Look in Help for claimants (left hand side of page, orange box) and you'll find a menu.

Hi ,thanks for your reply,its not actually my husband who gets carers allowence for me but another person who is with me 40 hrs a week,

Thanks just re-read your text,i have had a recent assessment from social services adult care team,they have 5 categories,i think,it may have been 4,for levels of help needed,i qualified for the second highest catergory and received help from them in the form of grab rails,toilet frame, bed rail to help me get in and out of bed,and the offer of a bath seat.i sent this report from adult care to the DLA unit with the form they asked me to complete.

hi besides going to appeal you should contact your MP and remind them that atos are now supposed to contact your GP and consultants before any decision is made I would also ring dwp and remind them that these are the guidlines set out in the harrington report and also the coalition goverment tell them you are contacting your MP and you feel taxpayers money is being wasted because atos are not collecting all avaidable information you never know they might have to look at your case again peter
