I am so pleased ~I could cry with joy Having been retired from work through ill health reasons I applied for ESA and the powers to be agreed it. I then applied for DLA and yesterday, after a 2 month wait they have awarded me higher rate mobility and middle care. You don't know how pleased I am. I am sure that this would not have been so straight forward had I not read the guidance notes on this site. Your site has been my salvation from stress, and the worry about how I could survive should they turn me down and I had to go for medicals. I want to thank you for the guidance notes and plead with others in a similar position embarking upon filling those horrid forms to take the time to thoroughly digest the contents and apply these notes to your forms. Thanks Linda
