Could have but didn't. You are clutching at straws.

What does the bold mean. It doesn't make sense to me. Is English your second language??

Being 'English' I don't understand the sentence.

What is wrong with you ?
Stop being so picky. ....

Nothing wrong with McKneff, really nice user, and also very helpful.

Could have or did, is actually a very valid point, but only if it was expressed in writing. I will add, however, that in the 9ish years I've been a local Cllr, the amount of times I've been told by someone that 'HMRC said .....' or 'DWP said .....' and it's actually wrong, is quite frequent!

DLA stops if you have been in hospital for 28 days and would restart when out again. Is it possible that they stopped it when you had been in hospital but you did not restart it?

I was never in hospital for more than 10days at a time !!

Could have ?????
Would have, or would've, not would of

Should have, or should've, not should of

Can I have, not can I get

I didn't say "Could Of" - I used the correct English Grammar ie) "Could Have"...

I stand by my claim - that, had I not had supportive parents and friends around me at the time - I would have been in financial doo doo !!
That's "Doo Doo" - not "Do Not - Do Not" ....

So - I am sorry - but how else should I phrase it ?

I did not criticise your use of the English Language. It is a signature, under a line, most members have them. If you look and understand the board. It is on every post that members add to the board.

Picky had nothing to do with it.

Now I bet you feel rather silly.:o

OP can you prove the DEA told you this? As it's down to each individual claimant to educate themselves and claim for the relevant benefits, you would struggle to conivce them of any valid reason why for 13 years you did'nt make a claim.

Also you were succesful in a claim in 2008, why did'nt you query the 13 years then?
I would also think 'could have' caused hardship is not even worth bringing into the arguement, as 'could have' is a far cry from 'it has'.
Anyway good luck in your mission, but if you do decide to pursue this i fear it will be a very very long process which could be detrimental to you and your health.
I would put it down to experience and makesure in future that you educate yourself in all benefits to makesure you get your full entitlment.

No - unfortunately I can't - I have no way of proving it
unless I ask DWP for the records (clearly showing the lack of my signature on any docs)
The reason why I didn't query it in 2008 was due to (yet another) !!!! up by DWP - They initially carried out an assessment on me at my own home - and I was surprised that I was found eligible for max Care and Max Mobility - I even went to the bother of looking into Motorbility Cars..
I was paid some £800..
Then - some 2 months later, I received a letter through the post telling me that I was not eligible for any DLA at all
So I appealed and this was ignored - so I went via my MP - Who "sorted it" for me - Mid range care - which I am happy with.
How can DWP make such a mistake ?
Anyway - the reason that I didn't ask about the previous DLA is that I didn't want to upset the applecart..

By which I presume that whatever the DWP tell you, you have to treat it the same as what a 'guy in the pub' will tell you?

Quite the case so I have found to my detriment!

I had one doctor a few years back report to the DWP following an assessment that he had never heard of a particular drug that I had been prescribed for. As a result it was deemed that my whole claim was treated as a 'try on' and was refused.

I didn't appeal as I did not have the medical knowledge to disprove his opinion.

Although some 7 years later I decided to put in another claim and the doctor I saw at the assessment knew all about this particular drug and why it was prescribed. I was awarded full benefit at that time.

Just goes to show that the whole set up with the DWP is a complete shambles.
