I'm taking a break from blogging for the last couple of weeks of August. See you all in September ready for the campaign against the proposed cuts to AA and DLA.
Hi, only just found your blog (via Siren Voices), and it's great!
I must say, I saw your foot picture and thought "oooh look at that hypermobility" as I've got it myself, but thankfully only mildly (it exacerbates my other conditions, but was fine except clicks when I was younger).
I hadn't heard about these DLA changes. I only just got awarded a few months ago (was flat turned down three years ago when totally housebound and unable to dress myself or brush my own hair...). So very scary, I'm struggling with the local council's care provisions at the moment (their response to my every need being 'well you should pay for that yourself', despite me already being on discretitionary housing payments and still slipping further and further into debt as disabled-friendly accomodation is almost twice my housing benefit rate as an under 25 *rolleyes* ).
Anyhow. I'm rambling now, but I thought I'd say that I think this blog seems super from the couple of pages I've read so far, so many things I can relate to (being young with a hidden disibility being a main one!), so I'm definitely going to try and come back regularly!
Enjoy the break, Bendy
