Hi as well as my ESA coming up for renewal my DLA is too!. The DWP have sent me a four page DLA renewal form of which only two pages deals with health. The questions asked (3) cant possibly give a decision maker enough information. I will need to include some extra pages. Has anyone else received the short renewal form and if so how did you deal with it. I remember when I first applied I had to fill in this great long form pages and pages which was daunting but at least it allowed me to give full information

Any info would be appreciated

    I'd make sure that you have a copy of the "long" form to hand so that you can be confident that you've covered every single question on the long form.

    Four pages isn't enough and I think is only a trial in certain parts of the country.

    Lots of people have been tripped up with four pages though so don't take the chance that you might be also....

    Hi lizzie :D

    I've not seen this form but there are sure to be some peeps around later who have. :wink:

    I agree with what jemima suggested and I would include any copies of rheummy reports etc that you've had since the DLA was granted..... you can ask your doc for copies of reports if you don't have them.

    Good luck...hope both reviews go well for you. :wink:

    Copy the form when you've completed it, for your records, include any supporting letters (copies only, don't send originals) and write a letter for the other info you think they might need. Copy that. I wish you well. DD
