DLA has always been a joke as far as I'm concerned, as I have mentioned before there was the case of Michael who was blind and had no hands(following an accident) who was refused DLA for many years. Ok so he was eventually rewarded it but why/who makes the decisions? They obviously have no idea about living with a disability but they make the decision of what a disability constitutes
And can I add that the adjudicators are about as clued up as idiots. When we learnt that Ian's mum had terminal cancer the form was filled in by professionals to make things easier but what was sent in return? Just a letter saying "as you have six months or less to live you are entitled to high rate DLA" Who appoints these so called "experts" for these jobs?
