Hi
I got help off my sister as family and friends always on at me to apply for DLA...Now I know Im not as bad as some of my fellow AC members but nevertheless I have difficulties and Im nowhere near as able and fit as someone my age and thats due to my knee holding me back. Sister fills in these forms as she helps people with learning difficulties who are admitted to hospital and cant fill in these forms...She reckons at least I may qualify for the low mobility rate which is about £20 a week.....
So Ive sent it off...Not too hopeful mind as you read all the time on here folk getting refused who clearly need this income sooo much...But maybe, just maybe I may qualify, if not I will appeal....
So its sent off and i sort of gave it a little blessing as it went in the postbox saying "please be a good application".....

Hi
I did apply but only because i was nagged into it and at an Exhibition there was a lady there who said thee was so much there that people wern't claiming. I half heartedly filled it in but was refused and didnt bother trying again.
Good Luck

Hi
I am not very optimistic at all but some members at family are almost quite arrogant in their knowledge that "you would definitely qualify for dla"....They seem to think that cos they have filled in these forms and they have been successful that I am a 110%, dead cert.....
My expectation is low so that way wont be too disappointed...
