    OMG! What a terrible story? Poor you :( Honestly wonder what you have to be ill with before they give you DLA! I wonder what happens when one of these people in the dla come down with an illness? Do they have to go through all the forms, telling their colleagues what's wrong with them?
    I know it'll be tiring for you but you need to keep going with this. Sending you a big hug ((((()))))

    They want you to 'shut up & go away', so it's the last thing that you consider. There's always a chance, if you stay in the game. :D

    Hi Mash65, I know it is probably tiring and irritating for you but never shut up and go away, that is what the DLA want, one less person to worry about, you must never give in, you are well and truly entitled to it. You must keep going, most of us have, it is a sad fact that we have to fight in this world love Katxxx
    thanx all was on a bit of a low,wanted to get that of my chest,its frustrating.they sent back my papers this morning saying theyd sent to peeps at appeal.now its just the waiting. thanx again debs

    Oh yes I forgot the wheelbarro space and the locker needed fro the medication so if they wont insure then how will we be covered at work perhaps we could be bed testers at home and they could deliver new beds that need testing to us or perhaps we could test out new gadgets for the home or test out new foods and drinks
