Oh great :-) I'm so pleased for you, you must be so relieved and also to get it backdated is even better. I hope this makes bearing your condition a little bit easier and that you can get the care you need.

Positive thoughts coming your way :-)

Thank you to everyone it is a good feeling. And broadband I'm keeping everything crossed for you.

Well done. I had a similar result last year and the back dated payment was received within a couple of weeks. I don't pay for prescriptions but that's for another medical reason. I think even on DLA you do pay for them and dentist.
