Have any adults managed to get DLA?

stranger

This is really starting to piss me off now:

I receive low rate care and mobility for sight imapirment. Despite me having Autism and associated sensory issues, they have decided that these should not be an issue. Part of their argument seems to be "you were born with it, so you should have adapted now". Except, that's not true. I was not born with hyperacusis, which they have decided I do not need help with. Er, it causes meltdowns. They claim they can't take things into account which may happen. Going by that logic, I shouldn't be able to claim DLA on the basis on not being to cook a meal because I may burn myself.

It seems as though they've ignored everything that I've written on my forms. They also used a medical report which was written in May last year - it's irrelevant now.

    Seriously, same story across the autism board, the DLA ignored my claim, I think it is because I wrote and gave them the information myself at first,, then I appealed via the council advice support worker and told them,, good ! If anyone is looking for me, I will be rotting in the house, if I get called to go to a work interview for the DWP, I will just tell them I have no support via DLA, although the doctors medically say I am need support.

    The strange thing here is the governments says to us all do X,Y and Z and does not provide the support nor resources to carry out there policy. The Government talkith and giveth no away. Anyway the psychriast and psychologist wrote to them with a copy of the care plan and basically told them to get real !

    I have learned to stop trying to explain my condition in full to a machine proxy run by souless demons,, just get the doctors to write to them with your care plan.
