How do I cancel my DLA claim.

I haven't. Funny how 3 GPs, 1 neurologist, numerous opticians, 3 opthamologists, a friend who has had to deal with me when I've run away or threatened to self-harm agree with me and disagree with the DWP.
You know nothing about my disabilities - so stop acting as though you do. You, like 99% of the population probably don't even know what half of my disabilities mean. Or do you think that having shoulders that crack every time my arms are raised is fun? Or having a constant burning pain due to issues with stomach acid is fun?
Oh, I forgot - no-one apart from your precious Dallas is disabled. The rest of us are clearly faking it.
Sorry this subject is so long didn't want to spend ages reading through it all.
Would you mind if I asked what your disability is? ThanksThe day I had my Beautiful son is the day everything came together for me. For someone so small he done so much and made me complete.0 -

My current diagnoses are bilateral optic atrophy, depression, Nystagmus and undiagnosed stomach (it's to do with the acid) and muscle problems. Neurologist claims it's torticollis; Neurosurgeon says it's not.Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

Oh dear you have a fair bit going on. Hope you get somewhere with DLA changing their rules in April as doesn't one of the above effect your sight?

2 of the above affect my sight - but vision is "too good" for HRM.Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

I get low care and low mobility. My vision is 6/36 and 6/18 with glasses. (it does depend on the letters and whether someone has decided to shine a light into my eyes, as to how much I read)Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

I've tried; but apparently, being colour blind, partially sighted and having upper muscular problems means I don't have problems getting dressed. I'm lucky if I don't pull a muscle putting a t-shirt on or go around wearing dirty clothes.Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked
