Dla

[Katherine]

Hey

So I had an appt on Monday with one of my consultants and one thing she mentioned was getting me to start applying for DLA, she said it wouldnt be easy though...but I'm up for the fight!! Just wondered if any of you claim DLA? (Disability Living Allowance)

ive just applied for it and they sent be a letter to say that there looking at it but yep i would deffently suggest to apply for it..
you never know if you can get it if you dont try :)

[Katherine]

ah cool, I still need to get the form and everything. let me know how you get on :)

Personally, I don't have it. But my mum has a rare disease aswell, and she does get this as she cannot work.

I've got a job that's bank hours - so basically as and when. Which is good when I'm having a rough patch because I won't need to worry about being at work. My consultant said I wont be able to work full time so I kinda need to get DLA or something like it to be able to do grown up things like have my own place to live etc :)

I do not have DLA, because the stupid state of Maryland won't grant me social security benefits or anything. :( UGH.

[Katherine]

Ah that sucks Brittany! I'm really hoping that if I dont get DLA they'll suggest something else

[Beth...x]

I have DLA which got turned down the first time but my Gp suggested I sent for a re consideration and i got it. so if you dont get it the first time i would definatley say it is worth asking for a re consideration

[Katherine]

My consultant basically told me I wont get it first time round but after filling out that 60 page form I won't give up easily!

Maybe, I'll try again..and you guys will be my lucky charms! :)
