DLA and Working Tax Credit

ladybelle

I'm in such a state here, linking in with my post below. Just got the renewal for my DLA in but I'm absolutely so scared I wont get it - even though nothing has changed and if anything I'm worse now, not better, but reading all the stories of people not getting it renewed I dont know what I will do if I dont get it.
Because I now get it - I get working tax credit with the disability element and this means I can just about cope financially, my husband left me and we are now divorced. But if I lose the DLA I wont get working tax credit as I only work 21 hours a week and cant work any more as there are no more hours available and I would struggle to cope with working more anyway with my agoraphobia but I could end up just having my income halved and I just dont know how I can cope and I knew this renewal was coming, and was prepared but it doesnt make it any easier to cope with

Don't forget, you read about a lot of failures on the internet, thats because if everything goes ok people very rarily say anything. So it gives you a false representation on here.

I know you are still going to worry about your renewal the same as I did, but I got the same as I did last time, HRM and MRC.

Good Luck

Thanks so much for that - that really got through to me, and it's right, you do only tend to hear more about the problems than the probably hundreds of people who do successfully get it.
But yes LOL I will still worry
