    if you can't get help with the form join 'Benefits and work" its a website that offers independent advice and guides to filling out forms. it's £18 to join but it is so worth it. it shows how the forms are marked and how to word them. it's been invaluable to me for years. it's not run buy the DHSS and the guides are there to help you get the rate that reflects your need..http://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/

    You can get plenty of free advicec which is just as good elsewhere. (here and specific charity websites)

    I'm not too sure if the DWP have got this right.

    My DLA (HRM & MRC) ended at the start of the year after I received no points at all for PIP. The mobility car has been taken back unfortunately and the disabled premium and carers allowance premium has been removed meaning a massive loss of money.

    I made a right dogs dinner of the PIP claim form so decided to put another one in and not to bother with an appeal (no point in my mind). Have spoken to the DWP and they tell me that I can't make another claim as I am too old!!!! I only turned 65 a few weeks ago.

    Can they do that?

    Any update on your claim Andy, after all it is a massive amount of money?
    Its not that we have more patience as we grow older, its just that we're too tired to care about all the pointless drama ;)
