    Well, you've got another 8 years of IS heading your way, so you've no need to work. And I'm sure the lessons you have learnt will be passed on to your son and he will, no doubt, be better able to ensure he isn't forced into work either.

    it say on my hearing chart of 120% hearing loss of my audiology report - maybe you don't understand how the audiology chart work out. They already sent a copy of it sent to DLA ages ago and DLA accepted me. I got nothing to hide and an honest person.

    I wasnt questioning your honesty :)

    I have been 90% deaf in one ear since I was a child and now have tinitus as well, have audiology tests every 6 months, so I probably understand audiology more than most. I was of the understanding that the % was how deaf you were - mine goes up and down, but I use the 90% to describe to other people how deaf I am. I just dont understand how you can be more than completely deaf?

    Maybe i don't understand how the chart work out! there is a chart of left and bottom of percent. I can see there is -10% to 140% on the chart. I will ask audiology next time I had another hearing test to find out how many percent deaf i am.

    I am sure that you are right - it just sounds strange that's all!

    The jobcentre manager had warned my parents that my income support might be changed at anytime under new coalite government plan but at the moment they had no current change to my income support of my child in recept of DLA middle rate care and lower rate mobility. I could stay on IS for 8 years, but this maybe will be changed depend if David Cameron's mind think it isnt fair or it very fair.

    You cannot be know unless government can change all benefits year by year.

    could mean 120% across both ears, but 60% isn't excessivly bad (not good, but not profoundly deaf either) possibly see the above for an explanation.

    It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?
