Still waiting for diagnosis of ASD but now have CFS :(

Really struggling to deal with all this I am so exhausted I just want to curl under my bed all the time

  • You have every right ask for your DLA to be paid into your bank account not your mother's. She probably helped you fill in the form and gave it to you to sign, putting her details on it. A quick phone call to them should sort this out.

    It is not the case that everyone thinks you cannot do anything for yourself.
    But qualifying for DLA requires someone to be significantly disabled. And if you are significantly disabled this will attract the attention of social services. It is nothing personal - they are just on the lookout for people that need help, and if you work with them they will hopefully provide this.
