    Well that has left me completely confuzzled...no idea if I am worse off or not! I don't personally receive DLA but youngest son does (and I carers allowance) but not a scoobie if that makes any difference!

    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    Still don't know whether they are escalating the women's pension age for those already in the "phasing in" group. That's the only thing that affects me so far.
