Hi all.....just update on my DLA application. I cannot believe it but I got it!!!!!! Letter came today!!!!!! High rate mobility & middle rate care:) cannot tell you what a huge difference this will make to us!!!! My husband can now apply for carers allowance. Such a huge relief & to say I'm shocked is an understatement!!!!! 18 weeks since i first applied & nearly 4 weeks since my horrific atos medical!!! For the first time in such a long time it's good news:)

    Thanks Barbara :) am still in shock....don't think I'll believe it until the money is in the bank!!! With Art having to look after me & the kids & not being able to work the bills have been mounting :( .the car was parked up as we couldn't afford to tax it!! Now with the backdated payment we can try get back on our feet....& a wee trip for him to the post office tomorrow as I can now get free tax for the car :D such a relief!!! Hope everyone else who was in the same position as me gets a similar outcome!!

    Congratulations. I'm so glad you were awarded MRC and HRM. You qualify for a new car on the mobility scheme if you think it is worth it otherwise use the mobility money to keep your present car running :)
