I only wondered as I have many young friends who are hard of hearing who have better hearing than me that get middle rate care DLA where as I dont get anything else at all. I know all these people just spend it on drinks and stuff to go out and about in.
Appalling as my hearing is since worst than the people I know around me and I get nothing.0 -
It depends how the forms are filled in. You have to tell them everything - regardless of how obvious it is to you.Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

You be suprised, they can go out clubbing and buy drinks (with DLA money ofc) go shopping with ease with free public transport, own a car and everything and still manage to get middle rate?
The question is 'Why are they getting DLA if they dont need care? or have a carer?'
Is that not what DLA is? To help fund your caring needs?0 -
The care only has to be reasonable and you don't need a carer.Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

How are you meant to care for yourself?
I dont see what kind of care a hard of hearing person needs other than communicating issues but my friends do not have problems with that...
So Im struggling to see how DLA is helping them out0 -

How much of their situation do you know?
There is more to deafness than communication.Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

I can't tell you. You should know what your care and /or mobility needs are. That is what DLA is based on - not what needs others have.Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

Which one did you get sh? Is there a brand that's better than others, for example? My neck's been killing me the last few weeks, getting progressively worse, so I think it's time to act!A while back I asked about pillows for neck pain. (well, to support my neck) I was advised to get a V pillow. I got one for Christmas and it's wonderful.:j"I am indelibly stained by hope and longing" - Nuts in May0 -
