turned down for dla

has the title says i've been turned down for dla, i swear they don't read the forms for get the new change in circumstances.

my form which they sent to me said i don't get dla cause i can walk without aid for 150 meters which applied in October but in Nov my knees started to deteriorate and i had too use crutches in and out side to get about which i informed them about and also i need help getting into the bath, cooking e.g pots and pans, and other personal help.

awwww so angry, asked the to look at my claim again and going to citizens advice next week for help. i am also waiting to see occupational therapy and social services for help.

sorry to rant just so angry, my work are trying to make me redundant through occupational health so they don't have to keep my job open while i'm on esa benefit.

thanks for reading anyone with any advice would be great.xxx

When they say walk without aid - what if you could physically do it but it is extremely painful? How do they decide what is an acceptable level of discomfort when talking?

My sister was refused a disabled parking badge because they decided her level of pain when walking was acceptable. bigots!

I am so sorry You are going through this, I am with Jaybespoke about who are they to decide what is an acceptable amount of discomfort or pain to live with in order to receive it, let them walk in our shoes for a day, I bet they would change their tune. I am struggling with the same and have retained a laywer, I am not very hopefull, I will pray for you also, good luck and dont give up!
