i'm a liar, i can get in and out the bath.....I can get up and down the stairs safely, i can get the toilet from my bed safely at night, i can get out of a chair easily.
I obviously must be such a liar, why didnt the DLA just send a letter saying, YOU ARE LYING!!!!!
Either I am lying or they missed the part of the form, my letter, consultant letter and gp letter stating I cannot get in and out the bath without someone else supporting me. I struggle to get up and down the stairs and do so very slowly, with a great deal of pain and my knees sometimes give way on the way down, and the rest of the things i cannot do safely.
Im such a liar thats why the council decided to give me a blue badge and why the council assessed my needs and decided that i have urgent needs status to move into a ground floor level 2 bedroom council accommodation, which means i go top the list if a bungalow comes free.
Anyway, I'm not upset at this reconsideration decision, just cant beleive that they put on the letter that i can do these things when all the evidence says i cant.
Onwards and upwards, i have the form for the appeal/request tribunal. Just need to find an amazing person who knows lots about this kinda thing to represent me, not the CAB - who i dont trust.
I must stop lying :roll: :roll: :roll:

Hello princess and nice t meet you
So sorry...and shocked that DLA has been refused despite all the evidence provided by your consultant etc. :shock:
Just wanted to wish you good luck in appealing the decision.
I've posted this link on appealing DLA which I hope might be helpful!

again...good luck!

Princess , appeal appeal and again appeal ! I was once refused higher rate and threatened them with a court trial ; surprisingly they rethought their decision and granted my request by return of post ! Don't give up . By the way , easy to check ~ no burning knickers , not lying . Jillyb0

I am so sorry that you have been turned down it makes me so mad I see people who I know are on the full whack if dissability and yet they are more mobile and active than myself. I too was turned down even after an appeal. My form was filled in by a professional (not CAB) who said she would guarantee I would get it, I didn't! I gave up in the end. Glad I'm not the only one though :sad:0
