    part of my condition is sick sinus syndrome which causes episodes of sinus tachycardia (when i'm not bradycardic), I do get pain when I exert myself but no, i don't get DLA high mobility because the pain isn't caused by walking and my life isn't threatened when i walk.

    Obviously DLA is judged on individual cases so I'm no case to go by (my dla is awarded exclusively on blackouts, not the actual heart rythmn disorder that causes the blackouts).

    No my daughter doesn't have it she has CMT type 1A

    Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), known also as Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathy (HMSN), Hereditary Sensorimotor Neuropathy (HSMN), or Peroneal Muscular Atrophy, is a heterogeneous inherited disorder of nerves (neuropathy) that is characterized by loss of muscle tissue and touch sensation, predominantly in the feet and legs but also in the hands and arms in the advanced stages of disease. Presently incurable, this disease is one of the most common inherited neurological disorders, with 37 in 100,000 affected.[1]

    She had to google what sinus tachycardia was, so I doubt her daughter has it...
  • Colloq, I got my GP on side before applying for Blue Badge and DLA. I think it's worth letting your GP know how your life is affected by the problems you suffer from. My GP actually recommended I apply!!
