So are they still not factoring in increased awareness? That could easily account for the 16%. When I went to the CAB about my IB they encouraged me to apply for DLA, and I assume a lot of people have had a similar experience. It comes naturally to only apply for subsistance-level benefits and try to get by.
PS. Hope you're doing ok, Bendy.
When I was dx I had never heard of DLA. When I saw the nurse who was helping me through she told me about DLA and told me to apply for it. Then the social care worker helped with forms etc as I didnt know what it was about. At that time i thought to myself 'My body may be failing but at least the govt care about me in this way' It made me feel like a somebody and not a scumbag nobody. Guess they have decided I AM a scumbag nobody now, and are on the attack to tell me I am fine when at this time there is NO cure for what I have. (And in all effects it has got worse every single year snce dx)
It makes me feel like I have no right to life, have no right to live, or even to laugh. I have no right to anything because this govt hates all disabled people - Thats how I feel today.
