DLA refused again .............

ozbird1

Hi

I hope someone can offer some advice here please. Over the last 5 years I have applied for DLA 3 times and just been turned down again for the 3rd time, which i will appeal - a brief out line of my disability :-

Age 42

4 Hip replacements on one side>
1 knee replacement
bone graft from hip to elbow
Currently under advise for possible ankle fusions.

Reason given today is that I will be much better by 10/10/2012 so don't qualify. Am I flogging a dead horse ? I am been unrealistic to expect to be given to this allowance ?

Would love to hear thoughts and advice

Thanks

Does the date you've quoted relate to any planned operations or treatment?

Most recent op was 1st week in March '12

Thanks

I answered in D&D, could you please answer the questions I asked on that thread please?

I've replied on D&D as well.

Isn't it usually the case one you've had joint replacements you are considered no longer have care or mobility needs as you are 'cured'?

I know of 2 people who lost their awards having had knee and/or hip surgery.
