DLA can you believe it? Some good news for once.

Well you may or may no know that last time I was assessed they sent me into a nervous breakdown so this time I was stressed when I got the forms. last time it took three months and they were threatening m with court and all sorts of rubbish.

Well I am shocked that this year (maybe the fact I threatened to sue them if they sent me back into depression) they made the assessment in one week and in my favor.

I have had my night time reduced slightly because although I need help I don't actually get it EVERY night but really I can live with that as I havn't got months or worry and bullying. I got higher rate for daytime so I still get my blue badge and bus pass. £80 per month worse off but that is a little price to pay for peace of mind.

Next reassessment in 2015 so I can breath.

With all the bad experiences we all have had though I would share a bit of good news.
