OMG great news and i just had to share! -a guy from DWP just rang me to tell me they have reviewed my appeal and are awarding me full enhancement for both parts!!! yipeeeee!
i can’t believe it, this has been going on since September last year - now i will FINALLY be able to get a motorised chair and get out of these four walls by myself and start LIVING my life!
Oooooooooooh. Well done. Hooray and all that. With news like that your image can be a huge as you like. Do you know yet how long the award is for? Hopefully 10 years. Fingers Xd.
Are you going to buy a chair or get one on Motability.?
Can I offer some advice, but you dont have to take it.
My current chair has a reclining back and tilting seat and leg rests that raise too.
I could`ve bought one for 2.5k, but thought Motability was a good idea. It wasnt. By the time the 3 year lease is up, I will have paid around 4k for it! And worst of all, I dont get to keep it…so I am hoping wheelchair services will offer me an alternative.
I have an assessment next week and the lease ends in January.
No! I actually just had a call from welfare rights the day before about arranging a day to come see me about going through my case! I’m so relieved won’t have to go through all that now xxx
Oh they are - he said they were backdating it to last September, which is even earlier than I thought they would but that’s when my DLA ended so they go from that apparently!
