Sorries for the language but I was quite angry when I did this page. My mum has a few disabilites which made me not want to go to uni however she didn't wanna hold me back so I attended a nearby one.
When applying for DLA (disability living allowance), you're meant to have your doctor approve, then for the DLA to send theirs to double check which is completely understandable. The doctor is meant to make an appointment with said client, for them to have a witness & for them to read + sign the doctors notes. He turned up unannounced, mum had no witness & wasn't even dressed for that matter. Then what really takes the biscuit is that she didn't even read or sign his notes & was then declined DLA. My mum can barely walk let alone pic up a kettle for christ sake! She now has to go for appeal which could take 6 months!?! She's running out of sick pay :(. I wish I could move back to help I really do :(.
It just sickens me that that's how greedy this country is these days. Sure we'll let lazy people have money to live even though they are perfectly capable of earning... but people who can't really move... WE CAN MAKE THEM WAIT. They are literally declining everyone of DLA at first to try to make them give up, see how long they can keep their money. It is bloody ridic.
Any thoughts + similar experiences please comment.
