lil_me Report post Posted September 4, 2005 (edited) I promised to let people know how it went. Thanks to what I've learn't over the last 2 years since my son was diagnosed and the amazing amount of information and support from this forum I was able to help my sister through her recent DLA claim (She has a schizophrenia related disorder) , then appeal, she just got awarded middle rate care and lower rate mobility. This will make an amazing difference to her family, she has a partner and 2 little ones, her partner is now applying for carers allowance aswell. Big thanks to those who have passed on experience and knowledge on this forum Edited September 4, 2005 by lil_me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
