Hello everyone,
Im seriously hoping someone can help me- as I am pulling my hair out looking for support!!!!!
Back in 2009, I applied for DLA- and recieve the higher rate mobility, and middle rate care. I lost this back (along with my motability vehicle in July)
I have right hemiplegia (cerebel palsay), which ive had since birth (due to a stroke which I had to read in some medical records over the summer - apparantly my parents telling me "ive had it since birth" is the same as telling me i had a stroke)
I can walk, but cannot stand very long, can not walk long distances, prone to falls- and I also struggle mentally which I think is down to it also- but I really don't know, in the 19 years of my life I have recieve little support and guidance and it is really starting to distress me!!! :frown:
Scope and various other places are simply just ignoring my emails.
Anyway....i need to know the following:
*Has anyone gone to an assesment for adaptions for a car, got the adaptions, then gone back to DLA, and they have then given you a motability vehicle (with adaptions). Ie- did they change their mind now that you had adaptions and they sat up and actually NOTICED.
*Does anyone know of any support groups in the North West area for cerebal palsay? I want to know exactly how things can affect me, and exactly what I am intitled too.
Anyone in the same boat as me? I hope not, and hope it never happens to you
Its a shame some dirty, liers have to ruin it for everyone
Please, please help- DLA
in Benefits and HMRC
