Hi @Maggie1920 - please forgive me if I'm wrong, but it seems to be you're in Ireland, rather than Northern Ireland.

If this is the case, different rules apply, & you must be getting a Disablement Pension of 50% or over. Please see: gov.ie/en/service/0aad20-co...

Is this the case?

My advice is contact your CAB (Citizens Advice Bureaux) as they helped me with my benefits and he even drove me twice to court 20 miles away for my appeals. He/they did not want any payment either !!

Give them a try, what have you got to lose ?
