    I know. But when needs must I suppose.

    Very true.

    I'd rather borrow the money from the DWP. No Interest. But it has to be used on items you need not want!

    I just sent my DLA renewal pack back last month so now I am in dreaded limbo to see if I get the same award, more or even if it is lowered.
    Luckly i don't have to do renewals to often as i got an indefiate award i've only had a letter from them once (after ten years) to update my doctors details so they could review they dealt directly with the doc so i didn't have to fill in any forms.

    £560 I think was on the letter but that was back in November. I am currently paying back £13.60 a week from my IS

    That is lucky. I think my last award was for 3 years. My GP and Psychiatrist have had to write reports this time for DLA.
