hello to everyone

at this moment in time i am feeling :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D i just received a letter i was hoping i might get one day, after all putting up with arthur is a very big challenge it has its ups and down's abit like a roller-coaster and at the moment i'm on a high and please arthur you been kicking for a while now let me enjoy it while i can, please please be kind to me, not much to ask.

anyway sorry to go on but i just want to make the most of this moment, but are you all sitting down you or laying down as your in for a nice surprise, I got the High Rate mobility and none for personal care but i can live with that, excuse the next bit, but the b*****s gave in so easily i was told that i would more than likely get a letter saying NO and with the C A B help i was going to have a fight on my hands but i didn't expect that to happen, and i got it for 5 years till 2015 and then they will review it, but i be ready for them then with the CAB helping i should do just fine.

I wonder if it was the pain survey i gave to the CAB that done it, its the only thing i can say that i done different this time, and i would recommend doing that if you apply for D L A anyway i sorry for the long post but i just had to share my news, and also a big thank you to all the support i had of everyone on this forum, i dont know where i be without you lot, thanks a million

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.

    This is the result I am hoping for with my DLA. With 2 operations upcoming (foot and hip) Id like to think they will believe the difficulties I face with mobility but who knows.

    Well done Sylvia, that was a quick turn around from last posting about the DLA wasnt it?

    Well done Sylvia, I am, like everyone else, very pleased for you, it can be an uphill struggle with the DLA, as I know all too well, but this is great. You will get your Blue Badge with no problem, I think it is automatic with the higher rate of mobility, it was with mine. Take care

    thought you would all like that, If i was in charge of the D.A.L.a you would all have the high rate you need it to put up with arthur and his pain
