Hi Sandra. I subscribed, I've read, I've made notes and I gave them to other people but still I lost. Even though the history of DLA didn't into context that we can work, I am not sure of the remit on tribunal panels if that is the case anymore. The DLA would top up my wage when I am in so much pain all I can do is cry. But thanks anyway.
