DLA appeal refused.

[lottiejenkins]

I went to Wilfs DLA appeal today, they had reduced his highest rate care to middle rate. It was so frightening going in there. A lawyer a doctor and somebody else as well as someone from the benefits agency. They said i couldnt get the highest rate as he is at school all week and he never gives them any trouble! I told them exactly what he is like at home and how much trouble i have getting into bed and staying there but as he spends most of his time at school by law they cant do anything to help!

I know.........its so annoying,I was in tears when i left the appeal.

oh poor you, that sounds so unfair

poor you x

That sounds really unfair, and a bit odd that the school would say he doesn't give them any bother when he is there. for you

But Lottie I thought HIgh rate care was related to night time needs so would have nothing to do with the school surely?

I didnt say im sorry, he is at residential school from Monday to Friday so spends most of his nights with them!

Sorry to hear that, lottiejenkins. Frustrating for you

Oh now I see. Oh how unsupportive of them. Had they said they weren't going to support your appeal?

Not exactly.......and they cant say he's being a pain there if he isnt!
