UPDATE. DISABILITY .......HOW

Update on my question a few days ago

Firstly I do not want to go through applying for money to much

Stress, of course I understand that a lot of us have on choice.

I was told by people in here that I would be able to register with

My local council as being disabled, unfortunately the act for disability

Was reformed a few years ago and you can not now register, I know

That some people have registered, maybe some councils have there

Own I don't know but mine does not.

Access to work were very helpful, but unless I want help with equipment

Or help getting to work it is no good me registering.

However there is a new help line equality & human rights commission

It's a free telephone number and they were very very helpful the man

Spent about an hour talking to me telling me my rights, I don't know if

I am aloud to put a telephone number on here, if I am told I can then

I will write it down for anyone who is interested they will not give any

Legal advice but they tell you exactly what you can do if you are in work

I don't know if it applies to people who don't work but I should think it

Does, I know anyone can read the act but it really helps when

Some one explains it to you at least. The bits that apply to us.

Fibro is on of the things that is on the disability act

Yes it might be try give them a ring you have nothing to loss

You just tell them what has happened to you and your

Condition you don't need to ask much they well ask you.

I don't know if you work but the other place is access to work

They help with finances I don't know the number it depends on

The area you live in but google it, not hard to find.

I have never tried the DLV I know it's hard to get but you just

Have to keep on at them and apply again, some of the people

In here may be able to help with that,

I have never tried because of the stress involved but I know some

People have to.

At least they can tell you what you can do
