    hiya,if your not appealing then yes you would have to fill the forms out again.
    if you can get an appointment with cab or dial to help & try to get gp to write a report for you.
    i was turned down,then appealed but stupid EMA dr that visited at home said''prognoses is good''for my appeal & i lost it.
    i have OA,degenarative(get my drift) :shock:
    so this time i got CABs help the DLA wrote to gp for report,result,high rate mobility Lower rate care. :D
    you can down load the forms,but CAB can take upto 8wks for appiontment,so if i were you i'd ring for appointment asap.
    any more help you need just ask.
    i have read your story & this is the last thing you need more fighting eh!!!!
    good luck,debsx

    I think its 3 months had to do this with incapacity benefit. when i was turned down first time the next time i got someone from dla to fill in the forms over the phone and the next time they decided to write to gp and i got it .
    Maybe it will happen like this with u :) as i have heard they do turn down first time to a lot of people. I wish you the best with it and hope u get things sorted from joanne :)
