- #MyDLA If it wasn't for DLA I wouldn't have been able to work, take my family anywhere and, now I'm retired, get out and about
“I have no family or Carers to help me with my #disability & #illness so #myDLA helps with daily needs incl rent, taxis & takeaways.
“I lost a chunk of my right leg had a vigorous 121 interview 2 verify my claim.Due a new interview so they can see if its grown back! #MyDLA- “Remember that you can't know that you might not be disabled in the future. I'm sure you would want respect & dignity. DLA is vital. #myDLA
- “#myDLA - the only thing preventing complete financial dependency on partner or family. What price dignity?
- “A 50 page form to explain how you poo, wee, sleep, walk, eat, sleep & then possible medical, yes, that's an easy way out isn't it? #myDLA
- “Pain killers, vitamin supplements, bath board, big grip utensils paid with #myDLA #disabilityCanBeHidden
- “Many people have no clue about the challenges & extra high expenses disabled people, parents & children have to face daily. #myDLA
- “#myDLA - When I was working I filled in hundreds of these forms with people who couldn't fill them in themselves. Takes at least 2 hrs.
- “Hateful back pain, hateful hip pain, fed up with being in pain and being fed up of being in pain #mydla
“Refused #myDLA 1st time & appealed because most had to. Renewed every 3 years until 2010, now yearly. Conditions are #incurable & worsening.
“#myDLA has given me taxis to & from hospital appts, heat & light when I'm in 24-7, heating pads & ice packs, ready meals & takeaways (contd)
“#myDLA pays for Virgin - an internet community that supports me when I'm suicidal, vital phone connection & TV to keep me distracted (contd)
“#myDLA pays for cat food for my furry companion & might pay for a cleaner now that my #wifely_one has gone home to help her parents (contd)
“#mydla helps make it to hospital appointments & allows me to buy inexpensive new clothes when mine are soaked in blood. Is that luxury?- “#mydla is only mine because my parents fought tooth & nail for it, while providing all of my care & my healthy sister's too. Is that easy?
- “#mydla gives helps me to buy health-related necessities & to get by day-to-day. It enables me to pay for essential care. Is that scrounging?
