To claim DLA you have to have been disabled / ill / needing help / whatever you want to call it for 3 months (unless you are terminally ill) - you don't need to have been on IB
I wonder if you were sent the JSA forms because you were asked if you had a sick note and said no (is that possible)0 -
i havent worked for nearly a year and im not currently getting sicknotes because of this i assumed id only need to get a sick note when they have procecced my claim and ask for one?
also where do i get the forms for dla? isit the job center?
One 2.8.08 you said that you had been unemployed for 2 months. I also got the impression you were claiming JSA.0 -

sorry to hijack the thread but having read jox's previous post it seems hes been through a lot recently he did state he had only been unemployed for 2 months but this could be a type error.
either way from what he has said he sounds like he needs help i just dont like they way people are quick to pounce try and catch people out, i like the way you read all his privious posts have you posts. the guys asking for help..0 -

that must have been an error on my behalf ment to have have put 7 or 8 .and yes i was claiming jsa but if you also read my previous posts it states i stoped sighning due to my anxity and disability not been able to go out. and i havent tryed to claim incapasity due to my lack of knolage and fear of not getting it.
and what is yout point exatcly anyway? its nice how people forget everything else i had said in my privous posts about how bad my life is for me how depressed i am and concernstrate on a little spelling mistake and try to impose that im some how lying this is the exatct reason i have been scared to claim in the past people are so quick to judge you if you had a problem use private messages when its totaly irrelevent to the thread.
and as for waring me? do what you want to do i only came here for help i dont need to lie you people you have nothing to do with weather im entitled to benifits or not sorry for the rant i just hate little sad nit picking nothing better to do than little things like this people.0 -
yes this is what i have read too. people really shoudent give advice like that if not 100% sure because people in need will be loosing out on something they are entitled too
I posted it because i was sure, i was told this seven years ago by DSS
after my husband had been on IB for 3 months. Now i am quite happy to be corrected. I honestly thought i was trying to help but you could just have easily said "im sorry but i think you are mistaken" instead of taking the tone you did.
I have learned something here today regarding DLA
i hope you get the help you need and quickly.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -

It just seemed odd to me. It is relevent because it doesnt make sense compared to other things you have said. If you read what I said I have not accused you of anything, just referred to a previous post.
I could not make sense of some of your post as it was so badly written, what do you mean by "as for waring me". Edit. I see now, you meant warning - I did not say this someone else did.
If you look you will see I have given you helpful advice for which I have had no thanks. I do not appreciate your insults either. You may have problems but self-pity is never a nice trait.0 -
I have replied to your other post about your disabilities earlier on today Jox, i do not think you need to worry about JSA if you are suffering as much as my husband is who has the same disease as you applying for Incapacity will not be a problem providing you get a sick note from your GP, why not ring the job centre about the mistake over the forms and in the mean time go to your GP and get a sick note?
There is far too much mud slinging on this Forum especially on the benefits section, i do think that people do try and find faults in most posters here but in general people are trying to help, even if they point out something earlier that was said differently, in the other post i have read by the OP it pretty much states the same as this one but sometimes people do post one thing that was completely opposite to what they said a few months earlier because they have lied (either on here or to the system) but from what i have read about the OP i feel he is genuine as he has described pretty much the same things as my husband has suffered through the same disease.0 -
