What the title says really! Logan has Down Syndrome and is 1 next week, but I've not applied for Disability Living Allowance. I've had a look on the government website but was scared off by the form and by reports of people spending hours filling it in and getting nothing (or the lower rate), then having to go to appeal. I've been told it's the most depressing form I will ever fill in and that I have to describe the worst day possible in every question.
It also worries me that Logan's development seems to change on a weekly basis at the moment and that whatever I put on the form will end up being wrong by the time they get it???
I know Logan is entitled to that money really (the Down's Syndrome Association says that Down Syndrome should qualify automatically for the medium rate) but I am too much of a wuss to apply.
Any advice? Or are you in the same situation too??
