re dla
Hello and welcome.
Im sorry that you have had a hard time not working anymore:sad:
The answer is yes you can put in a claim for dla.
Go to the DWP website and there has all the numbers to call for a claim pack.
You must put your worst day down on the form, otherwise they don't really take much notice.
I was told i had Lupus 2yrs ago, i put in for dla and was refused 3 times, i was then told to go to a tribuneral to dispute the decision, and they were right i won my case (it took me a year to get it) and they backdate all your benifit from the date they first get you application in.
I was on the high rate of mobility and the low rate of care, but i now need carers to help me, so they put me upto the high rate of both parts, it can be a lot of money, and you can claim it and it will not affect any of your other benifits, you can claim it in your own right.

I really hope that you get on ok with your claim, let us know how you get on ok?
Also on the DWP website are the amounts of dla you can claim, with the top rates of both parts of the dla are £455 per 4 weeks.
Take good care of you and hope that you are feeling a bit better very soon.
Warm regards to you
love
