Hi All, people keep telling me I should get DLA

[Dave10]

I believe it stands for Disability Living Allowance, where do I find out about this? and is there restrictions or criteria with it, I can only assume so.

Also although I am 61 I still do not qualify for a Bus Pass, but other people my age with COPD like me have got one, any help would really be appreciated

Hello Dave

The following link will give you a good overview of DLA and the qualifying requirements.

I would also recommend that you give the BLF Helpline a call 03000 030 555 . The calls are charged at local rates, I believe.

The only thing I would say, if you are intending to apply, is to speak to, and involve, a benefitis advisor from the Citizens Advice Bureau when it comes to filling in the forms. They know what answers to give to enhance your chances of qualifying.

Good luck

Did you apply for a disabled bus pass from your county council? Details should be on their web page.
