Am I Entitled To Dla/ca/iidb Help

Speak to the CAB. They will do a complete benefits check to see what you're entitled to.

They will also help you with (most of) the forms.

They specialise in DLA forms in most areas.

Here we go, bit easier to read ...

Hi was wondering if anybody could please help me, I would like to know if I am entitled to any other benefits than Incapacity, which I have to pay money out, for rent, council tax, prescription, glasses, dentist etc.

I have been told about a benefit called Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit any one know about this. I had an accident at work in 1984, I slipped down wet stairs that did not have any warnings and injured my back this was logged, I had to go to the hospital and have treatment after my doctors referred me, I suffered back injuries and was in a lot of pain (I still am), my doctor signed me off work. I did not claim as I did not know anything about it. I was put on strong painkillers and they started, after a while to give me acid, the only way to get rid of it was to make myself sick, and this has caused me to become bulimic, and a few years ago I was diagnosed with Barretts Oesophagus because of the acid, also I am now anaemic suffering with depression, also on the borderline of c o p d. I also am asthmatic with two inhalers, all of this has taken its toll on me. I am always in pain I don’t go out the house and cannot deal with other people. I rarely get dressed and have let myself go, I also do not look after myself, I have had failed relationships as I am hard to live with. I do not want to be like this and hate myself for it, I cannot afford to have a healthy diet as I have not go enough money left to buy it. I want to be ok but every which way I go I am unemployable I can’t go out on my own I feel nervous, my friend always come with me if I have to go out, I cannot use public transport, I am too self conscious and wary. I also suffer with IBS I have never asked any one for anything.

If there are any benefits or advice anybody could help me with I would be so grateful. My friend saw this website and thought I should ask for help and advice on any benefits. I hope you can help me with this, if it was not for my friend helping me and supporting I don’t think I could cope he even borrows a car to take me out now and again. Do you think there are benefits I could claim or am I wasting my time please offer any suggestions. Many thanks.

Fenderman i would please ask you to seek advice from a welfare rights organisation simply because just by asking you questions they will be able to see how your disabilities meet the criteria and word them properly.

Once again on your behalf thank you DMG great job mate.
