If anyone would like information regarding claiming benefits eg:- Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Moving from the old "Incapicity Benefit" to Employment Support Allowance (ESA), permitted work while claiming benefits etc etc. We might be able to help. Vasculitis-uk subscribes to a private company which advises on these matters, so please contact us, however, you can subscribe yourself and have full access for a fee of just under £20 pa. It is a very useful and informative website. benefitsandwork.co.uk

I just want to commend this organisation and say that it is money well spent. Having recently been turned down for ESA in June I have had my decision reversed. This is totally due to Benefits and Work resources. They helped me to answer the questionnaire accurately and without compromising my integrity.The information on the Appeals process is also really helpful... check them out for yourself.
