Good luck. Let us know how it goes xx
I didn't have DLA as I was out of the country but have applied for PIP & still waiting for the forms. I don't hold out much hope though because of all the changes. My husband has just been refused Carers Allowance, at the first stage, for his dad as you now have to have been in the country for 2 out of 3 years & we've only been back just over a year. Suspect it'll be the same for me. What gets us though is it'll cost the Government far more for external care services to help him than if it was his son doing the caring who lives under the same roof. The crazty thing is is if we were still in Spain & his father was resident at his home there he would be awarded it!! He intends to pursue further with CAB who were very helpful when we saw them last. Work that one out! Jobseekers applies too & I'm guessing many other benefits.
I hope all goes well on Thursday & look forward to reading your update.
If you keep stressing maybe you'll be at your worst when he comes. Works both ways!!
I hope yours get sorted out if Cab are involved u may fair better. As for me thursday is usually a dodgier day for me anyway for some reason i suppose because by a thursday i've dragged my ass into work 3 days and i'm more tired? Luckily (unluckily really) i've got my ongoing knee issue which is painful at present am currently having to use my crutch all the time and wheeled around the supermarket for the weekly shop!!!!!
hope everything goes ok, I am currently going through the process of PIP and have to go to an assessment on the 8th. I doubt that I will get anything as I am only young and still live at home
Good luck.. I have missed out by a few months as I will be 64 in Aug..., so I will be assessed at some point, I get high care and mobility, but think that as I am actually breathing, I will fail for PIP
When he arrives ask him if he knows about RA and the symptoms !!!! I would , hand him some nras leaflets ha ha ha xx
How did it go?
Hi allanah, well it was a semi retired doctor that came who was disabled himself!!!! Was a nice chap had to show him what meds i'm on and my last three hospital letters as i've been that many times since xmas! He asked lots of questions about day to day activity which are on the forms i filled in he got me to walk a few paces lucky it was a bad day! hubby thought it went well i'm not too sure so watch this space
I wish you lots of luck with it makes me laugh when people get it for lesser troubles its just so hard now to get what your entitled to, keep us posted xx
