If the college/uni find out your friend is working an additional 20hours a week on top of her full time course, she will be disciplined. This is not allowed on a nursing course( as I found out), expecially if she is working day shifts and then a night shift, its dangerous and health and safety will have a field day with it. Im pretty sure it needs to be 8hours at least between shifts. Tell her to be careful!

New businesses often make a loss, or only break even in the first year at least, sometimes for the first few years after legitimate expenses have been deducted

I wasn't talking about your business, I thought you were referring to tax credits/childcare costs when you mentioned it

Only £20k? The new car alone that'll be run through the business next year will be about that..... Without exception, I dont know one single person who is self-employed and doesnt take advantage of the travel/subsistence perks. And can do it perfectly legitimately, for example I had to see a maufacturer in London last week so my hotel and train is a legitimate expense, however I'd been planning to meet soe old friends for ages, so did that as well for free. There's nothing illegitimate about that, but there's no questioning it as a perk

Let me put this simply......if you have blackouts and there is no known cause from them then the DVLA will take your licence away. Soooo...either you are lying about your illness for DLA purposes or you are lying about driving...what's it to be?

I am not saying which uni, as knowing some of you on here you'd probably write to the English Department sending hate mail on my behalf or something, but it is now in top 10 Universities in the UK.

But you used to say quite freely that you attended Lancaster University, Miss K.

Well I didnt know that. I didnt write anything for the mobility questions, other than that I can black out when Im out, or at home, I have never said I cant walk X yard or that I need a stick to walk or anythign like that. I actually wroye 'Not Applicable' in the box for those kin of questions. I guess the fact I can black out anywhere, at anytime, is enough for them to consider it as low rate mobility

This has answered something that was confusing me actually. When I claimed for my lad,I didn't fill out the mobility part either and put N/A as I assumed that it meant actual disability problems as such. I did however in the one question say that he needed extra care when out and about,as he can get into a real temper and keep running despite whatever danger he might be in and can be very difficult when walking on a route he is not used to (from my memory this was in the general part of the application form when talking about 'out and about' with him.) I was v.surprised when he was awarded lr mobility(hr care) as I felt I hadn't applied for it.So this does happen.

I am dissapointed to read some of the other stuff attributed to the op though. It is dishonest to precipitate symptomes 'on cue' to get an award,and I am pretty amazed that she got the dla award and direct payment under the circs. To write that your mum is a lawyer (even if now retired) but that she was prepared to lie and place you as an employee is also pretty eyebrow raising.
I feel it is the abuse by clever people good with words which will enable them to get dla when others fail-I presented a very good case following advice from here ( I have also in the past written and supported other people's applications for dla and family fund,so had some experience-it's different with your own though!)However I was also blisteringly honest,giving a range from his best to his worst day and never exagerating his problems.Many folk who should get the award don't due to a badly worded or incomplete application.

Whilst she says a consultant will have verified her application,how much will he/she actually have verified word for word what Miss-k was claiming? The award after all is given on care needed,not the name of the illness.I have been told (although I am willing to be put right on this) that often the specialist only actually verifies the condition and agrees that a set of needs is feasible in that situation?
Abusing the system will only make the powers that be tighten up the application process,which often will stop those not so good with words who should get the benefit,whilst posing a small challenge,quickly overcome by the clever ones who will continue to manipulate the system to get everything they can.

I would be interested to know the diagnosis to-it does sound like syncope to me. Strange she says it hasn't got a name yet her uncle died of same disease? (what disease exactly?)

This is one lady who will never starve-I find myself sort-of impressed whilst also slightly repelled and uncomfortable about it all.
