Wrong! DLA can be taken away. I was given DLA 12 years ago. 4 years ago they stopped it. They said i wasnt ill enough for it to be carried on. Dont know how they said that - when i had my wrists still in the splints and actually couldnt squeeze the doctors fingers!!!

Yes I think you are right shillelagh, it can be given for a certain term and then removed, but the whole process of applying is a minefield of traps to try to trick you out of getting it, and certainly the application form should only be filled in with the help of a 'professional'
