As far as im aware they shouldnt need to know what other benefits you are on if anything so i persoanly would ask what this information is actualy needed,
Also ring ur local doctors etc or whoever the DLA have wrte to requesting a report and get them to hurry the claim along.
And again as someone else said you will get the DLA backdated to the date stamped onfront of the claim pack. so if you are awarded it you are in for a big lot.
Goodluck hun and keep onthere case x

In that case huni. Drive down to who ever is ment to be faxing the form on or ring them and ask for a copy.
Then post it onto DLA ur self but make you send it via recorded sign for so you know exactly when they got it. & retain the tracking code for future reference. Xx
