    Should try saying Ehlers Danlos syndrome to them...the blank looks are amazing!:rotfl:

    I used to have to tell doctors in the emergency room what treatment to give my now ex husband when he was in addisonian crisis....they would waste loads of time looking it up in their medical books and then realise I was correct.

    the gp does that now with hms and look at me and says your just double joint , head and brick wall then refuse to look up hmsa website ,

    the eds is something that will be spoke about at app with rhemy luckly he has hms to because i have always knew since eye test musles there dont focus right , hope i dont i will never be able to say it with my dyslexia lol

    The care just has to be reasonable - you don't actually need to be receiving it. Many people find that they can do something; but it can takethem a few hours to do. if they have someone to help them, it would take half of that time.

    So why do you need extra money for it if you decide not to organise the care? This is what i can't get my head round.

    What do you do with the cash if you don't pay for help with the stuff you say you can't do.

    Now you say you need HRC because you need help moving at night. Then you say there is noone to help anyway you so why do you need the money.

    ash4becks gets HRC so she doesn't self harm she says. How does extra money prevent her doing this?

    Many disabled people need equipment and generally have extra costs. (such as food or require extra water) DLA pays for the extra costs.

    I don't understand why you ask these questions; yet spend your husbands' AA on other stuf? Why is it ok for you ro do that but those of us on DLA?

    I didn't know you could get DLA for Dyslexia, how bad does it have to be?
    That's a genuine question, not trying to be difficult, it's just there are loads of very successful people who have dyslexia.
    My oldest has dyslexia but it isn't even on the radar for care needs, isn't Jamie Oliver dyslexic? He can cook up a good meal, OK that is probably flippant but would really like to know.

    There's a section on the form about communication. Some dyslexic people may struggle with reading and writing.

    It would depend entirely on the needs of the person. There are some people who are mildly affected and manage and others who are more severe and require extra help.

    Because all his care needs are completely and comprehensively met. He doesn't claim extra dosh then still continue complaining that he wakes in pain because there is no one to help him move etc.

    He pays me £10 an hour for the 7 hours his AA allows. He is ill at the moment with a chest infection so I am totting up how much extra he will owe me:rotfl:

    yes you can cant rember if its under low care or moblity but really does depend on how bad it is my reading writing and maths age range is between 10-12 year old,

    theres a question in there over diffecult to get around and geting lost in unfimilar place, dyslexics and maps is just a no go for me and under the reading everyday items little post and having problems with that sometimes i do need dad to read stuff for me but my reading is slow rather than bad , but really up to decion maker not me

    but i was told 99% i would get it for dyspraxia under the cooking test as your balance is of mine is as bad as it gets guy who did my ocupational phycoligists report said he hadnt tested anyone worse ever lol my luck but that affects alot more things like i didnt walk till i was nearly 2 , still had 1 stabliser on at 9

    If they can't read recipes, they can also get DLA that way. I have completely different disabilities to you Ash, but do have reading difficulties like you do.
