On my original DLA award it states "For Life"

Hi, Rob

I can understand how angry you feel. You were apparently made a promise, given a guarantee of a certain amount of income you could rely on. That's such an important thing when sickness or disability has reduced your strength and abilities. Now that 'promise' has been broken.

However, as several people have pointed out, the government can change the law in ways that makes old decisions no longer valid. And that's what's happened to you. So the best advice I can give is (a) do whatever you need to do to get over your anger and (b) get the best advice available on how to claim successfully the maximum you can under the new regulations.

Tempting as it might be to sue someone, it's extremely unlikely to succeed and will just cause you lots more stress and heartache!!!

Best wishes,
Andy.

Such a case would take years, and would cost £100,000s if not millions, if anybody here has that sort of money, I would ask, why are you hanging out with all us guys on benefits?

Yes your right all it takes is for good men to do nothing for evil to succeed.

I'm sure the miners should of done the same regarding their compensation health claims.

No I don't have that sort of money but somebody in a similar position might qualify for legal aid ???
