Just to give some hope to people out there I have recently had my DLA continued for 5 years I have lower mobility which has continued and my care rate has moved from middle care rate to higher care which came as a complete suprise since I was not sure if my doctor would support me during this second application.It has been a very stressful time but your website has been invaluble.
I suffer with an unremitting mental illness and my concerns are mental health will not be taken seriously under the new legislation,I live a very isolated life and find it hard to find an voice but I truely hope all disability will be taken seriously and not pigeonholed into a one solution to fix all, since diability affects people in so many different ways.
