This morning I get the news that I have been turned down for Disability Living Allowance. It's a joke applying for this benefit.
The staff at the DWP are not medically trained and therefore have no idea what Iam going through with the chemo and how it affects me on a daily basis .They have made their assessment on my Doctor's report which does not mention anything about how I manage on a daily basis.
I am rendered a liar and my only resource is to go before a tribunal of three people; a lawyer, a retired GP (what do they know of the daily management of chemo) and a person from the glorious Dept of Works and Pensions!!!
I put my case and I am well equipped to do that but for most sick and vulnerable people they fall at the first hurdle of being rejected on paper.Thats what the DWP want and the systems are set up to reject most applications. It's almost as if the application process is designed to wear you down enough that you will give up applying which actually happens in most cases!!!!
Not in mine it doesn't... Boudecia meets Eva Peron versus the DWP and I will win....
