My Partners DLA(556) form.

We have completed this form and submitted it with additional information. Make sure if you are providing additional information, every sheet has your name and National Insurance Number on it.

I would advise.Iif you get this form. You photocopy it and use a pencil fill it in. Then leave a few days and revise it. You will be surprised at how much you remember when you go back to it. You have 4 weeks to send it back.

Remember much of the information relates to when you have a "bad day".

When you have completed the original. Photocopy it for your records.

I am also going to submit a request under the Data Protection Act to acquire our original application forms & correspondence.

We noticed the following on the form :

  • Part 4 : " Do you need help or have difficulties caring for yourself" if you tick Yes it refers you back to the previous page.????
  • The form is split between Day and Night. When filling out the Night section. Be aware you may have already given an answer earlier in the form. You may want to refer to a previous answer and add additional information.
I am not advising you or telling you how to fill the form in. You sign a legal declaration on the form. If you are unsure seek advice.
