[QUOTE="cocacola, post: 125676, member: 22801"] DLA has nothing to do with the ability to work. It is about the care you may need. Do you need someone to watch over you for instance incase you have a hypo? That is just one example. Maybe you need help with injections/medication etc There are different rates of DLA, a care component and a mobility component. They both have different rates too. Care component - low, middle and high rate Mobility component low and high rate You do not necessarily have to be receiving any care from anyone else, just have a need for it. If you do consider applying for DLA, please be sure that you see someone experienced in filling in DLA forms, such as a welfare rights worker or Citizens Advice. Also do not assume that a decision maker will already know the care/help you may need. You need to put as much info on the form as possible. Also remember that Job Centre staff are not necessarily experienced in DLA. [url=http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/DisabledPeople/FinancialSupport/DG_10011925]http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/DisabledPeo ...
