I just get fed up with the wholesale statements that say if you are "black, asian, Albanian, etc you get x amount the day you arrive " & the "If I was an illegal immigrant you'd be falling over yourself to give me money" It's b*llsh*t if you arrive in the country you have to prove you are entitled not the other way round, but of course people choose to believe what they read in the right wing press (Mail, Express, Sun etc!" rather someone who actually works there.
Rant over I'll get my coat.

It's ok Stanaccy I realise you are only trying to give a constructive reply within your remit. I am not the only one who has had to struggle to obtain DLA/Moblity allowance. Did you ever know a man by the name of 'Blind Michael'. If I may have a moment of your time I will relate this tale. Mick had no arms and was blind due to an accident with explosives, he and his wife applied for 16 years to get the said benefit, without success because Mick could walk and he also worked on the NHS internal telephones. His good lady persisted and managed to get it for him just before he was 65years of age. The only reason I am relating this tale is that they now sadly have passed away, so I do not think mine is an isolated case, or unique.Regards Ian.
