Hi Rachael, I have a friend in a very similar situation to yourself. She works full time and receives Middle Rate Mobility and Care. I appreciate that everyone is affected differently but your award of LRC seems low in comparison. Read the excellent DLA Guides on this site and I hope you find what you are looking for. :)

Hello Rachael,
Just to say again, do read the guides. As encouraged by the wonderful experts at this site, read them slowly and in small sections. I downloaded them and saved them. If you don't have that ability for whatever reason, maybe a friend can do this for you. The guides ARE INVALUABLE. I go back to them time and time again. The answers are there! I wish you luck and strength of will. cmarie
