i think most of your comments are out of order.
if you were to be make fun of someones colour / race. you would be arrested and charged.

dyslexia is a complicated condition and know tow dyselxics are the same.
dyslexia, can have many problems around communication and directions. they also can have many problems with budgeting.
if you look at the new pip scoring and your dyslexia assesment you may be able to make a claim.

scondly when many dyslexic assesments are made they are done in an hour or 2. this is not good enough and to estabilsh the true nature of this conditon your assesment is a timely affira.

dyslexic rights are none existant, just because richard branson does ok. does not mean we are all the same!!!!!!!!!!!

This thread is two years old

I'm confused as to why someone with dyslexia is "disadvantaged" when they have a full time job? What is the benefit supposed to compensate for? You want to claim a benefit just in case he loses his job and MAY find it more difficult getting another job (which incidentally is illegal and would be discrimination).

People in wheelchairs are facing cuts to their mobility allowance which will drastically affect their quality of life, but people believe we have spare cash to pay to people in full time employment because they have dsylexia and might, one day, have difficulties finding another job?? I'm stunned.

I have a GD who, 2 years ago, did courses at her local college to achieve levels, 1, 2 and 3 in painting and decorating. She always struggled at school because of dyslexia, but there is now special help out there for it, Access courses, just ask. GD is working as a painter and decorator and doesn't get any disability benefits for being dyslexic.
