Hiya there, Not sure if im going to be repeating what millions of other members have said...but basically the story goes :- Have higher rate DLA for my autistic son. Claimed motability as like many others we still have to put our eldest in a pram because he cant handle walking for long distances, We have two other children, one 2 and one ten months. We cant get a taxi unless its a 5 or 6 seater, we cant catch a bus as jack repeatedly presses the bell. They have had our motability claim for five months, and it has been to the medical team three times, and they claim this was because they were trying to find ways for us to be accepted for it (rubbish more like ways to decline it). They have now turned us down because Jacks nursery teacher says he doesnt have behavioral problems, jack throws himself on the floor repeatedly and has trouble listening. Okay ill leave at that for now, anyway we are appealing but just wondered if anyone has any ideas on how to approach the appeal. regards Neil

Hiya there, The council have been giving me the run around and are now threatning court action as I was unemployed for a while but then found employlment, but I am sure we are still entitled to council tax benefit, as my son gets higher rate dla, my wife gets carers allowance...etc.etc... I have looked on the web but it seems to have conflicting answers, I want to make sure I know what I am talking about before I ring them, could anyone advise?? regards Neil PS I am now unemployed again, so I dont see it being a problem (between jobs not leeching)...this is my first day off work and as you can all probably appreciate, working full-time, working long shifts, and having a 1 hour and 30 minute bus ride there 1 1/2 back, and a autistic son, takes a toll..im just taking a breather this week..should be out of work for too long. Sorry for this last rant but like I said dont want anyone thinking im leeching
