[QUOTE="candy1567, post: 56263, member: 12897"] Hi Suzi Well done you for standing your ground, as you know it is a minefield to apply for DLA, but when you are awarded it, it is a passport to other benefits. I would honestly luv to find out how they award DLA, my own opinion is that it is a points scoring exercise and how you fill in the form is whether you get onto the next phase of the selection process. I have first hand experience of this, as back to when i worked in the CAB which is not so many moons ago there was a group of ppl who knew the benefit system and claimed it all and where awarded it. To Eric Dont give up Eric, apply again, i wouldn't wait till you have had your op, apply now as you have been having new problems for over the last 6 months, get the CAB involved let them do the work for you, take the pressure off you. Also get everybody involved, its not wrong to hold your hands up once in a while and say look i cant cope and i need help, i did it a few weeks ago to the wonderful Karen (chocfish). There are many voluntary groups out there who do tremendous work for eg, help the aged, red cross etc and please dont take it the wrong way if your not in this age group as there are others organisations. Every little helps and they to can help your case for your claim. Juliexx [/QUOTE]
