my DLA have refused to acknowledge any of the changes i have raised with them with regards to my DLA i am on low rate for both at the moment and really think, on advice from others, that i should be on the mid rate for care or above as i cannot do anything on my own at all!!! i cant leave the house most of the time and if i do it is with someone i trust to escort me, i am trying to go through the independant tribunal route now. i have the letter written etc, just need to send it off. should i enclose evidence from my specialists and gp?? or wait for them to request it? they are saying i only need 1 hour of assitance a day which is bull, i need 4-5 hours minimum per day plus they are saying i am not in danger of harming myself, well my track record of suicide attempts and being in hospital begs to differ. i have told them all this from the start and they have simply ignored me!
what do i do?
i have borderline personality disorder and AS. i am an adult but i am finding this terribly difficult and my closest family who help me do not have the time to help me properly. im at the end of my tether.
