[QUOTE="Finzi, post: 346688, member: 56231"] Wow, Kirsty "makes you sick" but then you want her to chat with you and give you advice? <blinks> It sounds like you have a lot of very unpleasant medical conditions, but as I'm sure you know, to get HRM DLA you have to be "virtually unable to walk". There is no lesser degree of mobility that counts - lower rate mobility is for people that can walk but need to be supervised (eg blind, cognitively impaired). Kidney disease, COPD, arthritis, diabetes, epilepsy, high blood pressure, retinopathy, bad back are not conditions that "entitle" you to DLA - you get HRMDLA if you can't walk - end of. It is very unfortunate that your epilepsy means that you can't drive. I would recheck the advice about the scooter - while I am sure you would not be allowed to use a road scooter, I am not sure the same applies to the smaller scooters that can't be used on main roads (ie only on pavements).
