Benefit Claim - Help!

For those getting private/occupational pensions, IB is affected for new claimants not recieving DLA (Care) at the highest rate.
DLA can only be paid after you have had the disability for 3 months, and then only if it is a disability that will last longer then the next 6 months, at least.
Unless the knee problem is a long term thing, then the chances of getting DLA are slim to zero.
This allows you to do an informal "at-home" assessment of yourself:

It's good that you are going to the CAB - they will advise you on what you can claim.
This is also a good site:
