not complete and return your DLA renewal, your benefit will stop, so it is essential you find a way around your problems.
You may be able to get assistance from your local CAB or Welfare Rights office, a broader list of supprt agencies is available in the following FAQ.
Where to get advice?
Even if you get assistance, it would aid your case to read our DLA claim guides, these are available on the following link;
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/dla/#dlaclaims
If you have specific questions, please come back to the forum.
