I have arthritis, am I entitlied to DLA?
lisachloe replied to lisachloe's topic in Special needs, Disability etc
Thanks, I think I will try & appy online - well read through the application form if I can..... I remember it being a lengthly one! -
This is just an update on my situation. The council were not bothered that the bailiff may not be certificated. Nor, would she take our arreas back. So, I don't know what to do now? Do I just ring the council again & hope that I get someone more understanding or leave it , pay Rossendales even though the way this woman filled in the forms was wrong - with no walking possession agreement or the fact she may not have a certificate?

That's great thanks, I'm thinking that as I have xrays from birth surely there's no getting away from the fact that my condition has worsened. I rely on taxi's & other people for the supermarket etc... somedays my husband or daughter helps me up & down the stairs etc. I've fallen down the stairs twice last month, so I know with age I wont get any better. Thanks for all your help, I will give it a try. I'll no doubt get knocked back & would've probably never re-applied, so I'll just keep going. Cheers -
I am 36 yrs old & was born with a congenital dislocated hip. As a child I attended hospital appointments, as I had years of being in casts. It was established at the age of 11 that I be dismissed from hospital as they could do nothing else for me. Since then my condition has worseded & I now have arthritis in my lower back & right hip. I was sent for x-rays from my doctor & it was established that I did have arthritis & I needed physio. Physio, didn't really help as I also have 1 leg shorter than the other (I had no balance when doing the physio) so I was given a heel raise of 1.5" to wear in my shoe & discharged from the hospital's physio department. I now get incapacity benefit & the last time I had to go for a medical was around 8 years ago (I was sent a medical form to fill in around 5 yrs ago & got a letter back saying they will contact me Dec 2008) My arthritis has worsened & I now find it uncomfortable during the night & I end up going "walkabout" as it's too painful. I don't know if I should apply for DLA as back in 1996 my daughter was diagnosed with Leukaemia & turned down! The hospital social worker re-applied again for us & she was finally awarded it. SO, I'm thinking, if they turn down a child with cancer, what hope do I have with arthritis? I also suffer with depression, which is related to other issues & my arthritis. Many thanks & sorry that this is a long post.

Well she called today at 12:30pm & didn't get in the house. She was kept outside & handed my husband 3 forms She added her fees of £24.50 for her 1st visit, £18.00 for her 2nd visit but didn't add £12.00 for her waliking fee - which I'm told is questionable. No forms were filled in by my husband & the waliking possession agreement didn't get filled in by her. he told her that we'd been in contact with the CAB & she said that she was sick of them "do-googers" trying to tell her, her job She was very stroppy & said that if we didn't pay within 5 days (don't know if these are 5 working days or not) then they were to seize goods. So what happens from today we have no idea! Such a foul woman she belongs on the Horlicks "How do they sleep at night" advert!

I had a letter through the door from Rossendales on Tuesday of this week, demanding £816.00 for our 2007 council tax bill. The lady never knocked on my door! My husband contacted her & she was adamant that this bill had gone to court & that she demanded the money in full. She then put another letter through my door the following day (Wednesday) Again, my husband rang her & she said she would be calling again today, to recover the money! We are unable to pay the amount in full & technically we owe arrears from April - October of this year, with 3 months remaining of the current bill. She was very off hand with my husband on the phone & said that if we don't see her today then she has no alternative than to send a van next week to recover the debt by our goods going to auction. I'd like to know if she's allowed to do this & if the council could just accept our payments as the bill is for this year (2007)? All replies are appreciated.
