Disabled and Carer of Disabled partner.

[tlowery]

I was diagnosed with a mengioma brain tumour in June 2015. When I had my latest scan it showed despite benign, it was growing. I was getting DLA indefinitely since 2005, but since this March, refused PIP after an Atos visit, lost the appeal, and been unconsidered a tribunal. I am my disabled partners carer. I have severe bladder incontinence, and on several medications including for sleep and moods. I feel penalised for trying. I don't receive any Carers' Allowance. I go once a month to a local Carers' Group.

I'm so sorry. I know you are terrified. I have had 3 meningoma surgeries to my brain and 80 radiation treatments.

What is your question?
