Makes no odds to me. I am no longer going to be using this site, I personally think that for the good people on here it's a real shame for those rude people like you and nappytone. I personally will not rise to it and I have far more important things in my life to deal with than this. I only wanted some advice not pathetic childish insults, I will now leave you all to spend your energy and time nit picking with each other. Genuine thanks though to the others who helped.

Melsy - I think when posting on a public forum, you have to take the good with the bad. I didn't agree with what nannytone said and spoke my mind regarding it. However, I will now also do the same with you. Nannytone is practically blind. So her spelling mistakes are more typos and the letters are usually next to the ones she tries to hit.

You've received good advice here, and I'm glad that you followed it and got things sorted out.

Hi All,

I am now in a position to clarify some of the confusion outlined in my other post (My carer has left!). In addition, I will copy & paste this into that post)

Firstly, I posted this topic separatley to save on any further confussion (more for my sake that any) as the servere Disabilty Premium was un heard of to me until, in brief, was mentioned on my other post, upon which I hadn't ask much about due to the fact the other post was regarding DLA and Carers Allowance.

In brief both my ex husband and I had always been a working family, until my daughter become ill and severly disabled as did I some months later. As a result we had to stop working and applied for full benefits, something we have never done,needed or had to apply for before.

We were apponited an Occupational Therapist, who helped with all aspect, we made contact with all the benefits departments, and never once was informed that I could or should apply for C.A in relation to my daughter (who received DLA before me) from the point of when her DLA was awarded no C.A was received as I never applied, it was an area that was never mentioned when I made my enquiries.

I have now asked for the C.A Application forms to be sent to me and my O.T wil help me fill them and send them accordingly. As a result of this when my DLA was awarded this came with some confussion! We received the C.A forms, fillled them in and sent them of. As said in my other post we received a basic letter asking for bank details to process the payments, although the letter didn't identify directly what this was for.

After me making enquires yesterday it is as follows:

Make new claim for C.A in relation to my daughter
The letter mentioned above was regarding DLA and nothing else.
The C.A application for my husband has been received, accepted and they no know to only pay up to the 4th March, as my husband and the O.T spoke to them and explained the current situation.
We will receive the monies for this to that date, once the have they ammended and issued the claim, which at present is still in progress.
The money I received in the bank was a back payment for DLA only after being awarded it by the judge, but no letter as yet has been received to confirm my amounts or payments.

I was very thankfull to all that responded and tried to help as highlighted in my post and I made it clear that I didn't understand it all and it was confussing.

Regarding the person (NANNYTONE) who feels it is appropriate to be judgemental, very rude, harsh and in my opinion insulting!! really should get the chip of her shoulder, rather than take offence because I asked seperatley about the Servere Disability Premium!
I will not appologise for my lack of knowledge or understanding of the benefits system, just because I am new to it.
Nor will I accept NANNYTONE diabolic un nesecassary rude comments and insinuations!

I have suffered a stroke, in additon I have M.S and Epilepsy and am on strong medicaiton.

And I can just about manage to type, and use correct gramma and punctuation; NANNYTONE should use her time learning how to write correctly as the spelling is appaling as is her attitude.

Her grammar, punctuation and spelling is rather good actually, she's is just not the best touch typer in the world and often gets her fingers on the wrong buttons, I rather like dicephering their posts, makes the old grey matter work a bit.

And although we do often disagree with each others views as posters, she was actually very factual and not rude at all.

But I am glad you got it sorted out, it's not fair that people don't know about things like carers allowances etc, surely it is someone's job somewhere when you apply for DLA to discuss the options with the claimant. Here is hoping things start to improve for you.

and NANNYTONE also happens to be blind.
so i am sorry if my spekking nistakes bothered you, but i wont be apologising for making them.

the advice you received yesterday regarding your husbands CA claim and your DLA claim was IDENTICAL to the advice i gave you.
yes you were confused, but anyone helping when you had no idea where to turn, deserves a thanyou!

you wont need to as i wont be helping again,

and take a look at your own attitude ,,, criticising someone who offers you help and advice really isnt good manners!

and you all made excuses for her lack of manners. think she has shown her true colours .

Hark at Little Miss Perfect

Your attitude leaves a lot to be desired at times.
