I think [emphasise think] everyone is entitled to some care if they are disabled from SS, well we have certainly been offered help many times, but I was under the impression that DLA was awarded to help the disabled person do things that they cannot do as a result of their disability and that wouldn't always mean paying carers to come in and do whatever they do.
Obviously for some it would mean exactly that but not all surely, or have I got that wrong is DLA only to be spent in buying in care workers?
It's a long time since I filled in the forms but I don't remember anything about it having to be spent on paid care workers and I filled them in myself and had no problems from DWP.0 -

They only help people with severe care needs. Well, when I lived in London, they did.Obviously for some it would mean exactly that but not all surely, or have I got that wrong is DLA only to be spent in buying in care workers?

DLA is meant to be for extra costs due to disability. For some people, this wll be care workers, for others it'll be things like extra washing, water, electric, etc.Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

OK thanks for that but why are people saying that care should be brought in instead of being given the money?They only help people with severe care needs. Well, when I lived in London, they did.

Because apparently, none of us (or very few) spend it on the intended purpose and go without care.Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

Because if people are claiming on the grounds that they need care or cannot do things for themselves it just seems odd that they feel no need to actually receive the care or get someone to do whatever they can't do but just struggle on.
Yes once the money has been handed over it is the recipient's to do with as they like but then they should not complain about how it is only a pittance and they are still not getting the care.0 -

To get the lower rate, you need at least one hour of care and you need it for at least 5 days a week. How many people do you know would be willing to work for £3.79 per hour? Many of us also find that we need more than an hour of help. Again, how many people do you know will be willing to work for a couple of pounds per hour?Sealed pot challenge #232.

I used my DLA funded MP3 Player today.
And I now have my DLA funded Bubble Lamp on
I also had my DLA funded cooked meal and pudding too
Just thought I would rub it in for all those dedicated tax payers out there :P You know, the ones that slag DLA claimants while sucking the system of child benefit.0
