“#mydla I always get pros to fill my forms in. Not only do they know the language to use but it shows the DWP/ATOS/whoever you are not alone.- “#mydla I can't tell you how cross it makes me to see the media attacking people with disabilities. Utterly shabby behaviour.

- “#myDLA was my gateway to benefits and supported me at the start of my career. I don't claim DLA now, but wouldn't be where I am without it
- “#mydla Was helping pay for bills till it was taken away because "I can walk". My foot has been crooked for 2 years. Do you walk like that?

DLA covers mortgage ( self adapted bungalow) and hubby to run car for us. I have secondry progressive ms , hubby heart by pass and failure not eligible for DLA and don't even know if he's eligible for ESA yet (shambolic ATOS). I was priced out of market and under assessed 12 hours a week for 'direct payments' from independent living fund, a charge of £56 pound a week......oh yes they means test the care component that is in the equation ..that's another story. I'm means tested on early retirement pension, they deduct £40 ESA a week and tax pension £17 a week. Worry about the degeneration of my health and NOT being able to meet cost at all of basic needs at all.
