Incapacity Benefit


There is an interesting article about this on the BBC News website  HERE.


I would be interested to hear from any of you (in UK) who may have had experiences like those described in the article.

Hello Mr Chairman, Hope you and your daughter are well.
Because of my various medical conditions I am eligble for DLA at the higher rate for both care and mobility, however I was asked to take the PCA but after some careful reading of one of the DWP'S own leaflets I dicovered I was exempt from this farcical test.The DWP was to say the least put when I quoted their own rules to them, and the test was cancelled.I also get IB.
Don't believe all you are told, a healthy spot of cynycism works wonders.
TAKE CARE ---ROSSY
