DLA & Holidays

SomeBozo

Can someone clarify something for me, I don't know the answer.

If you claim DLA (any rate) are you able to justify holidays?

Surely if you can queue in the airport, sit in the cramp aeroplane, be sheperded around etc, you are capable of some type of work?

Of course people can go on holiday if they want.

Being eligible for DLA does not preclude you from working. Many people in receipt of DLA do indeed work.

Seems you chose a rather apt username :rotfl:

You can justofy holidays, as even if you are ill or disabled, you are entitled to a break just as much as any other person. - you still need the same amount of care wether or not you are at home or in another place, so it makes no difference. Not everyone who needs DLA has a problem with sitting or standing, there are many different types of illness or disability too, that sometimes cannot be seen just from looking at someone, eg, a mental illness.
Also, holidays can also be seen as therapeutic activities.

Where as, for example, if you are on JSA, then if you go on holiday, you wouldnt be actively seeking work or be able to start a job immediately, so this is a totally different story.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but this is the information I have been given in the past from Job Centre.

Thanks

Considering you can claim DLA whilst also working, I figure the answer would be yes.

For those who aren't working and claiming DLA, the answer would also be yes.

Do you think those who are unable to work should stay within the confines of their home?

Another great topic waiting to be moved to DT :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

My son gets DLA, but doesn't work. In fact he has no intention of working any time soon.

He is only seven though.

I'll even send my son out to clean a few before we go to Disneyland next year :T

We're also saving to go to Disneyland next year. Off to Paris, though, as don't have the courage to spend too much time in a plane with my autistic son.

It was a valid question. I got mailed by someone off board and he asked to post on his behalf.

I know what forum I am in thanks. I am aware that topics discussing benefits (ie the new rules topic that got moved) tends to be moved, whereas topics about your own individual circs are best posted here.

thanks!
