Can anyone offer any advice on appealing against our recent refusal for DLA? We received it at middle rate for 1 year and now they have refused it. My daughter needs more support than ever at the moment and I am a single working parent. Like other parents, completing the forms leaves me in tears as she is completely in denial at the moment, won't eat properly, doesn't want to go to hospital appts and it's so stressful for us both. Every day is a battle trying to maker her eat breakfast, check her bloods, when I ask her what she eaten at school half the time she won't tell me. She has hypos all the time, sometimes during the night. I've given up on a social life, hardly ever drink as I know I have to be there for her. I do know that she needs for more care than my son who is one year older.
