    Nah not upset me at all.

    Glad of that..

    But there has to be cut off points and that is what the government has chosen to do.

    I know it is not fair but you have to see if from there point of view.

    I don't want to :D:DThe amount being paid in to the pot is less than what is being drawn. So they have to cut back where they can.

    Start with the allowances they get then for their second homes perhaps :eek:

    The problem is if you allowed people over 65 who have become disabled through accident and nothing to do with old age. Then you will have fight on you hands as the others will say it is not fair.

    Also with things like DLA it is all about how you fill the forms who gets the best results. I filled them out for my husband. And should be grateful for two things

    1) my husband is still alive
    2) that he gets DLA and IB as I could never afford to support him and pay all the bills myself.

    Take care

    Yours

    Glad you were successful and you still have him

    You take care too

    but if your claim is allowed before you are 65 your entitlement continues after.....?

    Yes your claim can continue after 65 for both components of DLA if you still qualify otherwise.
