Subject: disability forms filled in at the hospital?

Hi guys when i went for my first visit the other day about my hip op the doc asked me to fill some forms in, they sound the same as every one describes the disability forms. the questions were about my mobility, my pain and my mood (did i feel like going out etc..) could i manage the stairs and the car how much pain did i have...could these have been the dissability allowance forms? i did nt ask at the time. Has anyone else filled them in at the hospital?
when you apply how long before they make a decision?

yes Jenny I have done them too.... my rhumatologist wanted to kn ow theses questions, as the DLA ask him to fill out a particular form....must have been that one......usually u will (assuming u get it) recieive it about 10 weeks after applying....long wait I know, but they r also writing to your consultants amd gp for info on u etc...how bad u r and stuff.....thast Y i think that was the forms he asked u to ansa questions for him....(hope im not wrong here) but thats what happend to me.... goood luck sweetie x

Thankyou jill I will wait and see what happens then luckily when i filled out the forms the doctor advised me to put down as if it was my worse day. It would solve a lot of problems as i am struggling with money probs at the moment. fingers and legs crossed (if i could!)

Hi jenny not sure if it wS DLA form you filled in. Wasit about thirty pages long? Other wise it will be a form for the specialist so when he rrcieves a DLA claim he will know what to write down as they see so many people ts hard for them to remember who.s who.?
Think I would ring his sec to find out. Otherwise you may be waiting for nothing and missing out on a couple of months money. Hope this helps take care xx
