How to summit the application mountain?
Im trying, for the second time, to apply for DLA for my kiddo. I don't necessarily need to go into his needs - lets just say he's got about 8 different consultants for his complex medical needs that takes us to hospital at least twice a month.
I'm sat here, again, with mounds of medical evidence - letters, tests, home mobility modifications, EHCPs, prescription lists, statements etc.
But I'm just feeling defeated. The burden of caring for my kid plus job means that I barely have time let alone energy to conquer this mountain. Even with help. Because at the end of the day it's still me that needs to collate and draft all this stuff. And, like last time, the pressure of simply getting through the week means that the DLA application never gets done.
Any advice? How do others do it when, perhaps ironically, 99% of your energy is spent dealing with the situation for which you're seeking help.
