Perhaps anyone who doubts the onerous nature of the DLA forms and claims process should download a set and work through the questions as if, say, they were the parent of a severely disabled child or themselves disabled.

Of course this will only give an insight into what the disabled have to go through on a regular basis (in addition to coping with their disabilities of course) but it might just open a few eyes... Having said that, very few people who aren't disabled and reliant on DLA will really appreciate the stress, pressure and often emotional 'pain' involved in claiming, knowing that a slip-up or omission might cause severe delays to a claim or even the rejection of it.
