    i do know someone who was allowed a cleaner on soa, was due to disability and them being unable to do it themselves.. i guess you could fight for it.
    the HP car would concern me also..


    Hmm its a grey area....in the OR's handbook a cleaner is a luxury item no matter what circumstances....i've known 3 people in the past be refused and that was with medical proof as well...

    you can only try....the worse they can say is no

  • Its worth trying to get anything you need, as you say the worse that can happen is they will say no.

    The person i know not only was disabled but had cronic asthma too, it was important her house was clean and free of dust.

    I know of one person who was allowed due to getting the higher rate of DLA

    If he says no, it really doesn't matter as he is on benefits so no IPA.
