If you are talking about DLA you need to have mobility problems and/or care needs.

You fill in a form simples really.

Perhaps they qualify because they have disabilities that cause care or mobility needs?

Which require help from another person and have lasted for at least 3 months and are expected to last for another 6.

You apply. I have 3 shafted discs so have similar pain to your wife. I get lower rate mobility because I can't stand up for long and if I go to the shop, can only carry a few light items. A 2L bottle of pop is out - halfway home, I have to sit down if I do.

AND no doubt like me, you can't claim ESA because they say you are fit for work!!!!

Got 2 choices - get a job or get a job!

Maybe it's just me, but this thread looks very much like someone looking to beat the system by asking the best way to complete the forms.

The new way of MSE perhaps?
