after applying for DLA a little while ago and was turned down (wasn't suprised)I decided after reading a message on here to appeal I wrote them a letter reitterating what difficulties PA caused me to cut a long story short I was awarded DLA and it was back dated,so thanks again to this forum has proved to be a great help :D

    Yes I was so suprised but wouldn't have put in for it if I hadn't taken the advice on this site

    Thats great news, i have applied many times over the last 25 years for DLA and turned down until recent years when i had been awarded it, since the new rules came in to play last year i was stopped part of the DLA, i kept mobility but they took away the care componant... and stopped the carers allowance, i have fought time n time again and appealed and appealed until i couldnt do it anymore... but CAB are helping me now and now think i should get lower rate at least... oh well at least some people are getting what they should xx
    love and hugs
