You didnt mention in the post if your daughter has any behavioural problems?
Whats a typical day for you in terms of behaviour?

also send them away asap, my son is 3 on 30th december i sent mine in july and have already had the confirmation that he will get it from his 3rd birthday.

I've always been told to fill the forms in on when they are having a bad day. think there is a helpline you can phone

I have always been advised NOT to go off the worst day, and to go off an average day as worst days may not be all the time and may just occur once every blue moon, so they would be judgeing you on something that isnt day to day basis! (sounds mad, but its just somthing i was told from here aswel as DLA themselves!)

So if you could, do a day to day planner (next week) and work out the 'on average' days as to what ur daughters needs are throughout that week and not just 1 day!
Hope this helps x
