If you are referring to people in this thread, my observations are the ignorant and judgemental opinions are coming from the disabled people and are directed towards posters such as OldernotWiser, Kriskross, even myself.You mean ignorant, judgemental people who have no idea what they're talking about and think they know more about the disabled persons' needs than the disabled person?
I haven't seen theses posters be rude once...unlike yourself.0 -
Where did you hear that?
It's being frozen for 3 years and there's been an increase in Child Tax Credit which is means tested. It's not hard to surmise that by making the benefit less valuable it'll be easier to ditch it in a few years time.Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants - Michael Pollan

Not really as it is being phased out gradually anyway.
OK lets change it to:
FUN QUESTION...
Shall we suggest that Child Benefit and Child Tax Credit gets paid direct to Children's Social Services and that parents should apply to central purchasing to obtain nappies, cream and wipes and everything else that can be proven to be a legitimate child related cost?Eat food.

Now please stop making things up as you go along.Excuse me?
You're the one saying children "grow out" of autism & ADHD.
Could you please point me to the post that I have made where I mention children growing out of ADHD?
Also, my views are valid and I have written them down politely.Just because you don't like them doesn't make them any less valid.
People who express a view that differs from your own are not being rude.

That could be said for most disabilities. However, it still doesn't man they don't have needs that need to be addressed.
I agree. However if someone is claiming DLA for a particular thing they need help with and then they areable to overcome the difficulty through learning coping stategies, then they won't need the DLA for that particular thing. If they learn enough coping strategies, then they won't be entitled to DLA at all.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Just wondered what other peoples experiences of DLA medicals have been like?
I was diagnosed with M.E. in january 2007
Have made 2 applications for DLA and been turned down
The doctor who came to do my 'medical examination'
asked me if I could stand on one leg
and if I could touch my nose with my eyes closed?
I'd laugh, but being practically housebound and unable to do hardly anything for over 3 yrs just takes the edge off the funny side
As for my GP :rotfl:
he says there is no point going to see him as I have amongst other things M.E. and Chronic Pain Syndrome
Any health problems are therefore just put down to this, including my request for an angiogram (family history of serious heart problems)
when I said I thought I was going to have a heart attack ...
answer was that my cholesterol and BP were fine and that they couldn't do tests 'willy nilly'
8 days later I had a heart attack
It's often nice to be the youngest person, but not in coronary care
The consultant wrote to my GP asking for him to make several appts for me regarding physical symptoms he was concerned about
My GP said 'there's no point in him making them' as I have M.E.
That was in March this year
So I see nobody from the 'medical profession' about anything
I have an appt for january 2012 to see the heart consultant
So much for the Nice guidelines :rotfl:
Establish a supportive and collaborative relationship with the person with CFS/ME and their carers.
This is particularly important for children and young people, and for people with severe CFS/ME.
Assign a named healthcare professional to be responsible for coordinating the person’s care.
Provide accurate information at all stages, from when a diagnosis is first being considered.
Tailor information to the person’s circumstances, including the stage and duration of the condition,
symptoms, and personal and social factors.
Make information available in a variety of formats if appropriate (printed copy, electronic and audio).
Information should cover:
– possible causes, nature and course of CFS/ME
– local and national self-help and support groups for people with CFS/ME and their carers
– the NHS Expert Patients Programme (see www.expertpatients.nhs.uk or www.eppwales.org).
Healthcare professionals caring for people with CFS/ME should have appropriate skills and expertise in
the condition.
Offer every person diagnosed with CFS/ME:
– acceptance and understanding
– help negotiating the healthcare, benefits and social care systems
– help with occupational activities, including work and education if appropriate (see page 12).
Develop an individualised management plan with the person, and their carers if appropriate,
including:
– relevant symptoms and history
– plans for care and treatment, including managing setbacks/relapses
– information and support needs
– any education, training or employment support needs
– details (and contact details) of the healthcare professionals involved.
Review the plan at each contact and document any changes.The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane[FONT="] —[FONT="] Marcus Aurelius[/FONT][/FONT]0 -
