    The online timetables aren't that good, so I have to do it from memory.

    Please give us an example of these timetables that aren't that good, and explain how they differ from any other?

    Would they be the same as the newspapers and magazines that you say you cannot get on tape?
    Gone ... or have I?

    Titch89,

    The problem is that you clearly want the opinion of other people but when they give it to you and it does not fit your ideas you then do not want their opinion.

    People have given you lots of helpful advice on this and the deleted thread ( I did ask why it was deleted on here but go no reason ) which will HELP you in your life but you throw it back in their faces every time so it is no wonder people become frustrated.

    They're actually not giving me the information I'm asking for. A lot of you are just having a go at me.

    And that thread was deleted because I asked it to be. I'm fed up of being accused of being a troll and faking the illness I have.

    In that case you need to clarify what information you are looking for, because people have only been answering what you have written.

    i did not have a go at you, but saying sometimes this, sometimes that does NOT imply that you "suffer" these "problems" (that are ever-growing) every day

    Well what information ARE you asking for?! As far as I can see, you are simply insisting that you do fit the criteria for MRC DLA and complaining that DWP don't agree. :confused:

    No one's accused you of being a troll but since you're so negative and shoot down anyone's suggestions without even bothering to look into them, can you really blame people for getting frustrated? (or as you see it, "having a go at you"). If you post on a public forum, you can't expect everyone to agree with you all of the time, and even if we did, us saying "yes of course you should get MRC DLA" or such like does not mean that you would get it. If you don't want people's opinions, then don't ask for them. :rolleyes:

    BTW, when was Nystagmus classed as an "illness"? A disability by all means, but an illness?!

    If I don't respond to your posts, it's probably because you're on my 'Ignore' list.

    I dont see people having a go, they just dont agree.

    I think it is great shame that you had that thread deleted because there was alot of useful and interesting information that may have helped others and people put alot of time and effort in when giving their replies and they have all been wasted. I have never called you a troll or a fake and I dont remember others doing that either.

    I think it's quite clear that the op sees money as the only answer to their disability which is why he/she is negative at useful suggestions.I posted on the laptop/monitor thread and the op has a strong sense of 'I'm entitled,I will get'. I can only suggest that if your needs are so bad to get one of the professionals to help you to appeal.
    I found the dla form incredibly difficult to fill out for my son,very hard wok and very repetative.I made sure I gave lots of detail and examples as advised on here and I think that was why it was successful-but you do also need to be honest. Being inconsistent is very easy to pick up on the form as the same question is asked in different ways in my opinion.You may need to accept that your award is actually fair,and be grateful that you are not in need of the higher award. The money doesn't remove the disability!
    Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it!

    I have been reading these threads with interest and would just like to say something.
    My father is blind in 1 eye and has 20% vision in the other. He has also had a stroke.
    He has worked all his life and still does. He uses public transport all the time and if he needs to know anything about bus times he asks a bus driver.

    I'm sooo proud of him, he is an example to us all.
