[QUOTE="angel30eyes, post: 57639, member: 9243"] Hi there I get full dla, both parts, high mobilty and high care, i have osteo arthritis in both knees, benign joint hypermobility syndrome, Ulcereative Colitis, Asthma, panic attacks and am Type 1, i got turned down last year on care but got mobiltity as didn't know how to word everything on the form so i looked on the internet and found out about DIAL who help you fill out forms etc, they were brilliant and then when my doctor got the form he filled it out in fine detail compared to the last doctor who said as he'd never met me could not really say how ill i was because i didnt know in the time between filling my form out and them asking for a report my actual doc had retired, but thanks to dial and my new doc i got awarded dla. It has taken me 7 yrs to get this and it is only because i can hardly walk and my joints are so weak along with not being able to inject myself some days due to my wrists being so painful and i do have a 'perching stool' from social services to cook but i cook maybe once every couple of weeks if i'm feeling up to it but i am certainly not bed ridden so there is hope out there for people if you know how to word things on the forms or get someone like DIAL to do it for you [/QUOTE]
