DLA to AA at 65 was created by Mel B
Hello Everybody
Just to advise that my wife who was a Type One Diabetic with Unerwareness of her Hypo's was granted maximum benifit this week with no period mentioned after 8 weeks wait without any more assesments.
All information was sent at the outset.. as advised by Benifits at Work.. So important to send everything that relates to the disability claim.
We used this site for our claim for DLA a few years ago and was awarded the maximum benifit and for PIP this year. As the PIP system moved the goal post she was not successful for her Diabetic Unerwarness from DLA to PIP !
Luckly she became 65 a few week later and was successful in claiming AA as AA seems to mirror DLA.. Many thanks to the Mod's and the information given, keep up the good work.
Good luck to everybody in their struggles with the the system.
Kind regards
Melb

That's great news Mel! Thanks for letting us know and for your kind words about B+W 
I will soon by applying for AA on my mother's behalf. It is good to know that the AA guide is as helpful as the others!
