DLA

Well done Mr Grumpy!!!

Great result!

Also remember you can use the mobility payment for car or scooter or power wheelchair… and you can get a blue badge from local council.

If you are on Income Support, you should now get the ‘severe disability’ payment.

Well done… relax and celebrate!

Thanks guys. I’m walking like a drunken man so that’s the best it will get for now. Work tomorrow but I’ll not tell them until I cut my hours. My turn to screw them over.

I’d rather not qualify and not have MS though.

Credit when credit’s due, I’ve £1300 paid into my account today for my DLA having just got the letter on Monday of the decision. Rang today to get the application form to claim Disabled Tax Credits.

Still maintain I’d definitely rather do without these payments if it means doing without MS.

Yes Mr Grumpy we’d all rather do without MS. I think that has to be said as it could be seen that we are just pleased to get the benefits.

Without MS I would be working for another 5 years and loved my job.

But none of us asked for this thing that has come along and scuppered us (is that a word or did I just make it up?!)

Scuppered is both a Nautical term and slang for what MS has done to our lives. I cant even get out of bed today thank goodness for laptops or I wouldnt be on here today. PS I love the emoticon withe the thumbs up

(Y) is this it(Y)

ahhhhhh show I aint been here for ages I just spent ten minutes finding the code for a thumbs up and it was here all the time, just as well I have nothing else to do with my days isnt it. or thats me. My son recons I am an emotional wreck I cry at silly TV programs or even if I read a sad story in the paper or a book.

Oh Hoppity I know the feeling. I cry at TV adverts!

It’s funny really because I don’t cry over things that happen to me… well not often anyway… but stuff on the telly can really get me going.

Glad you worked out the emoticons (hey you remembered what they are called… I just call them ‘the little faces’… LOL…)

Yep a nautical expression as in ‘scuppered the boat’… thought it came from somewhere.

Hope you are having a nice Good Friday,

Yep I am having a great Good Friday my brother camme to visit me this morning and had to sit in the comode in my bedroom as there were no other ‘chairs’. We put the world to rites and drunk coffee and told each other jokes plus remembered stuff from near on fifty years ago we both thought we had forgotten

oops forgot to add one of the "little faces" I put the cat because my daughters cat has got five kittens
