I AM REGISTERED AS PARTIALLY SIGHTED NEEDED TO REPLACE MY READING GLASSES. IT REALLY ANNOYS ME THAT I DO NOT GET ANY HELP WITH THE COST . I GET STATE PENSION AND DLA. APPARENTLY THEY ARE THE WRONG TYPE OF BENEFITS. WHAT PISSES ME OFF THE MOST IS WHO CAN GET HELP IDO NOT WISH TO BE SPECIFIC IN CASI I END UP BEING ACCUSED OF RACISM OR SOMETHING.

DEAR 100 PIPERS AN AUNT OF MINE HAS DIABETES AND OTHER HEALTH PROBLEMS,

SHE HAS JUST FOUND OUT SHE CAN CLAIM REDUCED WATER RATES I THINK SHE HAD TO FILL IN SOME PAPERWORK AND PAY FOR A GP'S LETTER. SHE NOW HAS BIT MORE MONEY TO PAY FOR OTHER THINGS. GIVE THE WATER RATES PEOPLE A RING. WE ARE IN WALES SO NOT SURE IF EVERYWHERE OFFERS THE SAME BENEFIT. GOOD LUCK
