Not really sure but you should be. Just so painful & causes so many problems. There is no way on earth I could work with it, some days I just can't move. After having lupus for over thirty years & fibro for the last ten life is a struggle.

I suppose you would have to contact the disability office for advice on it really

Hope you get answers

All the best

Hi Lizzzy,

The assessors look for specific evidence on how you are affected, rather than just the fact that you have a certain condition (after all, many suffer differently with it).

I believe it is a point-scoring benefit, and you need to reach a certain score to be awarded DLA.
