How do you pay for all your care and mobility needs on just your DLA, when you need meals delivered, personal care, household care and Motability costs too, the sums don't add up for me?

You can get help from social services, direct payments contact the BLF help line they will point you in the right direction Val
i am fighting with S.S. atm Valm, they are refusing to assess me again even my condition and situation has changed, standing by their original decision that they signposted to me to private commercial care services that i can't afford to employ atm.... all the time this is going on i'm having to go without day to day care and rely i what i can find from friends that are off work.

Have you phoned the help line yet. I work in the care inustry and feel that this is abuse from S/S I am surprised nobody has put in a safeguarding.
i have Advocate working with me and floating support staff to help keep me in the community, I'm just coming up against a lot of nobody wanting to take responsibility for me and my needs. I just want it all sorted before the Winter gets here and my illnesses get worse. I can't deal with no stress when i am so ill.
I don't want to have to borrow and get myself into debt again to do everything i need to do...
