I agree with Beanie, don't get your mobilitu award taken away. They have based it on your condition. X

Hi HI

I have to agree with the others - you do not need to ring and tell them anything.

DLA is not means tested so it doesn't matter what your situation is - even if you were a millionaire you could claim it.

Have a read of this http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/disabledpeople/financialsupport/dg_10011816

It is interesting that you don't think you have mobility issues but they have awarded it so you are entitled.

Mobility component is not just about being able to walk, it is also about guidance and supervision.

I wonder if you have been awarded this due to the tiredness you have with your illness?

I like DLA because you don't have to tell them what you want as they work it out for you and assuming that what you told them on the form is correct then you are in the correct categories.

It's best to leave it for now and wait until after all our treatment has finished and see how you feel then.

If the awards have not been made indefinitely then they will be reviewed again according to the date on your letter.

Thank you hmm that makes sense, I didnt fill most of it in my care team/social worker etc filled the relevent bits to them in so its definatly all true.

The award says until Feb 2014 (so 2 years from when I the form was first sent out)

HI, I know you don't understand how it all works. But your care team and social worker know how your condition affects/has affected and will affect you. They have been honest on the form and you have been awarded it.

Use it to help you especially during the treatment. If you want to get extra shopping in, toys for the kis to help... Whatever you need. xx
