hi marie , did you appeal & when was it you got told no , Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is changing from 10 June 2013 & anyone over 16 must apply for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) instead of DLA.

the problem with PIP is that its going to be a lot harder getting it with walking very restricted until you get pain & need to stop , with DLA it was about 50 yards but its a lot less with PIP , talk to CAB if you can

Thanks Colin
i did not appeal as i was feeling a lot better my meds were working quite well. i went for it last june and took over 4 months for them to get bact to me just to say no :(
I will give cab a ring to see what they say then..
